S is for….

Silence

I finished up another book today and I love that I can start on a new one tonight!  I have already read T is for Trespass (back in December) so now I’m on to U is for Undertow and that will complete the series until V is written.

Winter Time!

Do you remember being a kid and going outside ALL day and crying when it was time to go inside?  I do – even in the middle of winter I loved being outside.  We got a good amount of snow last night and since Luke set eyes on it this morning all he wanted to do was go outside – how could I resist?

Joseph had his first sleep over last night so when he came home, he immediately fell asleep.  I bundled Luke up and out we went.  Steve had just snowplowed so there was a huge snow pile – I started digging a small hole telling Luke I’d make him an igloo but we decided to turn it into a tunnel that came out the other side.  In the middle we made a big area where they can sit and hide.  I know forts like that can be dangerous and collapse (speaking from experience) but the boys are never outside unsupervised so all is safe! 

I dug and shoveled snow for two hours.  I can only imagine how I’m going to feel in the morning.  And to top it all off – I start a new job!

(yeah that is our cat’s hind end above Luke’s head – he played in the fort too)

Book Two

 

I just finished my second book of the year

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest

by Stieg Larsson

This is the third book in Steig Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy and it was just a great as the other two.  I was immediately hooked when I picked up The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and then I flew through book two - The Girl Who Played with Fire.
