Nothing is new here, but I haven't posted in a while. I thought I would post some pics of some of the few things that we've done. Most of you have seen these on my facebook account. I don't know about you all, but this time of year is the worst. I desperately want to get some sun. I was looking at Charlie and Ashley the other day and they are transparent. Do you remember that book "Flowers in the Attic"? It reminds me of what my kids look like.
A couple of weeks ago, we went to our friends amazing cabin in Invermere. It was so cold, but we had a great time. The boys skated on the lake and we watched all these guys ice fishing. I don't get it. They make these little huts, cut a hole in the ice and just sit there. Most of them have cameras that they send down and they sit in their trucks and watch and wait for a fish to take a nibble. Where's the sport in that? There were tons of these guys out there. Anyway, how Canadian can you get?
This is Charlie and his little buddy, Alex.
Peter and I thought that it would be great to have a rink in our back yard. I thought, Yeah. We'll just take the hose and spray it all down and we'll be skating in no time. Well, that was about 4 weeks ago and it's still not ready. Mostly in part to our uneven, slanting backyard and to the uneven weather. I tell you, there is science in ice-making. Next year we'll have the best ice, I'll see to it.
Anyway, I can't wait for Spring and Summer. I just want to be outside. I want to send the kids out in shorts and a t-shirt. I want to be at our cabin on the water when it's scorching outside........is that too much to ask for?
In the mean time, we're looking forward to having a play-date with Caitlin, Meaghan and Laura on Monday. We're going to make felt hair clips and the cupcake pops from the bakerella.blogspot.com website. If you haven't checked this out, you should. This girl is so creative. I love the cupcake pops she did for Halloween.
I also found a company that you can publish your blogs on. It's called blurb.com. You can have your blog printed into a bookstore-quality book and have it shipped to you. I'm definitely going to do it. It would be nice to have a hard copy of all my old posts.
