The last six weeks or so have been pretty brutal around here. Currently we officially have 21 inches of snow in the metro - with more expected this weekend. The temps have been averaging 20 below normal - which means hovering around 0. Still, despite some cancellations (5 days of school so far), our calendar has remained full, and for that I am thankful. Lydia and I went to see a play - Mr. Popper's Penguins - after reading the book and watching the movie. Of the three, I liked the book the best. Lydia had a Valentine's party with some of her girlfriends - and Brett. Milo got a pet fish - Odell. The kids had their school carnival and won lots of sugar. The neighborhood turkey couple got displaced from their normal path. We went to five films at the omni-theatre at the science museum. There's been plenty of sledding and playing in the snow, and, obviously, wrestling!
I definitely prefer the book (Mr. Popper's Penguins) to the movie. Haven't seen it as a play!
