A Week With the Boys-- and Snow!

We had our first real New England snowstorm (here, big is 1-2 feet, this Sierra Nevada girl rolls her eyes). James and I house-sat/kid-sat for the Hudson's this week--Tuesday and Wednesday were both snow days for everyone. For big storms in Boston they shut down the schools, public transportation, and put driving bans in effect so everyone is forced to stay home.

I'm not complaining.

We had two restful and fun days at home--made good food, sat by the fire, played in the snow a bit, watched movies, played card games, and even had a few games of hide and seek in the house. It was definitely a blast and at the same time I was thankful to get back to real life on Wednesday.

A week living with three boys has been--interesting. At times I have felt completely outnumbered and I have no idea what they are even talking about, and at other times they are all so helpful I feel blessed to spend time with them. Tickle fights, competitions, video games, noises--you get it. Sometimes I just shake my head and walk away.

The lack of posting here comes from the desire to re-do, revamp, change, move, redesign, my blog. Feeling the need for something a little more grown up now that I've graduated. (!!) Though I'm also torn because I've been writing here for years and I've never regretted keeping everything in the same place. It is a treasure to wander back to my Oxford entries still--and I'm always finding out about new people who have continued to read my entries that I had no idea actually still read them.

Thanks for sticking with me--and know that I already have a few more in the works.
