"The Mother Hill" Day #2


Yes, we had another snow day and, therefore, had to hit the "Mother Hill" once again. It not only snowed about another inch, but was actually snowing when we went back out this morning. I took a few more pictures to show exactly how the "Mother Hill" got it's name.











Some of my favorite quotes of the day.
Ben: "Meg, that wasn't a snow ball that you threw at my face, it was an ICE ball."

Molly at the bottom of the hill yelling: "Meg and Ben, don't run into me on the Mother Hill." They hit and knocked her down anyway.

Mom (as I'm taking a shower):"Sam, take that HUGE chunk of ice out of my bathroom!!!" Sam, "Can't I put it in the freezer for later?" Mom, "NO!!!" Sam, "Mom, are you mad at me?"
Molly at the bottom of the hill right before she got "plowed"over. Next Molly staying at the bottom of the hill playing with a stick because it was too hard to walk up the hill "again." Then Molly in the van "resting" and eating a snack while waiting for the other kids to get done sledding.

Youe kids all have snow gear! My poor kids have been out there with regular shoes and pants and it has been fun, but LOTS of laundry and hot chocolate and today mid-day baths to warm up. We have a great hill in our backyard as well- not named the "Mother Hill" though- maybe "Mother Hill 2" in your honor?
Cute pictures Vicki!

Hey Meg and Ben, we had a snow day here in Utah too. Instead of staying home the kids were forced to stay at school all night. A school bus got stuck and the kids had to stay the night at a church. There were people who had to stay the night at gas stations. The snow wasn't that bad, but the wind was going 70 miles an hour and blew the snow everywhere.

You are funny. I love reading your commentary on the day. You are like a mom-caster instead of a sports-caster. Looks like you all had a wonderful day. I am glad you are comfortable with posting such fun family activities. Don't stop.

I love, love, love blogs and seeing the variety out there. I get so many good ideas that I would have never come up with on my own. Thanks

This is Kristie Holland by-the-way from the Lousiville 3rd ward. We are now in Las Vegas. I found your blog on Tiffany's.

I made the comment about being comfortable posting your fun-ness because I love stealing ideas and I don't want you to stop.
