Hitting the Slopes

It was frigid and the winds were whippin' yesterday, so today was our one and only day for skiing.  Boo!  It was still super duper cold, but the winds weren't as bad today, and the sun was mostly shining.  Aiden refused a lesson, so skied he with me in the morning.

We stopped for a break, which may have been a mistake, because I couldn't get him back out after.....

No pictures - talk to the hand, Mom.

This little trouper made it nearly all the way through her all-day lesson.  It got pretty cold and windy after lunch, so I pulled her from the lesson an hour before it ended.  She skied the longest of all the kids AND many of the adults.

Her smile is infectious!  xoxo

Double trouble!

Liam turned 3 on Wednesday and Joe Joe turns 5 in a couple weeks, so we had some birthdays to celebrate this weekend!!

Sugarloaf Weekend

Our annual ski trip up to Sugarloaf was nearly cancelled due to bad weather expectations up North (despite the sun shiney day here in Massachusetts).  Bree came down the stairs this morning, dressed like spring, hoping that her outfit would change the weather and allow her to see her beloved cousins.

It worked!  The weather was mostly okay, except for maybe the last 20-30 minutes of the drive.

Star struck!

My Favorite Valentines

Lego Drop-In

Daddy took the kiddos to the library this afternoon for the Lego Drop In.  This is Bree's castle creation.

Sugar Monster

Many thanks to all the parents who blatantly disregarded the school's rule about no candy with the Valentines.  Especially the parent who introduced Aiden to Fun Dip...... Gross!

Valentines or Halloween??  You be the judge.

Looks like he's oozing green.  Not to worry - it's just colored bath fizz.
