The kids are growing up....

And Kristine is a senior in High School this year.

On Friday the Senior class, or the "Russ" as they are called in Norway started their celebration of 13 years of school coming to an end.  They will wear their "Russe clothes" and celebrate (party) until May 17th....
They have cards like the one in the picture to give out to friends, and younger kids will collect these cards and see who can collect the most cards...
A lot of the kids have Russe cars, or buses they drive around in and party.... Kristine decided she didn't want to spend money on a car, so she has a "russebike"  I am so pleased with her decision! Since she doesn't drink she has been asked to drive one of the cars for some friends, so Friday night she was driving them around after their "Russe christening". 
As you can see in the pictures she has done a bit of painting on her russepants.  She loves to draw and paint, so she has been decorating her friend's pants as well :-) A nice way to make a bit of money....
I hope she has a fun and safe time, right now she'll be joining me at Ola's soccergame, and she is bringing lots of her cards to share with all the kids.
Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day!

  3. Lykke til med russen i familien!
    Her hadde vi en slik i fjor, og hun var heller ikke på bil eller buss. Det koster for mye. De kan ha mye moro likevel!
    Så flink dattera di er til å tegne/male! Kanskje hun utdanner seg i den retning...? Kunstnerspire ;-)

    She sounds like a daughter to be proud of, and as her parents you should be pleased with how your guidance & support has shaped her.
