We took the boys skiing for the first time. There is a "mountain" about 30 minutes away. P practiced on the little hill all day. He would ski down, take off his ski's, pick them up and give them to me, walk back up the hill, and do it all again.
S left his coat at home... fortunately, they had one that we were able to borrow for the day. He practiced on the little hill until daddy decided he was ready to go on the "mountain." He wasn't ready. First trip down... lots of crying. Pep talk with mom in the bathroom. More practice. Second trip down, just a little whining and lots of help from daddy. Warm up in lodge with mommy while daddy takes a break from helping our little skiers... daddy goes up the lift and ski's down faster than it took him to get up to the top. More practice. Mommy suggests they go up one more time... S takes off down the "mountain" leaving daddy chasing behind yelling: "stop, sit down, stop, sit down!!!!" S makes it down in no time, and does a few hops at the end to celebrate. He loves it! Then as we're returning our gear he lets us know that he already knows how to ski, and next time he wants to snowboard!
Some of our friends are from Poland. I saw an article in an old Taste of Home magazine about a tradition of having a butter lamb on their table at Easter. Something about symbolizing the Lamb of God and the richness of Christ. I thought it would be fun to try and make one of these cute little butter lambs and give it to them for Easter... I think it turned out pretty cute!
And here are the boys doing an Easter Egg hunt. Not sure how many time they hunted Easter Eggs... they love it. They hid them for each other. Gana and Mema hid eggs for them while they were here... It's June and they just got the eggs out a few days ago put candy in them and hid them for each other again!
Their own little personalities :)
With daddy - love my boys!
