All by myself!

This past week was spring break. Last sunday we got dumped with about a foot of snow in one day. Some spring.

But I digress. The kids were excited about all the snow, and since they had so much time, wanted to go sledding. (well actually, Grace was very enthusiastic, Reese was complaining about going, and Cameron was along for whatever we were going to do) Now, you have to remember I have not taken all the kids someplace since getting pregnant and sick. Going someplace by choice instead of necessity is a fairly recent occurrence.
But I took them all out sledding for three days in a row! Even though there was whining every time from someone (except Grace.... she sure loves sledding!) I did it! I was very excited for myself for making the effort... we gotta celebrate the little miracles, right?
The kids did some sled-boarding, ramp-aiming, and body sledding, and generally had an awesome time. Look at that air! Reese said it really hurt to land, but he kept aiming for it, so I guess it was worth it. The last day the snow had melted enough it was pretty slushy and they all got soaked through, but I finally remembered and managed to take some pictures. There were a few crashes that halted the fun for a few moments, but they were tough. I thought it looked fun, but it wore me out enough just taking them out, let alone trudging up and down that slick hill. Plus I think sledding might sometimes count as a contact sport to avoid when you're six months pregnant.
