Snow, Fire, Special Olympics

Guy's trip to Arlington went well. Grandma Gohl's funeral was on Saturday. He was able to see lots of family, he stayed with his parents, and was able to play with his brother Tom. It was a quick trip and we picked him up Sunday from the airport. I'm glad he was able to go.

The snow fort that was started on Friday got finished. Three bins high with a roof. I don't have a picture, but I should probably take one. Nico and Evie went outside to play on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday mornings. By Saturday Nico wasn't as interested in the snow and only stayed out a little while.

Sunday evening, Jeff and Allicia lit a fire in their fire place and Nico and I joined them (Guy needed sleep so he was napping). Nico and Evie brought blankets up near the fire, and pillows, to lie down and watch the flames. Jeff was next to them too, answering all of Nico's questions about the fire and the ashes.


There are also a few more pictures from Nico's school.

Nico says: "Making a house"

Nico says: "Making an H"

Nico told me he doesn't want to go to school tomorrow and I asked him why and he said because they had a fire drill today. I asked him if he didn't want them to have another fire drill and his answer was that it was a practice fire drill and that it wasn't real. I asked him if the sound was loud. He imitated it and told me it was a small sound, not loud. I couldn't get a definite answer from him as to whether he didn't want another fire drill or if it scared him or something, he just kept repeating that it was a practice fire drill and that he didn't want to go to school tomorrow. Hmm! 

Did I mention that Nico participated in the Special Olympics? I don't remember! Last last week they took his class by bus to the BSU stadium to participate in the special olympics. I'm hoping for some pictures soon to share. I'm not sure exactly what he participated in, perhaps the pictures will reveal it to me. I wasn't able to discern any of it by asking Nico. 

Guy gets all of next week off, Thanksgiving week! Friday night is his last day of work for about 10 days. And it looks like he won't be moving to days anytime soon. Bummer. But he finished his program and he implemented it and people are using it! 

Until next week…
