.snow and school.

We have had one of the mildest winters I can remember! Hardly any snow, but cold enough not to be able to play outside. Its been hard to have the kids inside so much and not have any snow to play or sled in. The few storms we've had seem to have fallen on the weekends, which is great for the kids who are always anxious to got outside and play in it.

TJ (and I) have been busy at work on his very first big school project and oral report. He was to report on a continent and he chose, South America. We spent a few hours on his poster and then he got to work on the written report. He could write it or type it out. He chose to type it and once into it was frustrated because it was taking too long. I told him it was good practice, because he'll be typing reports for school for many years to come. We worked on his oral report and he had some funny ad libs he wanted to include. They day of his report he said went well. I wanted so bad to be a fly on the wall in his class that day! Especially when he got his grade and besides getting all possible points, his teacher made the comment how good his oral was and how it was full of so much personality! I have no doubt it was! She said she 'loved it'!
