UNICYCLE

As many of you know, Nathan asked Santa for a unicycle for Christmas this year. Well, I thought I should probably post some pictures and an update on how he's doing. The first few weeks were kinda dicey. Lots of tipping and falling. A few bruises and lots of marks on the walls (we're only riding it inside for now). But now he's crazy good. He can ride for 10-15 feet without falling. He'd probably go a lot farther if he had more room. I can't wait to see him try it outside. We're going to give it a shot on the first sunny/not-wet/not-snowy day (so probably sometime in May!). Can't wait!

SNOW....again!!!

Snow again!! Not a lot. Only 2-4 inches but it came on top of the snow that's been out there since last week. We were super surprised that school closed....not expecting that. But, we made the best of it. It was a pretty awesome "Snow Day"! Garrett kept saying "This is the best day ever" and "Happy Snow Day Mom". Nathan's friend Zane came over and we spent the entire morning sledding at the "Hill of Horror" down the street from our house. We are so lucky to have such a cool, safe, fun sledding hill so close to our house. Plus, I bought these super cool inflatable sleds are Target and they worked great. Maybe too good. They were going a little too fast. More than a few wipeouts. All in all...a GREAT day!

Book reports

We've been all about book reports around here the last few days. Nathan read the book HOOT and had to write a HUGE book report about it (due tomorrow!). He did a great job and he is very happy to be done. While Nathan was finishing his book report Garrett decided to do his own so he wrote a "music" book. He came up with the idea all by himself. He was half way done before I even realized he was doing it.

Quinn headed off to Mission Ridge tonight so we're hoping for snow (only east of the mountains though!).

SNOW!!!

We got about 5 inches of snow here last night. Quinn and I were both hoping it would melt off overnight so school wouldn't close! It was pretty warm so school was only delayed two hours. I'm all about American Idol tonight! YAY! I can't quite get the kids as excited about it as I am. I think I'll be watching alone - just me and my latte!
