We heard that the groundhog didn't see his shadow this morning...hooray! It certainly feels like it might be an early spring this year. Last week someone mentioned that it's almost February, and I was struck by the fact that the kids haven't had any school closures (yet) due to the snow or super cold days. So far this has been a pretty mild winter. I don't want to jinx it, but after last year's polar vortex and super snowy days, this is a blessing. In fact, it's going to be in the 40's today! What?! We've been told that all of the snow won't melt, but maybe it'll help thaw the ground a bit,
The kids had fun at school this week...Ava went skiing for the first time on Tuesday (full day field trip with all 6th graders) and she loved it! She wants to go again, so...now we have to figure that out. :) Even though I'm from Colorado, I am not a skier. And Scott hasn't been skiing in years, so...one of us will need to get back on the skis and give it a whirl. Ava refuses to go on the chair lift due to the height, so she became a master tow-rope user. She did come home with a funny story...apparently someone in front of her didn't move all of the way off of the tow-rope, and Ava ended up hitting that person. Ava's skis popped up, and then all of the kids behind her started to fall down. Ha! I'm imagining a line of dominoes on the tow-rope, slowly being knocked over (no one got hurt, so I can laugh.)
G had a fairly good week at school and came home with a super cute groundhog hat on Friday. He was hoping that Phil wouldn't see his shadow this morning, and when I told him, he clapped his hands and yelled "early spring!"
I had a very busy week with evening plans most nights...a work happy hour on Monday, a musical with friends on Tuesday, and a dinner/movie out with another friend on Wednesday. By Thursday, I was so exhausted, I was in bed before 8:30, and was sleeping before 9. When Friday rolled around, I was much more rested, and able to tackle the last day of the work week.
I ended the week with a wonderful late lunch out with my mom on Saturday. It's not very often that I have a chance to just spend time with my mom, and it was a great chance to chat for a few hours, and enjoy each other's company. I love you, Mom!
Scott has been working to clean up the last bits of construction from the basement, so we can get the taping/mudding/ceiling work done. We were hoping to have it started last week, but there was a delay, so hopefully tomorrow, it will be underway. We're excited to have additional spaces to use in the house. I'm already thinking ahead to wall colors, furniture, bar area, etc. Fun!
We'll be watching the Superbowl tonight, but will keep it low key. Scott's heading out now to get ribs, wings, and some other apps. Perfect food to munch on while watching the commercials (and maybe part of the game. Ha.) None of us care who wins the game today, we're just happy the Patriots aren't in it again!
