Togetherness

     Well folks, it is Spring Break!  Yes!  Taxes are complete and all is well at the foot of Y mountain, except that it is snowing profoundly!  What is up with that?  I can't believe this weather!  It has made it an inside day all the way, since there is so much water in the snow that snow sport is not part of the storm.  So . . . what to do with these energetic kidos who continue to have CABIN FEVER?  

     At this moment, the oldest three kids are having remote control car races on tracks prepared down the hall and around the round about of the kitchen and living room.  This was only accomplished after a trip to the dollar store to replenish batteries, and thanks to the remote cars given to us by friends who moved overseas.  Siblinghood and tears are getting equal amounts of time in this effort.  The big brother knows how to share as long as he gets the strongest car of the bunch.  The little sisters know how to turn on the tears when things are not going their way!  Don't worry, Seneti and I are doing a great job of being the ref's and before you know it the batteries will run out, or someone will send a car down the steps for instant crash dramatics. Then, we'll be off to different adventures on this snowy day!  

      It was wonderful to sleep in a bit this morning, and get some projects accomplished that have been on the waiting list!  It's not every Wednesday that you can have family time in the middle of the day!
