Blizzard 2016

We're just about to begin snow day #4. Over the weekend about 30 inches of snow fell here in the DC area, and to be honest, we've been having a great time!  Play dough, origami, cooking, yoga, outdoor adventures, watching Robin Hood, and legoing have filled our time.  Hersh has really enjoyed the days, and hasn't been too restless.  He is now at age where he makes great choices and can occupy himself.  He is very competent and willing to help.  AlteLu has been enjoying making "hanukah soup" and telling us that Hoppy is her little sister.  With each trip out in the snow her
"snow legs" are getting stronger, and she is realizing how fun it is to play in the snow.  Hersh and I have been doing origami in preparation for his student spotlight.  They say tomorrow will be another snow day....hopefully Abba will stay home again!  He is the best Abba and a very good shoveler!

Brrrrrr........

It's chilly now. So cold that hats, gloves, socks, and jackets are all necessary, and even we dont want to play outside:(  This weekend Aunt Mimi and DanDan visited from Philly which was a treat.  Hersh and Daniel spent some time creating an amazing recording of Yesterday, and AlteLu tried convincing Aunt Mimi that our house could become Mimi's permanent home as well.
We've been enjoying UNO after bath and winter activities, such as baking and painting.  Summer plans are beginning to take form, as are school plans for next year.
Hersh can read now, which is incredible, and AlteLu is a fabulous storyteller.
