First Day, First Blog Entry!

Exciting, Thrilling, trying to Blog for the first time ever! I am excited to have a place to enter the thoughts that randomly run through my mind. Some, however, seem to run straight through as if they're in the 100 yrd dash, without stopping to take time to grow! I guess that is what having 4 and 1/2 children can do to a once never forgetting, always thinking 10 steps ahead mind!


Dear Reader, you will hopefully find a place to relax for 15 seconds, let's be honest that is how long every mother has to herself most days, read a humorous quote of the day, provided for me by my every growing, always eating, forever calling "Mom, Where are you?" beautiful children!

Some days you may find a few entries that will have sporadic Norwegian words throughout. My dear in-laws are living in Norway, so this blog will also serve as way for them to see their much missed barnebarn!

So hopefully I'll be able to add a photo with each entry to keep things fun and fresh. So here is the story of the day:

Last night before the children were wrestled off to bed, Kenneth my dear husband, discovered 2 male beetles in the course of a battle! We know they were male because Spencer, my dear 10 yr old & animal planet guru, said only males fight, and they were fighting for 1 of 3 things. Territory, Mates, and Protecting their Young! And since it was Summer, it must be for territory because they only fight for mates in the Spring!





So there is my story for the day. May tomorrow bring more smiles and laughs as we keep enjoying our summer holidays!




Here is a photo I found of my all-knowing when it comes to any animal query Spencer!
