Winter Is

 
Winter Is...
 
 

 
Naps on the couch
 
 
Good Reads.
With leaves for bookmarkers.
 
 
Lots of light saboring.
 
 
 
Snow Forts.
 
 
 
Dogs pulling a sled 200 miles.
 
 
And the musher behind them.
 
 
Coats zipped up to our eyeballs
 
 
Frozen Face.
Seriously, his face was frozen.

 
 
 Skiing

 

Falling down while skiing

 
 
Success! while skiing.
 
 
 
Lot's of yelling, "Do the pizza!!!" at skiing children.
 
 
Together.

      Skiing with small children is a bit like camping with small children always seems like a good idea.... ;) We do have a good time, it's just exhausting at the same time. I know you know about this. :) Glad you're feeling better Heidi. I always apprecite you stopping by...

    My husband didn't grow up skiing (he's only been three times, I think), so we most likely won't make it a family sport. Our kids haven't ever skied yet, but I can imagine it's not so easy. :) I think I started skiing when I was 10, so I wasn't really young, but it came fairly easy to me...not saying that I liked it, but I was good at it. Ha! What I REALLY LIKED was going inside for hot chocolate. :)
    Thank you! I'm glad I'm feeling better too. SOO nice to have energy again. Enjoy your evening!

Never Too Late for Friday Favs!

Yes, I know it's Sat. It's actually lateish Sat. evening. FridayFavs are actually supposed to be posted on Friday. Which is not today. Obviously. Oh, time management we have already decided you are one of my greatest foes. However, since the past couple of weeks have been, well pretty wonderful I thought I would share in more of the fun and favorite things we did together. These here are some of our Favs from when the laundry fairy (AKA Nana) was still in town.  Making sweet treats     And a Pinata And just for the record Pinatas are hard to make. It is a project that takes about a week. Not 2 or 3 days Unless you live in the South and can put it outside to dry in Oct.     Best. Dad. Ever.     Ironman. Meg (from Little Women). And a pirate, of course. I love them all. Well, the children dressed up as them anyway.     Yup. This here is the...

Overwhelmed

It has been a long while hasn't it dear friends? A forced sabbatical of sorts. More like me not really knowing how to manage time properly. Or perhaps it is the sheer thought of putting pen to paper or typing out what is really going on that is just so very overwhelming that really, the thought of it all gives me writers block.  Where to start? What to say? And does anyone really care. Thing is, I don't really know. Seriously, I don't know an answer to any of those questions. And maybe there are just parts of our life that I want to keep off of this blogosphere...or maybe not. Again, I just don't know. I keep thinking that it is going to come to me. That I will know exactly what to write and how to explain why in the world we would take in three foster children while having four of our own. My sister teases me by saying that I will turn out to be the old woman who lived in a shoe. If I believed in modern prophecy, I would call her a prophetess. No, I don't live ...

Raising Pretenders

Meandering the choppy waters of parenting a teen is new and confounding at times. It humbles and shakes up my days. It is also a blessing. Yes! I just said blessing and teen together. I had hoped and hoped and prayed that our teens would know that we are on their side, that we are not their advisory. It is such a scary, scary time in parenting isn't it? These children figure out they have brains of their own and they want to use them to do things like think and have their own opinion. It's so very hard to know when to push and when to let it slide. It might be more like parenting a toddler than we would like to admit most of the time. And yet, there is something very sweet here. I realize that this is not every ones experience. It will not be ours with every child. Of that I am almost certain. I'm not saying this to brag or put anyone else into what I like to call, "a fog of comparison." It is not some formula like a chemistry experiment so please, PLEASE d...
