End of the Season

Waiting for Jeff to get back with the lunch and watching the "Skim Pond" competition. It wasn't very exciting this year.
It's always more fun to try to get Jack to look at the camera. He isn't known for multitasking.
Lachlan's turns are getting so tight. She can cut through the trees with me if it is tracked out.
I always have a bittersweet feeling about the last ski day of the season. It is hard to see it go, but I am so weary of the cold weather. I have to say that it felt so wonderful to have a regular ski day this year. I loved seeing the progress that we are all making together--at least in terms of how we can keep up with Jeff.

Pot O' Gold

With the dawning of St. Patrick's Day I just couldn't take one more question about leprechauns. Lachlan is obsessed with leprechauns. I had drawn pictures, re-enacted leprechauns hiding and dancing, told stories about their pointy ears and long creepy fingers, decorated the house and delivered golden coins. And STILL, it wasn't enough! She wanted to see, hold, feel and ultimately, capture her own leprechaun.

I finally said, okay, I know where some hide out.

At first dam.

And, truthfully, I have seen some very troll-like individuals hanging out there in the early spring sunshine.

So I bought a couple of Happy Meals and gave them a big "leprechaun-catching" net.
We came home empty-handed, but no one got eaten by a goose and we were not accosted by the troll people.

The End.

Valentine's Cake

Buntings are all the rage on craft blogs. It was inevitable that I would give in to the madness. This is Sara's birthday cake. It was so easy.
I love cake.
