On Fridays at the university cafeteria, it's grøt day.  Dave invited me for lunch.

For 29 kroner, you get a huge bowl of grøt (kind of like really rich rice pudding) and a cup of juice.   From Øyvind I learned that the tradition when he was growing up was 1) on Saturdays, it was always grøt for lunch and 2) on Tuesdays, it was pancakes.  For dinner.  Wrapped around jam and bacon.  

As you can tell, Dave is looking forward to his grøt.

Katie joined me to pick up Isaac at his barnehage.  As we were heading out of our neighborhood, we spotted a beautiful rainbow.

Scooting in the rain along the Nidelva

My colorful super scooter.  Thanks to good neighbors (who lent the scooter) and fellow Americans in Trondheim (who lent the helmet).

Almost to Isaac's school 

Best accessory for a stroller in Trondheim - a rain cover

After we picked up Isaac, Katie took a tumble on the scooter.  A curb was obscured by a big puddle, and Katie's knee took a big shot to the concrete. 

No broken bones - back to scooting

On the way home, we watched some university students test their homemade bathtub boat in the river.  On Saturday, Dave saw the big event going down.  All bathtub boats, relay racing in the river. 

It was the first day of autumn.  You can start to see the autumn colors showing. 

Dave made a toasty fire in the wood stove, and then popped some corn in the side heater.

It was the best popcorn ever!

Isaac's two favorite Norwegian phrases: takk for mat (thanks for the food) and komme og spise (come and eat). 

Sam has become quite the expert at creating things with paper.  Last night, he created a Clone Trooper uniform.  This morning, he made helmets for all the kids, so they could join him as Clone Troopers.
