Snowboarding, dirt, and our busy week

Our family snowboarding trip was amazing.  I admit I had a lot of hesitation about the trip just before leaving.  Would I be able to learn?  Would I break every bone in my body trying?  Would the kids get seriously injured flying down the mountain into a tree?

My fears were strong.  However, I promised I would listen carefully to Daddy over and over again about how to balance and give it my best shot.  Day one was painful.  I fell a lot.  However, I also got some basic turns!  The kids had about the same success as I did, but their falling was from a much lower height…

Day 2 and 3 were amazing.  I did it.  I am a snowboarder.  And I want to go do it again!

After coming home though it was time to focus on our garden efforts this year.  We have garden plans.  We built the bed, the potato box and the compost box.  The dirt was delivered.  All 5 cubic yards of it.  I can assure you that it was a LOT of dirt.  Three days later it was moved and given away so we could park in the driveway again.  I think I saved money but I am thinking bags of mulch will be EASIER to handle.

We have an extremely busy week with play dates and activities.  We also are going full force in school.  It makes for long days.  I hope next week I don’t get so eager in planning social things. ;-)
