Lazy Weekend...Sloppy Sledding

-
So on a lighter note...**sigh**

We had a nice LAZY weekend... seems like I am having lots of LAZY days of late...

We did NOTHING... around the house... we did manage to get out & do some sloppy sledding...

WET... WET... WET... the weather was between snow & rain... but we figured we better get out & sled while we could...
(Dane ended up sick & home from school yesterday...maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all...)



















LadyFi has published volume 2 of the Strange Shores expats blog carnival. and I was given a super sweet shout out on... so if you are interested in reading about ex pats life abroad
go on over & check it out...
Finally please keep my sup-ah star friend Kat in your prayers... Sunshine and Lemonade Many of you know that Kat's husband, Michael, had an aneurysm this weekend... please go give her some love-n... you know she needs all of the strength she can muster right now...
Gotta run get the kids up & off to work... (is it Friday yet?) Sorry I missed Mortified Monday yesterday...eek... but I have some doozies (just so many moments in my life where I wish I could crawl into a hole....)

Sledding looks like fun. I wish it would snow here.

My kids loved sledding up in Maine. The youngest keeps hoping it will snow here, but so far no luck. Hope Dane is feeling better.

We haven't had any snow to even go sledding. Colorado has been dry as a bone! Looks like you all had fun and I hope Dane feels better soon.

The most important thing to remember in sledding is to find an already plowed hill...I've gone out to the hills next to the house here with the best intentions to sled for hours and hours. Sat down carefully hoping not to start sliding down before I got perfectly positioned on my sled...and once in position I waited to move...but nuttin...the snow was so deep I didn't go anywhere. Tried to scoot along for awhile but again NUTTIN....so the best is really a pre-plowed snow hill...my humble and embarrassing advice...hahahaha...

Once you scoot down it you make a trail, and then you can reuse that trail, make it curvey and stuff too. This makes me want to go sledding, or rather saucering. Every winter the bf and I say we'll do and and never do. Tons and tons of snow, just need to find some good hills around town. That's the thing about kids, they get you doing that kind of stuff.

Just send a little snow this way k? We only need a little. If we get too much the people here may perish from the paralyzation that snow seems to do here. But I want at least a day of fun! :)

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
