The Hills are Alive

The whole time I sat and watched Reagan run around I had the song from "Sound of Music" ringing through my head.  THEEEEE Hills are alive .... with the sound of music... laaaaa la la la.  Pretty Epic.

On Sunday we had something you call "Cabin Fever"... so we headed out on a walk.  It was mainly me with cabin fever... I had to get out of the house.  I was about to go CRAZY.  It has been raining here and, don't get me wrong... I love the rain... but, if it is going to rain daily for a week I would rather it snow.  That way you can get out in it and run some energy off.  My house is not adapt for week rain.  We start to get a little nuts.  

When we came to some hills, the kids and I decided to go up.  Something new.  Hudson and Reagan LOVED it.  They were in hog heaven.  Hudson kept saying "It looks like Never-land up here!"

And, it kinda did.  I guess that says something for the place we live.  Beautiful.

 {I suppose for posterity}

Never-land

Funny tidbit about the "climb".  First, lets start with Reagan does.not.listen to me in any way.  Most of the time.  It usually ends up with me loosing it and raising my voice {working on that problem daily}.  I kept telling her to "sllllllow down when you run down hill... you are going to eat it."  Finally I just stopped.  She didn't listen, and I was just talking to the air.  So two minutes after I stopped she started rolling.  Head first down the hill.  The hill looks all nice and soft in the pictures, but it isn't.  For starters, there is hard mud everywhere... and cows are let loose on this part.  So cow crap can be located.  Not to mention the dried sticker bushes weaved into all the grass.  Back to Reagan - So she went down head first... did a few summersaults and then finished off with a face plant onto a heap of mud... which at first I thought was cow poo.  I started laughing.  I couldn't stop.  Her sweet little face was all confused.  Now, friends - I am well aware she did not learn her lesson... this incident will not solve my moment to moment problem of her 1. hunger   2. non listening ears   or  3. her potty mouth as of late, 

BUT it was a moment of humor just for me.  I took it.

I am such a nice mom - huh? That is really not a question.  :)
