The last few days have been very cold and snowy. The kids were let out early last Wednesday because of blowing snow. Then the next days (both Thursday and Friday) were snow days as well. This is all very exciting for the kids but I find it very anti-climatic. The Christmas Concert was cancelled and all of the fun related to the last day of school didn't happen of course. The kids have braved the extreme cold (9 degrees F.) to play in the drifts but I, on the over hand, have stayed warm inside. L has begun working on her days off - and is especially in demand when the weather is bad and NAC's can't make it into work. We live less than a mile away so she doesn't have much of an excuse not to make it there. We celebrated hubby's birthday last week. He is our "games" person so we gave him a game called "Blokus". We have been really enjoying this game. I highly recommend it because it requires a lot of thinking & strategy and it's new each time you play it. It really depends on what the other players do as to what strategy you will use.
This past weekend we went ice skating with the family - something we haven't done in quite a while. We had a bunch of friends over on Saturday evening and again today lots of visiting with friends. We are looking forward to a relaxing Christmas break. We'll keep you posted!
P.S. I need to run since I am talking on MSN with my niece Becky in Indonesia.
