Beautiful orangey-red sunrise this morning reflected on the frozen lake. Two problems: I was awake with the kids to see the sunrise and the lake is still frozen. We've been talking to the kids about signs of spring, but there really aren't many.
Zoë, after a month of perfect going to bed-ness has reverted to her previous conviction that it's much better to scream and yell before falling asleep. This too shall pass. Right?
On the bright side, Jacob ends nearly every day, or meal, or trip, or event by saying (and meaning) "that was really fun". Not a lot of existential angst in that boy. He also has a best buddy (besides Molly) whom he is inseparable from at school. Their teacher said to me yesterday, "it's great how close Jacob and Silas are - now he doesn't follow Molly's lead, or suggestions, all the time". That isn't always the dynamic at home, so it's interesting to hear others' perspectives.
I spent much of the weekend playing in an oldtimers hockey tournament. Apparently that puts me in perpetual marital debt because in the last two nights we've watched one Jennifer Aniston movie and gone out to a Matthew McConaghey movie and Kate says we're not even close to square. Always negotiate the terms in advance.
