Evening Chorus

This evening has been a little busy. DD2 and DS both completed their homework in time to get 45minutes of sledding in before it was too dark. We have a hill behind our our house, and since we had the addition built we have a rather steep slope coverd with rocks. We've had so much snow this year that the rocks are covere with firmly packed snow and DS and friend have made a super sledding slide out of it. They had to build a couple of snowbanks near the bottom to stop themselves slamming into the trees, but they've been having a great time out there. We're due more snow on Wednesday (6-12 inches are forecast) so it will add to the fun, I am sure.

After dinner, DD2 had to return to school to participate in the 6th grade concert. The first half of the program was presented by the 6th Grade Band, which were amazingly good for 11/12 year olds. The second half was a selection of songs sung by the 6th Grade Chorus, which is comprised of virtually every student who doesn't play an instrument. There are about 200 kids in the chorus but they performed very well. I was quite impressed.

I have now acquired a web page which I'm going to put together soon, and hopefully I'll be able to free up some disk space on my laptop. It's funny how it starts to 'feel' heavy and sluggish when it's got too much data on it. Anyway, I'll keep you posted about that.

I have a lot to do this week - suddenly I know a lot of people who have birthdays at this time of year so I have gifts to buy. cards to send and people to call. I've just heard that UPS is going to deliver DD1's (belated) present tomorrow, but that they need a signature. All they can say is that they will deliver between 7am and 7pm! Not very helpful at all. Ah well.

All for now!
