LONDON calling...b a b y...

-
This time each year, life gets a little crazy.... this year is no exception.
On Thursday, we celebrate 17th of May... National Day of Norway.... there will parades, carnivals, family dinners...  it is a day of GO GO GO....
To make it even MORE hectic, Dane and I are going to skip town right after the morning parade & family lunch..
and take off to LONDON...


My BABY boy is turning 13 next week... ( how can I be the mother of a teenager?)
I really wanted to do something special with him...

So we are taking off with another of Dane's friend (who also has a birthday) & his mom...
and the 4 of us are going to paint the town red...
Wish us (the mom's) luck.

Hope y'all are having a FANTASTIC week...

How close are you to London?
Have a great, amazing trip and take photos for us.
Thank you so much for the compliment on my top I wore for Mother's Day. I had so many people tell me hoe pretty it was.
Here it is and it is still 40% off!

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
