I guess the most exciting thing that has happened here since last week is that the kids were out of school two extra days recently.  Last Friday, they were out because of the very low temps and yesterday they were out because of icy streets.  We actually had a dusting of snow and the boys made the very most of it.  They scraped up as much as they could and had a snowball fight.  I'm hoping for an even better snow before Spring gets here. :-)
