Wacky Wednesday & Thump it Thursday

I say wacky because... We kept the kids home from school and all went skiing. *blush* That doesn't make us naughty parents does it???

Well, after a hectic morning of gathering snow clothes, skis and all the other crap necessary. Chasing kids, brushing teeth, finding socks. GAH! It was wild. Really. We made it to the freeway and were just settling down for the ride, when all the traffic stops. STOPS! We sat there for almost an hour. ( So much for being on time, right? ) There was an accident. We had to wait. The kids got ferocious. Seriously. They were bouncing with energy already!

We finally got there and got the kids into class an hour late...and hit the slopes. It was beautiful up there. The sun was shining. The wind wasn't blowing like usual...and the snow was pretty dang good! We met the kids for lunch and all took off together. All in all it was a day made of AWESOME!!! Ellie is a speed demon, though. She was chasing down Sam and doing JUMPS!!!

Katie is little miss cautious, and Riley has a hard time keeping his skis on. It was fun and I can't wait to do it again!!!

So, needless to say...the laundry was piled to the ceiling, and I had a CPR class today. So I got to thump a mannequin half to death and re-learn some valuable skills today!

HOW FUN! I agree w/ Kathy, that makes you a great parent. I think more parents need to take time out of daily routines to spend family time like this.

What great memories you are giving your kids! The thump it was too funny. I was waiting to hear about some project you beat down. Hee, hee.
