I must still be a kid....

Camille was excited about going bye-bye this morning. We were supposed to leave at 9:30, but we left after 10:30. And, we went the extra extra long way because I read the directions wrong. oops.
Camille sat next to Idar (pronounced EEEdar).....she likes him.

Charlotte Claire at the museum.
Here is Camille with Caroline, one of our guests.



Suzanne and Camille






Jonathan....Abigail in the background, and Idar.


Does Jonathan look happy, or what?








Margaret and Kathryn like Dance Dance Revolution.







The kid-sized grocery store....here is Charlotte Claire








Jonathan got to run the register









I think Caroline had just as much fun as Camille.







Sonja got a turn being cashier.












Camille could've played here all day.
















She carried her receipts around for a while.









Even Evelyn liked being cashier.





Camille








Once again, does Jonathan look happy, or what? Elmo and Cookie Monster are in the back seat in carseats....












Camille also could've stayed HERE all day.






Suzanne in the old-fashioned kitchen....












Jon pumping water in the sink...or pretending to.










Sonja Kathleen










Kathryn, Charlotte Claire, Evelyn, and Caroline

















Camille can dance! And look at Jon go!













Camille, Stine, and Caroline.















Kathryn, the Lego Knight (made out of thousands of Legos), and Stine.














Jonathan in the pumpkin coach.


















Camille was SO tired, it was right in the middle of nap time, that she almost fell asleep in the Three Bears Cottage....











She covered Evelyn up nicely.

















Charlotte Claire took a nice rest, too.





Charlotte Claire made a crown!

























Stine is Miss Norway 2010, and Margaret is Miss Universe...






Ten of my children went to the museum with me today. (Every one except Emily, Benjamin, Mariel, Joseph, Aaron, and Mali)....and our four guests, Caroline, Tor-Henning, Stine, and Idar.




So the barbecued pork that I had in the crockpot was not done enough for dinner, so Mirielle so nicely made roasted chicken, alfredo sauce, linguine and whole wheat pasta, and some tomato sauce with hot sausage. And broccoli and green beans. For the 21 of us, since Ben wasn't here for dinner. I made up a huge batch of brownies quick (like I said, boxed brownies are one of the miracles of our time), we served them hot with ice cream. And then 13 of them went out the door to the youth meeting. Now Paul and I have tired kids to put to bed....and here I sit....more later....

wow this looks awesome!!! It's so funny (well not funny, but "interesting") to read "ten of my kids" or "13 went out the door" it's truly AMAZING. Also I see alot of the girls have similar face structure as your husband. It's amazing seeing the many different combinations that two people could make as far as how their children look. You and your family are beautiful!

That must be the Strong Museum. I'm not sure there are two like that around here.
