Brrrr!

Again, nothing new going on here! My camera is broken, so you'll notice a distinct lack of pictures in these posts! Yes, the new, 4 month old camera. And our computer has really been giving me a lot of trouble. I looked into buying a new one, but I think we may have solved some of our trouble with a $20 cooling pad. I need to take it to someone to have them clean it up and reinstall the operating system without obliterating all our files and then I think it will run a lot better.

We have had two snow-days this week. Fun for the kids for sure. But, surprisingly, they haven't even wanted to step foot outside. So we have had lots of crafts and have watched ET (Eamon's new obsession) several times, but, I'm sorry to say, we have had no snow angels, forts, or snow-ball fights. I think we would have been okay to have a delay today, but our school district, being the largest in the area, doesn't do delays, only cancellations, as we found to be the case after my last post. In my last post, I mentioned that we were waiting for snow and there might be a snow day? Well, there was a snow day, but by 8:30 am, it was only raining and 40 degrees. They don't do delays, and I guess because it's so large, they had to decide by 3 am or something. Right now, it's late in the afternoon, and my two are both quiet in their rooms. It's much too late for them to be sleeping, and I know I'll regret it later tonight, but honestly, we made cotton clay, heart shaped crayons to give out at Eamon's valentine's day party tomorrow, planted beans, made rock candy, did workbooks, watched more ET... Mommy's tired!!! So a couple of moments with the computer before jumping back into it!

Happy Valentines to all you lovebirds out there! Happy Anniversary to Mother and Dad! 49 wonderful years!! Hope you're all doing something you want to be doing to mark the day. We don't have any plans really, but it would be nice just to hang out with each other -- he's been so busy at work lately! So maybe a heart-shaped pizza and some strawberry jello...

Hope you're all well! We miss you all.
