Tuesday Update #6

We had a pretty awesome second half of last week. The girls got to come with me to book club. Why? Because my friends (who don't have kids but love mine) bought this:
Yup. They now have a bounce house. In there basement. It's amazing.
The girls bounced their little hearts out and then crashed with the puppy to watch cartoons while adults talked books :)

Then what fun we had this weekend! For the first time all year all four of us went out to the hill Saturday morning. We took the gondola up RIGHT past where they were setting up for the FIS big air competition that was going to take place later that afternoon.
Hopped on the lift to the green run.

And then let the girls run
which was SHOCKING to both Alex and I because we were under the impression that M didn't know how to ski. Turns out we were wrong. Go figure. We quickly adjusted plans and hopped on a lift to the blue runs.
And had some fun that way too.
Wanting to save M's legs for her actual lesson in the afternoon Alex hung back with M in the lodge for a big and C and I went to explore a bit - finding a bit of wind a little higher up the mountain.
but all and all reasonable conditions and much fun to be had. Especially when we could watch some of the big air atheles qualify after we wrapped for the day.
In case you haven't caught it before - here's an example of what we saw (this is during the finals but we saw this guy qualify - it was crazy):

Big event so far this week has been parent teach conferences for C tonight. She's doing awesome. Crazy improvement since the beginning of the year and above benchmarks across the board. And awesome parent teach conference for all involved :) Plus we got to be in the school so could check out some of her artwork:
which got even cooler when I saw the backstory online:


On the M side of the house looking at daycare pictures apparently she turned 16 without telling anyone. Must have been right after she learned to ski...
