Trying to catch up

It has been too long since I posted an update. I have had great intentions, but just haven't got there. There are a few things I would love to do.
1. Post a card or scrapbook page that I made weekly.
2. Post five fabulous finds (like on a friday maybe).
3. Post one funny story about my children weekly.
4. Post my thoughts about a book I have read (this will not be weekly!!).
5. Post anything I want.

So, let me post a funny story about my children. We went skiing again (actually the third time). Of course my DS LOVES it and could go all day if you let him. DD2 passed the class the second time and was able to end the day by going up the tow rope herself. She was so excited. So, DD1 still has not been down the big hill. We told her she could stop after her 3rd lesson and that she was so close to passing. She agreed to five it one more try.

Everytime she went down the practice hill and did exactly what they told her to do, she would ask, "Can I go down the big hill now?" Finally with about 15 minutes left of the lesson, she was ready to go down the big hill at last!! She went up the tow rope and down the big hill with instructor Jim. At the bottom of the hill she skied over and said, "Okay, I went down the big hill, can I stop now?" I told her to go again, Jim was waiting for her. He talked her into going again. She did so well. So after the second run, she asked again if she could stop. Clair, another instructor, said grabbed DD1 and took her up the slope. They came down and she skied over once again. Sshe asked again to stop. Given it was past lunch time and all three kids had not eaten, I said yes. I asked her, wasn't that fun? She replied, "not so much!" Everyone around us just started laughing.

The funniest thing - this is just such a DD1 comment. She just says the most funny things.
