Chilling out in Aspen!

Last week was school break so we headed to Aspen, Colorado to see family & ski! Unfortunately I only had my point & shoot camera and there was no SD card in it so I only got a few photos but thought I would share them with you.

DH plays as hard as the kids! On the terrain park with a broken hand from the week before skiing back east!

Oh Yeah!!!

One funny story to share - from the time we were young my grandparents had instilled in us that when you travel, you should look nice. So....I took a bit of care choosing my outfit - nothing too fancy, but no sweats. All went well until the plane touched down at the Vail airport. It was after midnight east coast time and our youngest dozed in the seat next to me. I pulled him onto my lap while the rest of the plane emptied out....before I knew it or could stop it I was greeted with a warm wet feeling on my leg - yep...I had been peed on!

Luckily I had a change of clothes for everyone in my carry-on so I scooted us off the plane & into the restroom to change. Unfortunately, to minimize the space the clothes took up in the carry-on, I had packed my pajama pants as my change of clothes. This meant I got to walk through the Vail airport in cheetah spotted flannel sleep pants! Sorry Grandma & Grandpa! I was just glad the camera was still packed.

mango moon madness!

when we were in Aspen, Klem asked if I could make him an ear flap - pilot style hat...in PINK! so when I stumbled upon this luscious yarn...carnation dreadlocks.... from Mango Moon I knew it was just what he was looking for.....the pattern is Nelly from Rowan and was knit on size 17 needles ... it took about 45 minutes start to
finish!

when we got home the other kids really wanted one too but we were unable to find the mango moon locally so we headed off to the local yarn store and they choose some nice super bulky wool...
