The best way of WANTING the kids to go to school is to give them a couple of weeks off without anything to do!! My kids are begging for the school to start on Monday. They are just hanging around, watching tv, using the computer, sleeping, doing NOTHING!! Because they cannot go to the shopping, movie or soccer training.
Anniken is hanging out in restaurants in the evenings. The other night her friends made a surprise Birthday for her :-) and yesterday they had farewell dinner for Nina.
Some Brazilian schools have already decided to prolong the delay untill Sept 1st. We are waiting for what PanAmerican will do and hoping they are sensible enough to start on Monday. The problem is that they have to follow certain guidelines. And if the guidelines says Sept 1st and we start Aug 17 and one of our students get seriously ill, we can be sued. And to be sued the American way is NOT FUN!
I try to get in shape after a too nice vacation. I was running a lot the 2 first weeks in Norway, but the 2/3 last ones got too difficult and it's scary how fast I loose track. I can hardly run any more. So I try and try, but almost kill myself every time. I have scheduled a small surgery the 21st for a small cyste (fettkul) on the stomac which will set me out of exercice another couple of weeks again, so I cannot see why I really bother ???? Maybe because I have a serious fight against 3 extra kilos?
The knitting club started up again and we are planning a girl's spa-week-end in Gramado in September :-)
2 new Israelian families has arrived. One family has a girl in Anniken's class and a boy in Sondre's class - what a great co-incident :-) so we will go out for a pizza with them tonight to get to know them better!
And when I'm not cooking or driving the kids I'm sitting in front of the computer dreaming of all the places we are not travelling to and all the houses we are not buying.
What a life - PLEASE SCHOOL START UP AGAIN!!!!!

And here I am,in the norwegian mountains; no kids, no scheedules, not much sunshine, not very warm or cold, only me and my long walkings every day. Tomorrow I will go to Sulebu, a little cottage deep into the mountain- about 2 miles away. The norwegian summerlight is still going strong, darkness arrives at 10 pm. And my extra kilos I will not talk about!!
KOS dere
Mum, grandma and Vibeke
Nice to have your blog alive again. (i know mine is not so active anymore). Hope your kids (and you too) will get along well with the new israelis. speaking of coincidences, one of the israeli girls studied with me in the university. Haven't been in touch with her for year, only lately found out that her husband works with Dagan(:
Hope school starts soon!
bjs.
