The kids were off school last Wednesday, giving them a very long weekend. We spent Wednesday afternoon baking and cooking for Thursdays Thanksgiving meal of carbohydrates and roast beast. Our early afternoon binge was also graced by some family friends and their children as well, I don't think there was an empty belly in the group. Friday Sophia and I went to get a tree and after the boughs dropped in the warmth of the living room Lisa and the kids decorated it, while I cleaned up the ubiquitous glass shards from colored balls and snow globes. We quickly found that hardwood floors are not nearly as forgiving as wall to wall carpeting of years past. Saturday's weather felt almost more spring like than later November. We found time for a short hike, although Merrick quickly tired, partly due to the time of day and partly because he is fighting some 'kid crud.' Sunday has brought clouds and drizzle, which certainly impedes what can be done outside--we will see what we can find for entertainment.
