My Uncle Brian loves the snow. He lives in Scotland where they really don't get too much of that stuff. Today, they have 12 degree weather and are able to open all their windows and enjoy the sunshine. Yep, I'm jealous. I love the snow, but I'd rather have sunshine and warmth any day.

Anyways, I actually have a story to tell today. Just for Brian, who didn't get to enjoy this weather when he was here over Christmas. As you all know, yesterday was our big tobogganning outing. We had a great turnout, and the weather was just perfect! Things couldn't have been better! We loaded Jasons truck with our GT's and Joey's little red sled, then we dressed in all our winter gear. Everyone was so excited, especially me since I haven't been toboganning in YEARS!!! Joey wanted to go down the hill the minute we got there, before the truck was even unloaded, so Jason pulled out Joey's little red toboggan and off we went! Joey and I took off and went right down the hill, and loved it! It was such a great feeling! When we got to the bottom, Joey started yelling that we had to go again, and took off up the hill. So once again, we sat in his little red sled and pushed off... and started to slide down the hill. Halfway down the hill, we hit something. Not sure if it was a rock, a chunk of ice, or what, but it tore through the sled and hit my butt. (Yeah, ok, this is the part where you start to laugh at my expense.) We got to the bottom of the hill and I had some trouble getting up. Joey wanted to go again and took off up the hill, but I still wasn't sure what had happened. Dazed and sore, I checked the sled and found it was completely busted, and trailed my sorry butt back up the hill. The rest of the day was painful. I could only go down a few more times before I was in extreme pain. Joey decided that the GT's were fun and was borrowing other peoples sled's, so he had a blast. He even decided to try the ice chute that the bigger kids had made - he ran to it and slid right down on his little butt! It was so great to see - he absolutely loves the snow!

So there you go - I could have just emailed this story to Brian, but I decided that I would share my misfortune with everyone. I believe that I may have cracked or bruised my tailbone, but since nothing can be done for it, I will just suffer till its better. I won't suffer quietly though... I have a feeling that I'll be yelling at everyone to stop laughing at me! I hope that everyone enjoyed my story, and will beware of rocks and crap when you are tobogganing :) Or just drink enough before going out so that you don't feel it!!!

As for our pipes, they didn't burst.... or not that know of. We got them thawed out, and the water is now running ok. We're expecting more freezing cold crap, so I really hope that it doesn't happen again.

Joey & Chris went to a birthday party on Saturday. Carson is now 3 years old! The boys had a great time, and Joey met some new friends. It was a great afternoon for the parents as well, as the kids pretty much kept themselves entertained the whole time! They were awesome together! Carson had a Spongebob ice cream cake, and it was soooo good! I had never tried that before, but I definetly want more!

Well, that's it for today. I hope you have all enjoyed hearing about the adventure that led to me having a cracked butt. I just look on the bright side - at least it wasn't my head :)
