Videos from the beach

Well, my ancient computer has filled to capacity. I'm sure that has nothing to do with the thousands of pictures that I take. Anyway, it has taken me much longer than I had hoped to get the rest of our vacation onto the blog... but here it is anyway. These are the videos from our time at the beach. None of them are very good. I guess it's hard to get good video and try to take care of the kids at the same time.

The first is my grandma coming out of the ball toy that she rode in. Everyone was shocked that she rode in the thing to begin with. The video is really shaky because I was walking toward the scene trying to get a better shot. Sorry.

The second video is Karen playing tag with Brady Dierkop and Ryan. They played so hard every day that Ryan actually asked for both nap time and bed time.

The third video is Ryan playing in the water. He really had much more fun than what this video shows. Hard to get good video and keep the camera dry at the same time.

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
