Frank & Amé's Cottage

Lot's of people went to Frank and Amé's cottage this weekend for a little outdoor fun. The guys went ski-dooing, snowboarding and sliding down the big hill. It was a beautiful day. Melissa and I had the ''BRILLIANT'' idea to go snowshooing and bring Chloe and Madison up the hill in their sleighs. The guys said ''10 minutes and you will be up the hill it is not long'' Yeah right! Note to self ''never listen to the people who go up the hill on ski-doo'' It was a very steep hill, there is a picture of people at the bottom of it below, but we had to use a different path by foot through the woods with no path, so we kept passing over branches. It took us more than 10 Mins, and I got my work out for the year out of it. Chloe was a trooper though she slept the whole way up. The sleigh must of flipped over 5 times and she never even opened an eye. Thank-god for Mélissa, she had to pull Chloe for the last stretch, because I wasn't going to make it.

The pictures are of us going down. I didn't learn my lesson going up, I decided that going down would be a lot easier. I was wrong. It took just as long, I kept tripping and falling and Chloe kept sliding out of her sleigh (face first in the snow once). We made it down finally, and needless to say we all slept really well that night. It was a lot of work but we had a nice day outside with nice weather and good friends.

Thanks to Amélie and Frank.

10 months and Daycare

Just wanted to keep you guys posted, Chloe was 10 months old yesterday. This morning she went to daycare for the first time. I dropped her off at 8:00 and went to get her at 12:00. I thought she was going to cry but apparently she had lots of fun. She was starting to be whiney when I went to get her, I took her temperature when we got home and she had a fever. She also has a runny nose. I guess she caught whatever I have after all. So I gave her tylenol and now she is down for her third nap of the day. I feel better leaving her at daycare now that I saw how good a reaction she had to it. She is going back on wednesday afternoon. She will be having a nap there. I will let you know how it goes.
