Beth and Kary sledding!

We had our first snowfall last week. Beth and I decided it was time to play. We got out the sleds and I prayed that I would live through the experience. I did! Beth was super brave and went down the steepest, fastest part of our sledding hill on the property. I went on the 'baby' side, but the ride was still super fast and I screamed "ahhhhhhhhhhh" the whole way down.
I also decided to put on my cross country skiis and give it a whirl. I did it! I went to the top of the trail that is in our yard and skiied down it. I screamed the whole way down that too. After two more runs, no more screaming. I had gained my confidence and control back. I felt alive and free! It was wonderful to me! Beth also decided to try on my skiis and cruise around the yard. She did great. She's a natural. I'm hoping she can get some skiis soon so we can go on the lakes by our home (once they freeze over, of course) : )

Thanks for the fun day Beth.

After some exercise, we went to Freddy's and bought hairspray for Mom. Only Freddy's carries it. so, it's a good thing there is a Freddy's in Wasilla. I was also searching for a pumpkin to carve. I couldn't find one there, but I did find a new shirt to wear to church. It's the first time I bought something for me to wear in a long time. That was fun! We did find our pumpkins at Carrs. Beth and I both got one and we'll be carving ours tonight after our family home evening lesson "letting your light shine" (I'm going to put a candle on a candlestick and set it behind a plant (a bushel) and teach Ray and Stephen about the sermon on the Mount) Then, after carving our pumpkin, we'll light the candle and show how "light" 'can be in our countenances. : )

Hope you all have a Happy Halloween!

hugs,
Kary

PS. I tried to post more pictures, but it kept telling me "error", so it looks like two at a time is the trick. So, I'll try and just post some more random pictures later. I love you all.
