Girls Ski Day aka Tricia's Birthday Week!

I love Girls Ski Day. I was especially looking forward to it this year to ski without children. So glad that my kids ski BUT to ski a day with no children is such a joy. When all you have to worry about is one set of ski gear rather than four sets of ski gear.

However my friends do act like children at times too. Given the fact that we are all over talkers. We would willingly stop in the middle of ski runs to chat FOREVER. I think secretly some legs were screaming for breaks so to break it up we would stop and chat about the most random topics. For example, Rachel filled us in on the latest and greatest face cream on the market. I seemed to have a piece of toast in my helmet and had to stop and get all the crumbs out of my hair. At this point we stopped and cobble squated right smack dab in the middle of a run. Ski Patrol came up and asked if someone was injured. Oh no, we are just chatting about who knows what???

We then had ski patrol following us for a bit either out of boredom or just the simple fact that we are a bunch of hot mommas!

Then Liz was the leader on the last run and took us through the park where we screamed and jumped off stuff that we had no business doing. It was the end of the ski day, my knees were so mad at me.

Needless to say we had a blast and got to eat fabulous food and pee is fabulous bathrooms. So not my typical ski day which is normally Top Ramen noodles and peeing in a cement cave with  no heat. Both cases I will gladly take given the fact that I am skiing in the great outdoors!

Thanks to my sponsor Mrs. Wallace for the buddy pass!

Nellie Mae aka Neil

My Nellie Mae is growing up so fast. Just this week she wrote her name all by herself and can cut on the lines. For her music class she was cutting out her puppets and doing such a great job. I gave her a nice compliment and told her what a good "cutter" she was. I then ventured upstairs as I was on the phone with my Sister. Later I come downstairs to find Nellie had cut all three piggy tails of hair right off her head. I would say about 1 - 2 inches off each piggy, right off! She had a piggy on top of her head and one just behind each ear, all cut right off. She then went the extra mile and cut above each ear, because mullets are all the rage these days.

This did not seam to bother her one bit. Me as a mother was just a wee bit upset being the fact that she is 4 years old and as it is has little to no hair to begin with. Oh, my sweet Nellsters. She seems to not be upset at all by this incident. However, since that day has been on suicide watch. She seriously has to have 24/7 supervision.  Rich was "watching" her one day and she took off to the neighbors, no where to be found. He circled the neighborhood in the car trying to find her. I took her to Hobby Lobby just yesterday and she went to "find a treat" all on herself. Took me a good five minutes to find her shopping with not one care in the world.  I take her to a church activity at the church and she walked home bare foot without any of us knowing where to find her. We searched the church for twenty minutes, that was a bit scary.  I fear she is going to walk out of my house in the middle of the night. Wow, she keeps us on our toes and this is why I only have three children!

The END!
