So Ona makes him the best brownies for breakfast and he sleeps in. The fire-cracker candle is a nice touch, don't you think? He then got up and secured a summer job for himself. A good kid!

Simen Graduates! Russ Outfit in Norway
The tradition of Russ is famous in Norway. Students in thier last year of High school plan for THREE years for a two-week party called Russ. They split into groups, buy a van or even a buss, choose a name for their group, choose activities and commision a band to make up a song for thier group. They spend thousands of Norweigan Crowne for the event and learn to work in groups.
In this link you can see Simen in his local newsapaper partying it up!

Just as Nadar Predicted....
"You just KNOW some soccer mom is going to come along and make a cake with SEVEN colors, and one-up YOUR rainbow cake." It was true. (those bitches!) :)
The LAST year of the dreaded HORN Elementary FUN night and yet ONE more year with NO Spencer familly win in the cake-decorating contest. Look at that beauty...it is a HOT-AIR balloon, that was made with the OFFICIAL rainbow cake recipe. I paid BIG bucks for the recipe, took a class and to no avail. Oh well, somebody got a GREAT cake this year at the cake walk.
Rehearsing
Please don't let the ice ruin our beautiful snow cover. The skiing has been the BEST ever here and the gift of our last Iowa winter needs to be extended!
Nathan has kept our sidewalk the dryest and the cleanest on the street.

Do these jokers look familiar?
It was a Mall of America thing and I believe it is the most favorite surprise I have ever been presented with.
Finally BLOOMS for the Cactus
If you have followed this blog for several years, you know that year after year, I was disappointed about the Easter Cactus and how it lacked blooms. I got a Christmas one in 05. Just last week, the first week of 2008, we found this!

The HOT grandma!
So Kira and I went to the Minneapolis airport ot pick up grandma. By the time we got through the security line and to her gate, her plane was already almost all unloaded. Kira and I waited until the last person got off the plane, and no Grandma. The stewardess crew deplaned and we asked if they rememberd a "grandma" who was quite short and elderly. They totally had no recollection of such a person. We were flumoxed. Kira and I started to wander around looking for her. Then we saw her as she had already proceeded to the baggage claim (over a .8 mile walk) The crew saw when we found her and they said, "OH, you should have said you were looking for the "HOT grandma" then we would have known who you were talking about!
