American in Norway

I awoke to the pitter patter of my kids running around.. trying to get everything ready before I came downstairs... What more can a girl ask for on her BIG day? In the bloggy world... I have been stuck at 398 followers for E V E R.. just saying.. hmmmm

Party went off without a hitch today.... I think the LUAU theme was a big hit... at least the Norwegians can not say we are not original in our themes :-) Managed to throw together a FLIP FLOP cake at the last min.... I was pretty pleased with the end results.... NEXT year however... I am going to be a bit more organized & start planning ahead of time... hee hee.. (I say that every year) We had ice cream sundaes & I really enjoyed getting to know all of Eva's new classmates... what a lovely bunch of girls. I am PRETTY SURE I FINALLY have some DOWN TIME... S.I.G.H....... Wish I could end this post with something witty... but at this point... 4 hours of sleep, having had 15 kids over & a husband out of town... well my brain is pretty much MUSH.... Night all....

So last week, Wenche's son, lets call him "PRINCE" ... shows up with invitations to his Birthday party... All of the boys in the class were invited except TWO... (yes...Dane was left out...) -this is the first time that Wenche has left Dane off of the list..but not the first time that she has excluded one or two children from the birthday party. Last year she invited the entire class boys & girls.. but left ONE little girl off of the list because she has an egg allergy & couldn't be bothered worrying about what she may or may not eat. HELLO? WHO DOES THIS? who excludes A child?- as a show of solidarity all of the little girls boycotted the party.. & Wenche was labeled a freak by the girls mothers... (or so I have heard through the grapevine...) There is a rule at school (or so I thought) that if you don't invite...
