Winter Wonderland

I have to admit it's nice to wake up to snow when I know I am not going to drive in it. Martin Luther King Day is today and all the children are home and till asleep. The boys have been out and ran their noses thru the snow until they were cold. It's so pretty outside. The triplets will love sledding down the hill later. I'm having oyster stew for breakfast. It's just me and it was there staring at me. Easy to heat up and crush a million crackers in. I'm going to sew today and I'm just wanting to stay relaxed. SO, no marathon cooking for 8-9 people. The 13 year-olds had a guest stay over.

I tried to get some pics of the boys but they didn't cooperate so I'm posting a photo from the last nice snow. It's my Donnan. The lover boy. I love Cairns. Donnan likes to look pitiful and talk to me. He likes to sit on my feet and cuddle. He's my Sweetie Boy.

Snow Day!

I love Snow Days! I love it when all and I do mean ALL of the kids are home. I love letting them sleep late. It's a decadent feeling for them on a school day. I love having time to make a big breakfast or lunch depending on when they awake. I love hearing them play in the snow and coming in laughing and shivering with red cheeks.
To update yesterday's drama, K's vice principal is a very unhappy person and should not be in a position of authority over preteens. I ended up speaking to a wonderful man at the school board and hopefully something will be worked out with both parties. Gosh, I miss homeschooling. I know K missed her friends but life was a lot easier and we were rarely sick in this house. Makes me sad. I really do miss it but I understand a child's need to be social at this age and we did not have it to the degree they wanted it. It was fun while it lasted and they are definitely better for it.
