This morning's quote

I have had trouble with my alarm the last two mornings.  Yesterday we woke up at 7:15.  I like to be out the door at 7:35-7:40.  Not the end of the world unless you are trying to get Kaj to hurry but he did good.  We did everything in the order that he likes to do them but he just did it faster.  This morning we woke up at 7:30 so I am getting dressed and I am telling Kaj that we are going to have to really hurry this morning and as he is laying in bed he throws up his hands and says "Does it look like I care" My immediate thought is this is going to be a rough 15 minutes but he pulled through like a champ.

Last night the timer went off on the noodles I was cooking and he was stirring them in the pot.  After the timer went off and I am in he says " I'll let you take care of this situation".  So the line falls a bit flat when I type it.  Just try to imagine him saying that with a funny face and dismissive hand movements.

play play play

This weekend Kaj got up on Saturday and said I want someone to play with.  I said he should call Grampa and he thought that was a good idea so he called Grampa and they made plans for and adventure in the afternoon.  They snowshoed, waxed skis, went skiing, had dinner and went to the dairy.  Then on Sunday they went to the dog days of winter celebration at Trail Center and Rebecca raced in the Skijoring race with one of Julie Coleman's dogs.  Kaj came home soaked and tired so mission accomplished.  We will have to get more details from Grampa because Kaj is short on those but he was happy and had a great time. - oh when he was at Grampa's he had to call me to ask what that thing was the Auntie Bette had.  It took me a minute but he was referring to the eagle cam that Auntie Bette has to watch the eagles.  He wanted to show Grampa.

Influence of Kaj on Grampa or Grampa on Kaj?

This is what happens when Kaj and Grampa get together.  That is a wierd picture other than that I have no words to describe it.

Y-ski

Another year of Yski has been completed!  Ish 7 year olds hate having to go to things but when they get there they sure have a good time.  They had the Yski Olympics yesterday and they did the bobsled on ski's, a biathlon, shalom, and a race.  Kaj had a great time and got is peppermint medal at the end of the race.

Kaj and Brandi did a bit of snowmobiling on Brandi's new ride and now Kaj wants one.  In fact he offered to buy Brandi's and then she is going to buy a new one.

Brandi organized our kitchen cupboards which was great.  

Last night Kaj finally let me cut his hair.  He had a choice of me or Dad and he chose me.  He really wanted to go to Chuck the barbar but we just haven't been able to fit that into the schedule.

Kaj's quote of the week:

I have a variety of zits on my butt.
