Went up to Mt. Baker with the kids yesterday for some sledding and fun in the snow. It was a beautiful, clear day with blue skies and powdery snow. The sledding was fun. There were a lot of people there.

Unfortunately S got banged up a bit. M ran into her once, my heel caught her in the eye when we were going up a slope, and she twisted her wrist when we were sledding and wrecked. But she recovered pretty quickly and had fun. M really wanted to catch some air. Both he and N were ready to launch off some steep slopes. We all want to do some snowboarding and/or skiing next time. I'll start saving up my money again...

We stopped at the North Fork Brewery for pizza on the way back, and got hot chocolate further down the road as well. It was a nice time.

Everyone's been sick, except for me. H went to Victoria to perform with the Impromaniacs, so I had N,M & S for two days, which was a lot of fun - except for the sick part. All three of them have gone through fevers in the last week, one right after the other. First M, then S, now N. H doesn't sound too well either. And after the fever it turns into a yucky chest cold with a nasty cough.

I hope they're feeling better today.

Oh yeah, on the same morning that N & S had a fever at the same time N lost a tooth and M had a nosebleed! All the fluids were represented at some point that day... Now that the boys are getting older and losing the last of their baby teeth the tooth fairy has upped the bounty to $5 - they're just a little more valuable now.
