And we're back.

After a bit of a hiatus I'm attempting this again.  Over the past year we have done a lot of things.  C had a successful 2 weeks away at camp & I survived.  It was harder than I thought having him away, mainly missing him at night.  We went on our annual summer trip with Grandma to Blue Mountain.  What a fabulous place.  C loved the low ropes course and even ventured up onto the higher level.  Next year we'll get A onto them.  We did the mountain coaster, mini putt, hiked up the ski hill and swam to our hearts content.

Summer ended and the boys headed off for another year at school.  C is in a 2/3 split class which hopefully will challenge his mind.  He is such a smart kid. I bought a pair of "bouncy bands" for his desk to help with his need to move constantly and they are a huge success.  Every desk should have one!  A is in SK this year, he's growing up so fast.  He has many friends and the girls are lined up to marry him!

Christmas came & went - I picked up an overtime shift on Christmas eve because the boys were to be with their dad.  Instead they ended up staying here, so I got to see them Christmas morning after all.  I made my first ever turkey dinner, complete with stuffing and a home made cheese cake.  I did very well if I do say so myself.  All thanks to pinterest!

This winter has been a weird one.  First we have snow, then it melts, then it's freezing, then warm again.  Needless to say we haven't had much skiing opportunities.  The kids did get out for a day of skiing on a PA day. A learned how to ski on his own and he even rode the chair lift!  C continued to excel on the slopes.  Me on the other hand realized how long it's been since I used my leg muscles!! 

Fast forward to today... March 9th.   I've had C home now for 2 days with a fever and cough.  Fingers are crossed that he doesn't end up with strep throat.  Lots of illness is going around the school.  March break starts for us tomorrow at noon.  Can't wait for the break!

That's all for today.  Thanks for stopping by.
