Amanda Probst - Journal - "The boys with all the little snow hills"

THE NITTY GRITTY

HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

"The boys with all the little snow hills"

1. Sorry I've been MIA. Boys gave me their cold last weekend. Good news is that they all recovered quickly and that it's no biggie...just congestion and cough enough to keep me at less than 100% all week. All better now. ;)

2. Happy day after Valentine's Day! We didn't do anything in particular, as I find the holiday rather pointless and commercial (and hearts and pink just aren't really my style, lol). Not all too heartbroken that our homeschool group opted not to do a Valentine's party this year. ;) Gave the boys some miscellaneous Lego pieces (mostly for their mini-figures) and fully plan to stock up on the after-Valentine's-Day candy sales, LOL!

3. New challenge up over on the Good Grief Blog! Check it out!

4. The Olympics are going to seriously impede my getting things done for the next two weeks! Our weekend was fairly full of Olympics watching and I love seeing how enthusiastic the boys get. In particular (this weekend), they liked the moguls...or, as Micah said "the boys with all the little snow hills"...to which Noah corrected, "no, you mean the men's monguls." Yeah, need to work on the lingo, but the cheering is good all the same. ;)
