It happened again; my birthday. Those yearly special events seem to come more often than before.
Strange thing is the time.

Children's Day
The breakfast in bed was requested for this occasion.
Unfortunately one riser had to get to school early so she enjoyed breakfast after school.
Some got presents, some are still waiting for it, because Zootopia is being released a week after; it seems to be very likable movie here. :)

The swimmer
I would like to see her racing too, but waking up the rest of the pack would be considered an accomplishment and by the time we all would be ready, Zuzanna most certainly would be done with her races.
So I just settled down for the phone calls with the updates.
She did really well and we are heading with her to the New England US swimmers competition in July. She is going to race in 50m breaststroke. She has one more chance to make it also in 100m breaststroke.
We are really proud of her and her work!

Sandbox
Somebody had his little sandbox enlarged. The trucks needed more space and more sand.
I, on the other hand, took advantage of the free wood planks and made some planters.
Andrzej said that they won't last long due to the fact that the wood was already old and weathered but I will enjoy my eye for the time being :)

Feeling like summer!
What better than running half naked through the sprinklers in summer like weather?
Not much :)
Hello summer!!!

The bunnies
Look what I have discovered under the kids playset!?
A couple of awfully cute wild bunnies!
They are patiently waiting for their mommy. I have covered them with grass to protect them against the sun and predators. There are a couple of cats wandering about...

The middle of February...
( the draft of this post is waiting to be published for almost two weeks, maybe today is the day )
...the winter vacation happened.
We had planned since November; booking a place to stay and thinking what slopes to visit.
January brought us rude awaking. Bad, challenging days were thrown at us. We had to deal with it and somehow live a normal life.
The trip was lastly on my mind, and honestly I would rather prefer to spend that time rolled up in my bed without being awaken.
But we had to go. We had to do the opposite of what we felt and make the best of what life has to offer at this particular moment.
We went...the weather wasn't really cooperating with us.
The first day was ok but after traveling for few hours all of us were tired.
Nevertheless Kubus tried skiing with daddy and I took girls for XC run. I am sad to announce that they were very eager to go back to the starting point and never do it again :(
Next day brought so much rain and it was just crazy!
Fortunately there was a the beautiful, barn style, library in Jackson that was open and we spent hours in there. We were also hoping for a mountain hike but once we got out of the car we knew that it was impossible!
The next few days my Alpine skiers tried to stay on slopes as long as possible.
Kiki is quite skilled skier and she could managed on her own, Zuzia polished her skiing skills and Kubus did very well and did not want to stop.
Andrzej tried to get the best out of it for himself and I juggled the changing, buckling and unbuckling ski boots and feeding the hungry:)
The rain really messed up the conditions for me and on the last day of our stay I just barely managed to ski on ice ( not fun ) while the kiddoes had fun tubing.
I must say though that it was rather successful trip. Sometimes you just have to get creative and work with what is given to you at the moment.
Somehow I don't think there is any skiing for me this year. There is no snow in weather forecast in the near future. However Andrzej is still planning a trip with girls up north.
That is if there is still snow out there and if Zuzia's swimming meets are going to let her do so. But that is a different story.
