Another wonderful party! Your boys have amazing memories of their time in Norway, I think. :)

Doesn't surprise me that the girls are startng to swarm, Heidi. Your Christopher, he is a cutie with charm to spare.

This is so bittersweet, your happy/sad wrap-up. But that's lovely to have those mementos from his Norwegian friends. I'm sure he'll be only too pleased to show these and share his experiences with his buddies back in the 'hood.

That sounds like a big day! You must have slept well that night.

Oh, those poor little cute Norwegian girls. They will be pining for your handsome foreign boy all their lives!

How sweet! From your accounts of life in Norway, it's hard to believe you've been there only 10 months. It seems as if you all fit in so well!

If I could send my kids to such a wonderful school where the kids seems to care so much about each other, I probably wouldn't be homeschooling. What a nice party for Christopher's last day.

I'm not surprised that he is popular with the girls-they have good taste.

It sounds like it was a great party. Glad that they each got their own special "goodbye" from their classes.

What is a nacho pizza? I'm intrigued.

Oh, it is so sad that you are leaving! Do you think you'll keep blogging once you are back in Canada?

Not only did you provide an unbelievable opportunity for them, but you must be so proud to have raised two great kids that are able to make such a positive impression on their classes in such a short amount of time. Yay you:)

2008-04-28T17:03:00.000+02:00

Aw.
It's sad, but it's also wonderful to hear how much they all liked him. He sounds like a great kid.

Sniff I hate goodbyes. This is sad.

Okay, I just have to say that it just HAS to be the Norwegian stoicism that, thankfully, kept you from blubbering through the whole party :)! I can say this, because I know that there are times it is ONLY because of my "Norwegian part" that I'm able to hold back the tears!

Isn't it amazing how Christopher just seems to adapt so seamlessly? And I'm betting that he has definitely noticed the cute girls noticing HIM; he's just keeping it quiet as he weighs his options. Hehehe. Gee, I'll bet that made you feel much better, huh? From the sounds of things, you better get used to it, because both C and B-Boy are sure to have LOTS of female attention :)!

I am so, so happy how wonderfully this experience has turned out for both of your boys, and how it will help shape the adults they will become. I think you and Mike need to give yourselves a pat on the back...seriously!!!

And we call it pop here in MN, too!

2008-04-28T16:28:00.000+02:00

You are a rockin' Mom! Sounds like things are wrapping up on such positive notes. I too feel a bit weepy for you though.
and My Ice Cream Diary? yep, up here in Canada we call it pop too.

Nice!

2008-04-28T16:11:00.000+02:00

Nice!

2008-04-28T16:10:00.000+02:00

Ok, I can't help but notice you call it "pop". Is that a Canadian thing? I grew up calling it pop in Idaho and was teased mercilessly for it when I moved to NY.

Sounds like a wonderful party and you sound like super mom (right down to the chocolate frosting denial). I hope these good feelings follow your son and give him the confidence he'll need back in Canada.

Lovely post, even made me a bit teary.

I seriously doubt he even noticed the girls, except perhaps as irritants. :-)

2008-04-28T15:17:00.000+02:00

You are such a great mom, helping make these last days extra special for each of your boys!
I bet you don't have much longer before C will start noticing those girls!

I have a feeling that B is going to have a lot of Norweigan pen pals next year.
