"Snow" Much Fun

Hello, friends and family! We have had a great, restful weekend! We hope you have, too.

Today was library day and Rachel went with us. Rachel and Harbor played at the puzzle tables while David and I hunted down books for Harbor William. We divided to conquer- David looked for books by Patricia Lakin (Harbor adores the Sam, Pam, Will, and Jill series), and I looked for Stephen Huneck (the Sally series is a hoot! On a sad note, Stephen committed suicide based on rough book sales in this sluggish economy. I just can't get my mind around that. We are so sad one of our favorite series has ended!) We both found what we were looking for and Harbor had a very educational nap today. On library day, we read almost all 30 picture books in one setting. Sometimes I'm amazed he can, and wants to, sit that long to hear all of them. But he does. He gets upset if he has to nap before seeing and hearing all of them.

The snow is melting today, but we may get a new batch of winter weather by Monday. I'm not a huge fan of school in June, but I do enjoy snow days. They make you stop, slow down, and stay home. Last year, the district I teach in went to school a few days over Spring Break and a few Saturdays, and we still got out in June. We skied last year with Harbor, so I thankfully had some personal days to use to get out of making up those required Spring Break days. I'm not wishing for snow, but teaching in June is okay with me, too. I am just happy to take a break when I can get one.

I have another busy week ahead of me- and lots of grading to do before Monday. I'm looking forward to time with my two boys, pj's at night in a warm house, and HGTV's, Selling New York, on Thursday night!
