I slept in today because (out of many reasons) it was so DARK! I woke up at 7:45 and my alarm clock was on, and there was hardly any light coming from behind the blinds, and now as I write this there is some really wet snow coming down. Eli and Jonah have yucky coughs so I decided to keep them home from preschool. And with the icky weather I just felt like keeping Ethan home from school too. We made waffles (with whipped cream) for breakfast, and now the kids are playing in the basement. Today will be a day for reading, baking (I'm gonna make pumpkin bread with LOTS of chocolate chips!), and playing with brothers. Janie Kate might squeeze in a nap or two. Curtis, we miss you, come home and join us anytime!
