In an effort to not be The Lamest Mom in the World, I took the kids sledding. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Of course it wasn't until the second to last day of their Mid-Winter Break from school that I started adding up the amount of time they spent in front of the television and I realized they would soon need glasses and anti-seizure meds if I didn't get them away from the screen and out of the house.<br />

I am always shocked at how close to us in Seattle the mountains are. It was exactly 60 miles to a well groomed sledding hill with heaps of snow.<br />
I have coworkers who have longer daily commutes to work.<br />
Why can't I take my kids to the snow more than every other year?<br />
In High School, my friend Sierra and I would drive 4 hours to Tahoe in the morning for a day of skiing, and then drive home. We would listen to The Steve Miller Band on the cassette player, and tape signs on the windows of the car for people passing us to see. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(We were looking for dates.)</span><br />
Those were the good old days.<br />
**Note: Sierra was born in the Sierra Nevadas to a couple of Hippie parents. If my memory is correct, they had a dog named Rainbow. Sierra, her parents, her brother, and Rainbow all lived in an old school bus in the parking lot of Alpine Meadows Ski Resort when she was a kid. So Cool. When I met her in high school, her family was living in a gated community in Half Moon Bay.<br />

I have my own version of a cool bus, The Eurovan! It has a table that is perfect for PB&J and Hot Chocolate after a day on the slopes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br />
And then we went home, and I gave myself a gold star (a Hefeweizen) for attempting to not be The Lamest Mom in the World.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(I am purposely leaving out the part where I screamed at the kids to <i>quit the bullshit</i> in the back of the car while I was driving in the snow. Nobody needs to know about those moments in a not-lame mom's day.)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
You know when you've been going to the gym 3 days/week for 6 years, then you go on vacation for 9 days and it takes 7 years to get back to the gym? That's kind of what happened to me and blogging. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to Ireland in August. When we came home, school started again for the kids and I was overwhelmed with how to summarize 2 weeks in Ireland and 317 photos in to a blog post. After that, I felt guilty posting anything else until I got the Ireland post up. Then, not posting became much easier. Then, I had major guilt about not posting. So, I made a poor effort to get back on that rowing machine by putting up Finn's 1st grade photo. Then, it just got worse. I stopped taking photos altogether. I don't even think I brought my camera to Christmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, now I feel like a squishy slob, so I need to get back to a steady gym routine before nothing fits me any more. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Translation: I feel like a loser Mom who is going to forget what her kids looked like between September 2012 and May 2013. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What's worse than forgetting what the kids look like, is forgetting who they are at ages 9 and 7 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Niamh is prone to meltdowns about her hair. She is learning to play the Ukulele. She continues to steal candy and lie horribly about it. She watches music videos by Taylor Swift, Avril Levigne, and Beiber's ex-girlfriend, Selena. And, she packs a 7lb, 300 page book in her back pack every day so that she looks like a big book nerd when she pulls it out, slowly, so everyone around can see the size of her reading material. She's not a big book nerd but I love that she wants to be....and love even more that she's failing at it. I think she's on page 12.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finn has turned in to an athlete. He can really play both soccer and baseball. He analyzes the game once its over, and he always knows where he's going to make "the out" if the ball is hit to him. He has the smelliest feet North of Bell Town. He can eat 8 pieces of pizza and ask for yogurt 10 minutes later, go to the bathroom, and then ask for soup. And, he also steals candy, but is not as good as Niamh about lying about his crime. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These photos are from my phone. Once I post them, I'm going to feel better.</div>

Their advanced ages were most noticeable while hitting the houses up and down our street. This year, they could all run and navigate stairs. Their speed and efficiency was greatly improved over last year. I think our typical route was complete in about an hour. I have no idea if they said <i>Trick or Treat</i>, or <i>Thank You</i>. I lagged behind jabbering to my adult friends and was never really at the same house at the same time as my kids. It was a successful evening by all of our standards.</div>

I'd like to take a moment to talk about Kelli.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kelli is a young, cool, nice, popular, intelligent, beautiful, social gal. We don't know why she continues to hang out with us. Either she continues to be the geek she said she was in high school and has us all fooled, or she genuinely likes us. Finn and I really hope she likes us. Creepy Ed Grimley reminded me a couple days ago that for a while, after he first met Kelli, and before she started hanging out with us regularly, that he referred to her as <i>Hot Nurse Kelli</i> (not to be confused with <i>Hot Nurse Jessica, Cute Nurse Meg, </i>or<i> Hot Friend Nicole.</i> He really is a Creepster.) Anyhow, Kelli is up for anything. She's the same gal that comes camping with us. The only one without a kid, and she always gets assigned one to her. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Halloween afternoon, Kelli texted me a photo of her dressed as a Bumble Bee with a couple of her Nurse Practitioner colleagues, and one of our Cardiologists as the Bee Keeper. After making fun of her, I asked if she wanted to join us and the neighbors for spaghetti and trick or treating. She immediately said, <i>Sure</i> (after I confirmed that there would be beer and wine). AND, she showed up! She blows me away. I adore her. Finn has a crush on her that as a 6 year old, he can't verbalize, but he always wants to know what she's up to and if she is coming over, and when she does, he becomes shy but keeps his eyes on her. Its adorable. I totally approve of this relationship. I have a crush on Kelli too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enough about my 6year old son and my 39 year old husband and me and Kelli. </div>

The day has finally come when she wears my old clothes. She has been waiting for this day since she was old enough to realize she wants all my shoes when I'm dead.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here she is, wearing my circa 2002 Juicy Couture hoodie. Lucky for us all, I gave the pants away after wearing them through two pregnancies. I couldn't bear to look at them any more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I remember buying this luxury item at the Westfield Fashion Square Bloomingdale's in Sherman Oaks, CA. I had to have one to fit in with the rest of So Cal. (I don't think I ever fit in.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Niamh, may you get as much wear out of it as I did. I guess it was worth the $100 price tag.</div>

It was perhaps the most dramatic <strike>Rose Ceremony</strike> Camping Trip yet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had grown up tears, a kid with nocturnal emesis, bike crashes, long talks about life and love and the pursuit of happiness outside of the LA Area, and two dead car batteries. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For next year, The Council has decided to take a vote before allowing pregnant campers to spend the night. I'm sure that our pregnant camper felt forced to stay...she was. I think we had to hide her keys, let her dog run amok, and strand her other kid in the lake to keep her there longer. I can't figure out why she even thought she should come at the height of First Trimester hormones (maybe because I begged her), but the Ferry was expensive and nobody wanted her to waste the fare.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For all the complaining we do about the set up, tear down, and kids waking up at the crack of dawn, we seem to manage a great time. For the record, we know we could probably scale down on our "necessities", but if the ball tent had kept Carson contained it would have been the most useful item Meg packed.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Meg and Katie, I know I have to trick you in to doing it again each year, but I swear you both just like to listen to me grovel and whine and tell you how nobody can make me laugh the way you both do. Geez, I'm pretty pathetic. Whatever works.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aleah and Kelli, I can't figure out why you are both so willing to repeat history, but I love you for it. I need you two to help me convince the other two that we really are having fun. (We are having fun, right?) Finn loves you for it too, Kelli. In fact, Finn loves Kelli for everything about her. Finn plain old loves Kelli. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I said that I was resigning as Camp Director, but nobody else wants the job. I booked Fort Worden for next August. Mark your calendars. NO excuses. You are all going. (Katie, you're still on probation. But, I think you prefer it like that.)</div>

Good thing I know... and had the whereabouts to capture the moment and share it.</div>

This morning I was reading a blog post by a dad speculating the thoughts that go on in his toddler's head. The list is chaotic, full of contradictions, and no thought lasts more than 3 seconds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just now, as I was attempting to get one productive thing accomplished before leaving to volunteer in Niamh's 3rd grade Classroom, I realized how my thoughts and actions are much like those of that toddler. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is what I can remember to recap my morning since the kids left for school, I showered and had my pot of coffee, and scraped the tape residue off the front window.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Its such a nice day. I'll walk to the school. I should leave around 1:00</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. I want to clean the office.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. There's the new Anthro Catalog.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. I have to pee. I'll bring the catalog.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. Look at the Anthro site at more views of the outfits I like in the catalog.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6. Head to the office to clean.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
7. Vacuum Dog Area</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8. Head to the office to clean.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9. Find shammy to clean computer screen.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
10. Clean Computer screen.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
11. Look at REI.com</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
12. Head to office to clean.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
13. Think about sharpening all the colored pencils.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
14. Clean out the old cabinet in the office with the intent to take it to the curb with a FREE sign.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
15. Start to carry cabinet upstairs and out to the curb.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
16. Eat an apple.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
17. Start a grocery list.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
18. Change my mind about walking because if I drive I can just go get groceries when I leave the school and be back in time to get the kids from the bus. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
19. Check online to see if Amazon Fresh can deliver today so that I can still walk in the nice weather to the school.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
20. Get flip flops from back porch.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
21. Smile at the dogs cuddling in the sun.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
22. Think about bathing the dogs today because its nice and sunny.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
23. Take the cabinet to the curb.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
24. Notice the mint growing up through a shrub of Lamb's Ear and think about adding limes to my grocery list.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
25. Decide that blogging this can be finished before I have to leave for the school. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I need less coffee and more focus.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gotta run. Now I might be late for my volunteer hour.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

70 degrees and October is just days away. Unheard of around these parts. </div>

We are in Ireland on vacation!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The President of Ireland, the kids just call him <i>Grandpa</i>, invited us on a 2 week trip and we graciously obliged! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So far, we have met countless cousins, aunts, and uncles, driven from Dublin to Wicklow to Meath to Wicklow to Dublin to Coon to Thurles to Coon to Kilkenny and back to Coon again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The kids are loving their Irish counterparts and the animals in each of their back yards....some yards have a dog, others sheep, chickens, and ponies. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We've seen rainbows and 4 leaf clovers, thousands years old stone ruins, and a castle. However, the leprechauns continue to escape us. Uncle Tom says that there are a hundred of them on his farm but we have to be up by 6am to catch them. None of us seem to think that's worth the effort.</div>

**The following is not a dramatization, it is a real conversation between an 8 year old girl and her mother who needs to drink more water.**</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Niamh: <i>Momma, what if someone said to you you could have coffee or beer, which would you choose?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: <i> Hmmmm, what time of day is it?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Niamh: <i>Its the middle of the day.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: <i>Oooohhhhh, this could go either way. What's the weather like?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Niamh: <i>I'm gonna make this hard. Its cloudy with the sun peeking out.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: <i>Is Megan with me?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Niamh: <i>No. That's too easy.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: <i>Ok, what am I wearing?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Niamh: <i>A pretty dress.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: <i>Boots and tights or sandals and bare legs?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Niamh: <i>Boots and tights.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: <i>I've got my answer. Coffee.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Niamh: <i>I thought you'd choose that.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me: <i>Cheers, Kid.</i></div>

Reshma showed up at my house at 9am, clad in jammies, bearing fresh out of the oven blueberry muffins, and asked if we would like to join her family for dinner at Gas Works that evening. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I asked her why she didn't bring coffee.</div>

10 hours later, we had ourselves a feast with a bucket of chicken, mac and cheese, kale salad, and a bottle of wine. </div>

Every year Steve's family has a gathering known as Westyfest. Usually its at Auntie Alex's house here, near Seattle. This year, we travelled all the way to Camarillo, California to include Steve's cousins, his cousins' kids, and his Aunt and Uncle in the fun. It turns out that fun runs in their blood, and their spouses' blood. Steve isn't the only one who married a super fun, witty, hospitable, and all around great individual. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, to So Cal we flew. We spent two sun(screen) filled days with The Westovers and The Rosemeyers bouncing in blowup structures, swimming in pools, playing minute-to-win-it type games, eating, drinking, dehydrating, and seeking shade and airconditioning. </div>

Cousin Cooper celebrated his Sweet 16 while we were there. I'm sure he couldn't think of a better way to spend such a special birthday. Surrounded by your Dorky Uncles, away from your best friends, being serenaded at Red Robin, blowing out the candles on a cake that has your 2 year old photo on it is way better than any of those silly bashes they show on MTV.</div>

Cousin Stacey weighs in at about 97lbs and she beat the pants off of Grandma and Auntie Michelle in the Airplane Bottle Of Booze Chug. Her time was under 2 seconds. She has 3 kids. I'm pretty sure they have something to do with her winning time.</div>

After our 2 days of WestyRosemeyerFest 2012, we took a day to tour the sights we used to frequent when we lived in LA. Due to my fear of heat, there weren't many sights to see. I pretty much stayed inside with the A/C blasting at my armpits for the 4 years we lived in LA. </div>

This is where Steve and I loved to eat. It used to be Sushi Kokyo but Boss, the sushi chef, took the kitchen crew and opened his own sushi joint. There is drama everywhere in LA, it can't be avoided, not even at a strip mall sushi joint.</div>

Next, I dropped Steve and the kids at Venice Beach. While they gawked at all the old wrinkly men who hang out there on their roller blades, I rocked down to Electric Avenue. Rather, I passed Electric Avenue en route to my shopping destination on Abbot Kinney, but I couldn't stop singing Eddy Grant's song. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, we drove out of LA, past countless outlet malls, and arrived at Disneyland. I hoped to fall ill with some form of gastroenteritis that might justify my desire to remain outside the Disney gates, inside a cool hotel room, alone, away from crowds of sticky strangers. Unfortunately, my GI system never does what I want it to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I joined Steve and the kids, along with Uncle Mike and Cousin Emily, for a morning at the park. I lasted 6 hours until the clouds cleared, the sun started to blaze and burn, and the crowds grew. Once all that happened, I ditched Steve, Mike and the kids, I jumped in the motel pool, and I got an Ice Blended from Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. The rest of them stayed in the park another 7 hours. I never would have made it. </div>

By all reports, the kids had a blast. I fear I may have to go again some day. And, to be honest, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I might return some October when most of the world's young people are in school and the temp is cooler. That way, we could enjoy the rides without all the sticky sunscreen and it would be just us with all the weird adults that go to Disneyland without kids. I can't wait.</div>

They've been away from home for 2 weeks. Away from me and Steve for 8 days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm happy to report that I miss them A LOT. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Niamh and Finn come home tonight after 6 days in So Cal and 8 days in Nor Cal. I think they are going to be happy to come home to the Pac NW and their own pee stained beds.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to pick them up tonight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right now I've gotta run. I only have 4 more hours to shop without them.</div>
