Sledding

While we didn't have a white Christmas, we did start getting snow the day after Christmas.  Is has been a very light snow, more on than off, for the past couple of days.  Plus it has been bitterly cold (lows in the single digits, highs in the mid-upper 20s), so the snow is sticking.  As you can see from the pictures, there isn't much, but it was enough to take a few rides on the sled.  
The kids and I went over to the golf course today and got to sled on some fresh snow.  Apparently, we chose a great spot, as the other spot we scoped out turned out to be a muddy mess.  As we were hanging out at the lake, wrapping things up and getting ready for lunch, the teenagers were just heading out, so our timing was great too.  Ryan wanted to bring his dump truck and had a ton of fun with that.  Kaity really wanted to see if the lake was all ice, but I am no fun and made her stay pretty far back.  It was beautifully covered with snow and a sight like that was a first for all three of us.  If you have a couple minutes, please check out the pictures in the slideshow below.  There are some pretty cute ones in there.  It is forecast to snow this light off and on snow for the next few days, so hopefully there will be more sledding fun in our near future.

What's Your Name?

Kaitlyn has been really into ballet again after a 2 year hiatus and was having an open rehearsal before her 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00 performances.  She walked over to her "audience" and started a conversation with a stunningly handsome blue-eyed boy who caught her eye.

Kaitlyn the Ballerina:  What's your name?
Ryan:  Ryan
Kaitlyn:  What's your in trouble name?
Ryan:  Ryan Travis Maclin

Obviously, this got a giggle from us and we thought you would get one too.  :)

Feeling the Love




This morning I was helping Kaity condition her hair and she wanted me to dry her off and do her lotion. We were talking through this process about nothing in particular, and this is where the conversation went.

Kaitlyn (who keeps asking for Hello Kitty panties b/c they are her favorite, though she has a lot): I don't need any more Hello Kitty panties Mommy.

Me: Why is that?

Kaitlyn: Because I have enough already.

Me: True

Kaitlyn: I don't need any more love either, because I have enough of that already too. You give me so much I already have all I need.

Talk about warming my heart. Oh, and just so ya know, I'm not gonna stop givin' the love sister. It's the gift that keeps on giving. Gosh I love this girl!
