Weekend Report

It was a quiet weekend with lots of outdoor time. Restful and relaxing, except for occasional bouts of temper-tantrums from the girls.

What got done:

·         Family hike (there was some whining and complaining, but, once again, nature won everyone over)

o   Kids enjoyed ice-covered puddles

o   E. told C stories.

o   I spent part of the hike “in my head” – much needed day-dreaming, looking at the blue sky, and thinking – while the rest of the family kept themselves busy.

·         C and I looked at snowflakes through the magnifying glass (snowflakes were amazing…).

·         Kids practiced their instruments.

·         E. went for a brief walk with his best friend (masked).
