12.12.12... a day to remember...

-
I woke up this morning thinking this will be the last time in my lifetime...
we get the day.month.year.. all of the same...

Wish I would have done something special on all of them... ya, but I didn't.

today- I just decided to remember what we did...

Woke up to yet another FREEZING morning here in Norwegian...
got my babies off to school...
and hubby unpacked from our weekend in Germany.. & repacked for a business trip to Florence, ITALY..
I LOVE ITALY...and it has been a while..
(wouldn't it be nice if we could travel with each other on business? - sigh.)


There was a lovely 9:15 sunrise... so I decided to to go down to our dock & take a few shots.
I worked... and worried about all of the things I haven't done in preperation for Christmas..
Picked up my baby girl early from school..
so we could have a little time together before her school's Christmas Show...
NAGGED my teenage son.. about studying for his test tomorrow...
about how he needs to get his act together if he is going to get into a good school..
BLA BLA BLA... (I sound JUST LIKE MY PARENTS)

Attended a FANTASTIC production by the 3rd grade... good lord, where does the time go?

little late dinner - just the 3 of us...
and wrapped up a really. nice.day.
Nothing really exciting.. but just another great day with my family...
You are probably asking... what the "a day to remember" bit was about?

sometimes I need to remind myself that is is all worth remembering.. the good. the bad. the hectic...
GOING TO BE BETTER... (or so I keep telling myself.. lol)

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...

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...
