HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL On ICE



Well the long awaited day finally arrived...HSM on Ice. Now I do have to admit that I was actually looking forward to it...I mean how bad could it be???? I like the songs, I love Troy & Gabriella etc. etc. I wish I could say my husband was as excited as his girls were. (He had to go because Grandma is still in St. George) So we endured walking 2 blocks thru -30 and finally got into the arena where there were THOUSANDS of little girls! Peter is looking at me like he wants to die!! We walk past the HUGE line ups of people trying to buy merchandise where the cheapest thing you can get costs $15 bucks! Hello where do these people get their money??? It wasn't like tickets were cheap to get into this thing and then a PROGRAM costs $20bucks...are you kidding me!?!?!? Needless to say I told Madison that Disneyland was coming up and she should be grateful she was even there (what a mean mom I am!) We climb over a gazillon people because of course the seats I bought are 20 seats in each way (way to go Kins!) The show starts and can I say that this was SUPPOSED to be on ice and the first 15 minutes we watched a video about the making of HSM3. DUMB!!!! I was quite disappointed with the whole program. It was CHEESY (yes cheesier than the movies), the skaters SUCKED, and it was long! I did have to laugh because Madison leaned over 1/2 way thru the show and said "Mom...Troy looks really different!" What a cute girl. I didn't have the heart to break it to her that we weren't really seeing Gabriella, Troy, Sharpay and Ryan skating....just look a likes and poor ones at that. The best part of the night was dinner...Thank you Won Ton Louies!

Once there was a snowman???

So it finally got warm enough up in the great North to actually go outside and spend some time! Madison has wanted to build a snowman for a while now so we decided Saturday would be the day. We got all bundled up (not really though because it felt like a heat wave outside) and headed out to make a snowman in the back yard. However our many attempts failed....why you ask?? Because the snow was too dry (according to Peter). WHAT?!?!?!? How can snow be dry? Well it was and so every attempt we made at rolling a ball crumbled--we ended up making snow angels which took a lot less time :)

Daddy's Day Out

I sent Madison and Peter out Saturday to "run errands" so I could have some time by myself to clean out the toy room. However, when they came home Peter had purchased a present for Madison. This is now what is on the wall in my daughters room (MUCH to my chagrin!)

Yes it's HUGE
