Our family enjoyed another snow day in central PA. No school for the kids today, which was a bummer for Annabelle. I think her brother and sisters quite enjoy the days off, but Annabelle still has that “I like school” thing going on.
At some point in the day Levi bolted for Slab Cabin and a day/night at his buddy Cam’s house. I hope they haven’t destroyed the place. That meant that Kim and the girls got to spend some quality time sans boys.
I came home as Kim was heading out to run Lilly and Sadie to their music class. Evangeline stopped over to spend a couple of hours with Annabelle. They were wiing it up in the living room. Annabelle is getting the hang of tennis, and Evangeline had her hands full! It’s so much fun to listen to Annabelle talking with Evangeline. When the other girls came back home, Evangeline went all crafty on them, and they made some sweet cards for people. Annabelle wrote out a card for Joyce, and even let me take a peek. I couldn’t read a word of it, since it’s in Chinese, but I gave her high marks for penmanship and creativity.
We invited Evangeline to stay for supper. Much to Annabelle’s disappointment, we had spaghetti. She pointed out that this is the second time we’ve tried to pass this meal off as noodles. She still doesn’t like it, but I think it’s only a matter of time. Just wait til I tell her she’s eating deer meat! That should be hilarious!
Kim and I took the girls to the dollar theater to see Old Dogs tonight. It’s a pretty corny and predictable movie, but we liked it. Annabelle likes the movies, but it could be about the vat of popcorn and the drink big enough to bathe in.
Back at the ranch, all the girls piled into our bed and I read a couple of chapters in Sadie’s book. It was fun seeing all the girls snuggled under blankets, legs all entwined and feet poking out of the covers. They all looked peaceful and content.
That’s a pretty good night, even if spaghetti doesn’t count, don’t you think?
