Watch out... I carry a big stick!

On New Year's Day Morgan and I went ice skating at the park by our house. It's fun to be able to skate outside and not have it cost us anything!

When I see pictures of myself skating I always have two thoughts. 1.) Wow! I'm short. 2.) That's a BIG stick!


I love my ice skates. They are a sturdier boot than a figure skate with some padding and insulation but they have a figure blade on them. I wish they had made such a thing when I was a kid! My feet were always cold in figure skates. I couldn't wear figure skates now either because I just don't have the strength in my ankles anymore. But these skates are great and I only need to wear one pair of socks with them and my feet are always warm!

I had a little video I wanted to post to show my great skating skills but it won't upload. So maybe another time!

Also, I've decided that since I posted my giveaway on kind of a bad day for blogging and had a pretty short deadline, I'd give away two more calendars! If you would like to enter to win please leave a comment on this post and tell me why you need a calendar! (Same eligibility rule applies as last time.) Deadline for comments will be 10pm Wednesday!

Looks like fun! I haven't ice skated in years and only once outdoors - usually too warm down here. :)

The calendar is so pretty! Love the simple, clean design and fun sparkly paper. I need a calendar for 2009 to count down those days until baby arrives. ;)

I have to say that I just love Owen's photos. I think you have a little photographer on your hands there.

Ice Skating! boy I haven't been in about 12 years! I use to love go, but dh get's all nervous that I'll break something.
You certainly look really warm and the skates sound wonderful.

You look so cute on your skates! I haven't ice skated in YEARS!

I need a calendar because they're just too pretty not to have ;) I missed your last giveaway for them, so I'd love to be entered in this one :)
