Almost Wordless Wednesday - 2 mountains in one day!

Sun too bright....

 tired and grumpy.....

Gotta love a mucky face.

Beach Time

While at my MIL's house last weekend I drove the boys the 10 minutes to one of my favourite places in the world.

Refvik Beach.

It is Ahhmazing!!

I always had Stig drive us out there each time we visit - pretty much every time we were the only ones on the whole beach:).

It is the combination of the mountians, white sand, clear aqua sea and breeze.

It is so refreshing and I always feel better after visiting.

The boys love it too.

I told them we would just go and have a run on the beach and maybe play in the sand. 

It was a little too cold and windy to swim yet, so we didn't take their swim shorts.

Do you think that stopped them???

They were totally drawn to the ocean.

First, just standing watching the crashing waves.

Then just dipping there toes in....

Obviously that was never going to be enough!!

Seriously boys!!!!

BUT - they had a blast:))

At least I was sensible and kept on dry land and did photo overload;)

Bubble Fun at Farmor's

We travelled to visit my MIL last weekend.

It took us just over seven hours driving to get there.

I was very proud of doing it. Although I have done this trip numerous times, this was the first time I had done the driving. 

(Photo overload about to take place;)

The boys were rock star travellers as always - whatever life has thrown at me, thank goodness my kids love any type of travel, whether by car, train or plane:)

It was a gorgeous day and on arrival we sat out on the balcony and my MIL brought out some bubbles for the boys.

So simple...

Yet so much fun!!

They played for so long. 

The squeals and giggles were priceless.

Wordless Wednesday - Boys Just Hanging out!

Tim's School Ball

Tim is growing up fast. 

Quick lesson on the Norwegain education system....

In the Norwegian education system children attend 'Barneskole' from Grade One to Grade Seven.

Barneskole is split into two sections. Grade 1-4 and Grade 5-7. They have different start times and expectations in each department. Each section is led by a deputy.

After Baneskole, students go to Ungdomsskole, (Highschool) for Grades 8-10.

So, as this is his last year of Barneskole there was a Skoleball, aka - School Prom.

So exciting (perhaps for me, more than him;)

Trying to be a good mum I signed up to make a cake. As the baker in our family was Stig, this was quite a challenge for me.

However, I am lucky to have amazing friends. Therefore my friend Karen came over and helped me produce a fancy pants, lets go all out for his prom cake:)

He was very proud to take this with him!

He was not loving me taking his picture outide our house before I dropped him off.

He was even less impressed when I made him pose with two of the lovely ladies from his class!

Love him - but would also love to slow down this growing up lark!
