Comments

After using this blog for 6 months, I finally figured out how to enable comments. All you have to do is click on "0 comments" at the end of the post and it will bring up a pop up box that you can type your comment into. You don't have to be registared with blogspot or anything either.

There isn't much going on here today. Yesterday we went sledding again...the snow was more packed and boy did Ethan fly! I had to stand at the bottom of the hill to catch him because the first 2 times he flew into the sewer ditch and flung off the sled. If you watched the video from teh other day, he was flying all the way down to where the bush looking things are - which is where the sewer opening is. Bill was sledding too, and hit his butt a few times...I'm sure he'll be sore today. Ethan must have ran up the hill at least 20 times.

I hope that they aren't goign to have anymore snow/cold weather days this week. Ethan is so ready to go back to school, he misses his friends. I drove to the mail box yesterday though, and it was scary coming back down the hill. I'm glad that I don't have anywhere I have to go. I really don't think the Neon would do well at all on this hill in the snow.


This is perhaps the scariest picture of Ethan ever LOL One of his new summer outfits came in the mail yesterday, so I had him try it on. This is how he posed in it....scary!!! The outfit is cute though, the shirt is a size 5!! I think it runs small, but dang, last year he was in 3s all summer. I'm pretty sure he won't outgrow 4s until next fall..he's not usually a fast grower.

Dashing Through the Snow



Mr. Ethan had 3 snow days this week...for about 3 inches of snow. I'd like to believe that it was also due to the cold, because it just seems silly to me. Yesterday he helped me shovel for about 2 seconds, and then hit the hill in our front yard for some sledding. I think he only went up and down like 5 times, but he had fun :) It was really cold, so hopefully we'll have a day not so cold before the snow melts that he can go back out again. We must have the best sledding hill, because the neighbor kids came over to sled last night too.

Ice Crawling...Er...Skating


The day after Christmas we went with Scott & Heather to ice skate. Ethan was "super much" excited...until he got on the ice. I guess he didn't realize it was going to be so slippery. The first lap around probably took him about 10 minutes, and he mostly held onto Scott for dear life.
The second lap around he used a guide thing, the name of it is escaping me at the moment, but with it he could effectively "walk" on the ice. About half way through, Scott & Heather started skating faster than he could and he got mad and tried to crawl on his knees. That did not last long, as his knees got cold and then he quit. When he got off the ice, he informed me that he was done skating FOREVER! My feet hurt too after 2 laps so I didn't argue with him. lol.
