Sledding

All of the kids were so excited to be at the top of the hill. They had their carefully engineered sleds. They had their helmets. They had their dreams….. Ready….Set….Go…….um, yeah. We need to use more duct tape next year. lol Most sleds didn’t “go” as much as they were dragged down the hill on the first run.

They were pushed down the hill. They rolled down the hill. They skated down the hill. Only one sled (made by a group of girls) made it down with just a push. It went fast! It was so much fun! I thought we were going to go off the jump, but I was stuck in the middle and couldn’t bail out. The sleds started falling apart so the kids were just grabbing pieces and taking off down the hill after the first run.

Hanging in there…

I’m still sick. I feel much better after spending a day outside in the fresh air. I have pictures and I’ll try to update about that later. Tonight, I’m just too tired to sort and make sure I don’t show any of my kids faces. I hope everyone is doing better than me. For now….

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I can’t believe all of the things we have gone through in 16 years. I’ve known you longer than I have not known you. You passed BFF status so long ago and became my sister. I love you!! (and I love that we are still such dorks together) No middle school picture, but only because I don’t have a scanner. Here’s one from a couple of weeks ago….(sorry, KT, I cropped. I love you, too. It’s just not our anniversary.)
