Sledding in March

I haven't ventured out this winter to take the boys sledding.  Probably because we haven't had much luck in the past.  My boys also haven't really asked me much about sledding.  I guess maybe they didn't know how much fun it could be.  Yesterday it rained all morning and afternoon.  By late afternoon the rain changed to snow, because of the rain and the wet conditions, this snow was extremely wet and heavy, not what we're usually used to.  Today was bright and sunny with temperatures in the high 30's.  I decided that it would be a good day to take the boys over to the local hill and sled for a while.  It was such a perfect activity for us this afternoon.  We all had a lot of fun.  We only stayed about twenty minutes but it was a nice way to get some activity in our day.  Can't wait for Spring and Summer and all of the park adventures that we get used to during the nicer weather.  Notice they don't even have their coats on.  They didn't really need their snow pants except to keep dry.  So much more fun than having to really bundle up for the cold weather.

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.  ...
