On the ice

This is kind of late since we no longer have snow. But this snow just melted a couple of weeks ago. And in fact, it turned to ice. It got so cold after it snowed and it had rained and everything was just pure ice. AND that made for FAST sledding. It was awesome watching the kids try different 'things' to sled on. And no matter what they used IT WORKED. Items used to sled in our front yard were

pizza boxes---yep they worked
sleeping bags
sleds...ofcourse
wood
laundry baskets
plastic bags

I thought the wood topped them all. I had to get the camera out when I saw Ethan and Mayah working together to carry their homemade wooden sled. Now that is teamwork. I even went down a few times.....but I used the sled....and Mayah and I ended up going almost to the road. It was fun.

I do have to say,though, that I am sooooooooooo glad the sun has made an appearance. I am overly ready for spring.

Today I thought about the garden we would plant. Then I got sad and realized my dad won't be around to help with all my questions. But I can do this. I will PROVE to myself that I can plant a wonderful garden.........and then have the kids weed it. :)
