Zippity.. do.. dah...Oscar style


(Oscar showing off some skillz)
Since Christmas when Oscar opened his new ZIP LINE from the male Santa in this household, he has been looking forward to spring. He would say to me, "Mom can you wait for spring? I can't, you know why? I get o ride my zip line".
Now I know it isn't spring, I won't even tempt my brain with the thought of that...but Saturday Ricky and Lil'O set it up. Oscar loves it!

Today he stayed home sick from school due to a couch and runny nose. He wasn't allowed to ride the zip line, or play outside, if he was going to stay home...He was sick enough to convince me to stay home, but well enough that he really wanted to play outsid ein the mid-40 degree weather with teh abundant sunshine.

I've decided I was really punishing myself. After seeing the sunshine through the window all day I am a bit sad that we didn't go for a walk or play in the sunshine a bit.
Daddy on the other hand allowed him to ride the Zip line one time this evening in the promise taht he would be well enough to go to school tomorrow....After a day of Oscar and Poppy both being a litttle bit sick (aka grumpy) I think I am ready for him to go back, and for Poppy to get off her whinny streak...I hope the sun decides to stick around one more day.

That does look like fun. Does Oscar share with Poppy or are you not going to let her try it for awhile?

I can't tell you how many times I was going to buy a zip line for the Edge kids! However, you have beaten me to it. Rick e mailed dad some boy names that you are considering (some I hope you do not consider) how about a list of girl names?

The zipline looks great. What a perfect backyard to have such fun activities. I am sure it will get some good use.

I would be sick for school also if I could hang around in the back yard....

Hey Warrior, you can call in sick anytime and tinker around in your "spring time much to do back yard"!
