Wednesday, December 30th – Sunday, January 3rd, 2010
Wednesday – I worked from home on Wednesday. I slipped off our step Tuesday morning and landed with my toes under my foot. It really hurt! By the end of Tuesday it was pretty swollen and hurting quite a bit. S did a power ice on it for 15 minutes that night with a bag of ice strapped to my foot. It was still hurting by Wed. morning and was kind of purple so I decided to work from home so I could keep it up all day. I got a lot done and it was good to keep my foot up. We packed up around 5 and headed out around 6pm. We stopped at REI to pick up our CC ski’s that we were having waxed. We were good and had sandwiches at home before we left. H fell asleep in the car. He had a tough day. He went to the Doctor to get a huge wart burned off his hand and it really hurt him. He started crying pretty hard and it took him awhile to calm down.
Thursday – The boys slept in…yeah! S made Egg McMuffins for breakfast and we had a relaxing morning. We all went sledding in our yard which was fun. You have to watch out for several trees and for the snow woman on the way down. After sledding we had lunch and played games. S and I played chess where I won again. 
S made a nice dinner of ham, beans, and red potatoes. We had ice cream for dessert which was what H had requested – Strawberry ice cream. We played my new game of Blokus which the boys like too. S and I watched Inglorius Bastards right up until midnight and we heard the neighbors ringing in the new year with fire works and the clanging of pots and pans. Happy New Year!
Friday – Happy Birthday, H and Happy 2010! We woke up early and H opened his presents. He said his hands looked bigger for being 5 years old. He was very happy to get a Star Wars DS game and Batman castle and Batmobile car with all the characters. We had breakfast at the Mountain Springs Lodge and then went on a 2 hour Snowmobile tour! We had so much fun. H started off behind S and G was behind me. After the first break we switched the boys because S said H was having trouble holding on to S’s waist. We then switched again because G said he was getting “dizzy” riding with S because he was going “so fast”! Then on the 3rd break the tour leader said I was going too slow and wanted me to go directly behind him because it may help me go faster! So that is what we did and I did go faster! The curves made me a little nervous but I got more used to them. G started to loosen up and was yelling “yeah!”. H had no fear…even as S took a turn so fast that his snowmobile track caught air! It was a ton of fun and I want to do it again next year! After snowmobiling we had lunch back at the cabin and the boys played with H’s new bday toys. The boys sled outside and we got cleaned up to have dinner in Leavenworth.
