Went sledding today

It's so cold out there with wind and all that snow, but Mark and I took the girls sledding anyways. Cassidie was a crank pot so her and daddy went to the ski lodge ticket booth and sat with Jason since he works there and Mercedes and I went sledding together on the tube. It was lots of fun! We ended up backwards which I didn't really like, but I corrected us with my foot lol. After we were done we went and caught the horse pulled sleigh and went for a short ride around the ski area. Of course it never fails and one of the horses decided it was time to go to the bathroom while pulling us and I swear only MY DAUGHTER seemed to think this was very funny and was laughing uncontrollably. There were 3 other kids and only one other one commented, but he said "coooooooooooooooool" because the sleigh ran it over.

After that was done we went for a short ride to Deweys Pond because Jason said people were ice fishing on it. There was like 3 people ice skating and one guy packing up to leave from ice fishing. I told Mark to give it atleast another week before he walk out there. They say 4 inches of ice is safe for people to walk on, 6 inches to put a shanty on and 8-10 to drive a truck on.. I freak and hate going on unless I know there is atleast 5 inches of ice on anything. The closer to shore we are the more at ease I am too. I just have a fear of falling through and not being able to find the hole I fell in to get back out... It's been a fear of mine since I was a kid. My kids love to go.. They have no fear at all and I think thats good, but I also don't want them going on just any ice either in case.

So after that we came home. I've been attacking laundry and cleaning up here and there. Mercedes is outside sledding with the kids around here and Cassidie is sacked out on the couch with Derek and Mark is sacked out in the recliner. Jason will be here in about 20 minutes to pick up Cassidie so she and him and can spend time together. He's one of the best big brothers any little girl would want. He's 12 years older than she is, just like I'm 12 yrs older than my bro and he's my fave.
She's gonna spend the night over with him since they got the day off from school tomorrow. I'm taking the advantage and spraying this house up and down with lysol. She's got a cold now and there is 10 days left till her surgery.. Keep yer fingers crossed she gets well in time.. I'm sure she will.

Ok well I'm off to check out my boards and what have you.. ttyl
