Just when you thought Spring had arrived ...

It got a kick from old man winter.

We have been pretty busy in the butler did it household. The past week has been Sunshine's March break. She has not missed school at all this week, and I am not too sure she is looking forward to going back tomorrow.

Her break started in full force last Sunday when we had her birthday party. Her birthday was earlier in the Month, and we celebrated it with family, but last weekend it was all about 10 year old girls. Sunshine wanted to have and Egyptian themed birthday party, so after some helpful planning by my sister-in-law, an egyptian party was held. The girls had a good time finding their names that were done in hieroglyphics, solving puzzles I did for them in hieroglyphics, mummyfiying dolls, then mummyfying themselves, then playing mummy twister.

On Tuesday, Sunshine and I went skiing while poor hubby had to work. This is the first time I have skied in gosh knows how many years, and it was Sunshines first time. She had such a good time, and when we were coming down one of the big hills, she informed me that this was HER sport. This hill also had a deal on tubing, so when we finished skiing for the day, we headed to the tubing hill. I know Sunshine loved this because I could hear her squeals of delight as she whoosed down the hill. Finally I got the nerve up and got down the hill and then saw her face, it had the biggest grin on it that I have ever seen.

Here she is at the top of the tubing hill:














Now this is a picture so something that RARELY happens, and it happened on the way home from skiing/tubing:
















On Wednesday, we went skating on our local NHL arena on the ice. It poured rain outside ( a lot of our snow went) and we were skating inside! That was pretty cool.



















While we were skating aournd, they had sheets taped to chairs. They were selling the season tickets for the seats, and I took a picture of their prices. Wild!




























For the rest of the week, we took it easy, just went out to lunch and putzed around. And we got to shovel snow on Saturday cuz old man winter is not done with us yet. Oh well, spring is this week right? Flowers will be popping up soon right?
