Crammin' several entries into one quick one

oh I have so many things I'm blogging in my head! But here's a quick babbling of a few of them, lest they never make it into print ... er ... electrons.

snow - we had an ice storm predicted but instead we got a great snow with big fat puffy snowflakes - huge ones, falling clumped together the size of cotton balls! It was cool. I got a video of the fat flakes, maybe I'll get it posted later. Early in the day the layer of packing snow was too thin to do much with, but I made the big kids shovel one last time at bedtime and then play outside in back in the dark and they built snowmen and had a snowball fight and thought that playing outside when it was DARK and BEDTIME was the greatest thing evah.

I have lots of other pix but no time to prep and post them.

Other stuff - the girls sang in their holiday concert and sang beautifully.

And then the Big 4 children and I went to see "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown" last night and it was so fun! I was glad to see the children enjoying it so much, I wasn't sure how much they would like a play. And it was especially fun for me because I played Lucy in a production of it when I was in junior high! Although I wasn't half as good as the lady who played Lucy last night. But it was fun to re-live all the songs and lines. Anyway, it was great.

This morning I went to take frozen waffles out of the freezer (oooh, fancy breakfast) and some helpful child had opened the bag at both ends, and so when I pulled it out, frozen waffle pucks rained down all around Buzz, nearly beaning him. What a traumatic start to his day!

Anyway. Lots more to blog, but we're having friends over today so I need to run!
