The MOOSE is LOOSE

-
One my way to the airport... but I just had to SHARE this...
Look what Eva spotted in our backyard this morning...


Man, that kid has a good eye.   She ALWAYS runs in to Moose... - me - not so much...
I have never been this close..
So instead of driving her to school right away.. I throw on my Wellies... - yes with my PJ's .. and start trying to get a good picture---
All the while trying to figure just how fast I can run through the mud, if mama decided she wanted to charge...
As they build closer & closer to our house... I am uncertain of how many chances like this I may get...
Just wanted to share... 

Now I have a plane to catch...  17 hours to Thailand.. UGH... wish me luck!

My daughter always spies our neighborhood fox. Yes we have red fox that roam our urban neighborhood. ;) And my dad had a coyote cross his path on his walk the other morning. THAT made me nervous but he said the coyote didn't even pay attention to him.

That's pretty amazing! Right in your yard? Every time I'm in Norway, I say, "this is the time I'm going to see a Moose." Never happens. I've read stories about Moose getting drunk on fermented berries and acting out...beware of drunken Moose!!!

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...
