"I'm Goin' Ridin' on the Ski Train of Love...."

Oh wait, I think the song is "Freeway of Love" so, just forget about my trendy title. Unfortunately, some of us had more fun than others.

It was actually more like the "ski train of HORROR" for our little Ethan who not only lost his ski instructor but developed a fever while in the ski school, skipped lunch and slept on a bench for 3 hours in the lodge until his ski class was over. Only to have a horrible cough and act like he was going to vomit at any moment. Yes, all of that excitement and it cost us $105.00! Just for the dang ski school! I should have been his instructor, at least I wouldn't have lost him.

But wait, it gets better, on the way home on the "ski train of Trauma", he accidentally got himself stuck in the bathroom and no one realized it until I heard the screaming and crying from the bathroom and ran down the corridor and shoved the door open only to find my terrorized little boy.

As I said, some of us had more fun than others. I just hope that my poor child is not scarred for life.

Ethan, the Experimental Scientist

Ethan:"Mom did you know that if you weigh yourself... then go potty...then weigh yourself again...you weigh less.

"Watch me...I weigh 46.6"

(pees in the toilet)

"Now I weigh 46.2, so pee and poop have weight, isn't that cool?? You should try it,"

Claudia:"Yes Ethan, that is very cool!, I think I should go potty more often"

Garage Finish Part 1

As with most new homes, the third stall of our garage was unfinished when we bought this house. 2 years later, after some prompting and comments from my parents like, "Why didn't you builder finish your garage?" and "So, why haven't YOU done it?" We decided to bite the bullet and buy the stuff and take advantage of my dad's "free labor" to get it going the last week of 2008. We had the whole garage textured when Ben and my dad finished the drywall....next will be the painting...my favorite part...NOT!!!
