Ski Bunnies

M and I took the kids skiing. It probably wasn't the best day for it, considering the gale force winds and snow, but we all still had a good time once we got on the mountain. It's a whole lot of gear to keep track of, though when there are 4 pairs of skis and all the warm gear etc! Next time we will have them go to a class. We figure they probably wouldn't whine as much for strangers.

Three Special Steps

Me: B, do you remember why I am buying you a toy at the store today?

B: Yes. Because I did three special steps.

Me: Not quite.

B: Oh. Well I like three specials steps better.

Do you think he has been watching a little too much TV lately? :) Those with kids who watch Disney Channel on TV will get it.

I bought B a toy at the store because he go all three's on his report card. That is the best he can get. He got all three's last term too. I do understand that is is Kindergarten, but I am still really proud of him.

Creative Outlet

I have been feeling the need to be creative lately. Here are some of the projects that I have been working on:

A dress/smock for E. I was pretty proud of myself because I made this without a pattern. Nice silly face, huh?

Hair clips. I am not sure that I really have a future in this, but it did fill my creative quota.

I made this quilt for B's kindergarten teacher. She was diagnosed with cancer again this year after having breast cancer last year. This was her Christmas present. B was really proud to give her this for Christmas.

For anyone who sews, do you have any ideas for things to make for boys? B kind of feels left out because I never make anything for him. There really just isn't anything to make for boys that isn't fru-fru or 80's looking. Oh well. I guess he'll just have to deal with it.
