This is a blog by a "real" mom for other "real" moms. I am no fakey who is wonderful at everything....I do a lot of different things and try to do them well...but when it comes right down to it, I am just an average mom trying to do the right thing to ensure my family is happy and healthy and that my kids grow up able to take care of themselves and get out of my hair.

Snow Play Day
I took the day off yesterday and we stayed at the cabin for an extra day over the long weekend. Yesterday, we spent 6 hours just playing in the snow. And it pretty much snowed the whole time.
We snow shooed thru feet of powder. When you took a step, you sunk up to your knees -even with snow shoes on! Ahi had a hard time, even when following in our trail. So we had to stuff her in our coats part of the time. Daisy loved it!
The kids built a cool snow fort that they then used in our snowball fight as their base. Jim and I built a crummy little base using a snow wall and a sled. It was Jim, me and Daisy against Drew and Gracie. (Ahi was in the truck trying to get warm -see pic) It was a riot to watch Daisy mosey over and mow thru the walls of their fort, like she knew what she was doing. Then she would walk back to us and hide behind our fort! Needless to say, we lost when Gracie came running over and heaved her body thru the wall of our base! And then I ended up in a snow bank when Drew hip checked me!
We also met up with a man out walking his 2 chocolate labs. The dogs played together chasing a frisbee in the snow for about an hour! That was what finally did in the Chiweenie!
