SNOW STINKS
I am sick of winter. I am really sick of the cold & I've had it with the snow that has fallen this winter. Last Thursday, we got about 4 inches of snow, yesterday it was almost 7 inches. We might get an inch tomorrow too. All of that combined with the unusually high amounts of snow and ice we got in December and the beginning of January has made for an unusually long winter. I can't wait for it to all melt away...although that probably won't happen until about June.
On a brighter note about the snow, once the temp gets above zero, I will take the kids out sledding & snowboarding. Hopefully, that will be sometime next week. Say a prayer!!
JAKE'S BIG NEWS
Jake has 2 big pieces of news. His proudest is that he climbed to the top of the rope in PE class. He got to add his name to the wall of kids that accomplished that this year, which for a 2nd grade boy is a HUGE deal (Allie swears that she almost made it to the top today too...I'm not so sure that I believe her).
His other big news (my proudest) is that Jacob has been invited to participate in a small group science enrichment program with the TAG (talented & gifted) teacher. He will get to use the scientific process to answer various questions such as "Is it possible for an egg to bounce without breaking?" Apparently, this unit is for kids that need an extra challenge...this doesn't mean that he has been identified as gifted...yet... :) Of course, I may be biased since he is my son.
