Waiting for the snow

All of this talk of snow has got us excited!
The boys and I secretly have our fingers crossed for a snow day Wednesday, and are tentatively planning a sledding trip for Friday. Hopefully we can even get Blake out on the hill this time.

The open house was wonderful, Mason proudly showed me all of his different classrooms and introduced me to his favorite teachers. Computer class is the hands-down favorite, with gym and art competing for second place. Mase showed me EVERYTHING, even trying to drag me up to the attic. I'm glad he has settled into his school year, he seems to be enjoying it much more now, and it shows in his report card.

Both boys had their first games on Saturday, but Ash missed his to attend Gavin's birthday party. He had a great time at the party, it was one of the largest parties I have been to yet- there must have been forty children there. We bounced, played ski ball, air hockey, inflatable T-ball, then ate some cake and left a little early to watch Mason in his game.

Sunday was the big birthday dinner for Sean, and the first "normal" food we've eaten in more than a month. We made prime rib, mashed sweet potatoes, wild rice and cashew broccoli. For dessert we had berries and homemade whipped cream, which was thick enough to hold Sean's birthday candle.

The boys were so tired from the weekend that we shipped them off to bed at 6:30, none the wiser.

Now bring on the snow!
