Another frigid day. The temperature was 15 below at 7 am. It's 6 below now (around 7:30 pm). School was closed for the second day in a row. Reed decided to stay home so he could play with his big brother. Scott got some work done, I got some work done, and the boys played together pretty well for most of the day.
Scott seems to be doing really well recovering from his surgery. It really is the best outcome that we could have hoped for.
Here's a shot of the boys playing with their "light sabers" after dinner tonight. Everything was going well for a while... let's just say that the light saber duel ended with the boys being sent to their own corner.....
Here's a poem that I received via e-mail this morning. I thought it was pretty appropriate.
COLD IS A RELATIVE THING. . . . . . .
