Meanwhile, back at the ranch
Not too much has been going on. We had an ice storm Tuesday night and into Wednesday so Henry's school was closed. One perk of living next to a public school is that when you don't hear the school buses rumbling by, you know that there's either been a two-hour delay or it's been canceled altogether. This is convenient because it means I don't have to get out of bed extra early to check online or on the television. Instead I can turn off the alarm, roll over, and go back to sleep. Priceless.
Henry is still asking for another Christmas tree. The other night I was talking with him after tucking him in for the night and he asked if it was going to be Christmas again soon. I explained that we'd have to wait a whole year, then I rattled off all of the months between now and next December. When I was done he said "No, I want it to be Christmas, and then I just want it to be anudder Christmas." Fair enough. Sometimes I feel that way about beach vacations. Actually, I always feel that way about beach vacations.
Tomorrow we're supposed to get 7-8" of snow. If we're feeling plucky maybe we'll head out and get some sledding in. I can already hear Henry protesting once he sees the dangers that are involved in sliding down a snow-covered hill on a flimsy piece of plastic-covered foam. Perhaps there's a bit of a wild-child in him, yet.
