i often wake up and find toe shoes sitting around in what i think are the oddest places . . like opening my curtains in the morning to find them yawning at me on the windowsill. i suppose, like all of us, they like a change of scenery and a little morning sunshine.
it's very cold this morning: 10 degrees, real feel supposedly minus 3. greg donned his long underwear for the walk to the train station. tomorrow it goes into the upper 20's again, low 30's, which it has been consistently for the past few weeks. the sun is out, which makes it feel warmer, and i even heard a cardinal this morning. they must know that spring is just around the corner (one of my favorite frog and toad stories). chanda and her ballet classmates have been cheered by the light still shining through their school's studio windows at 5:30 pm.
Eva and I have missed your postings! I figured you were busy with visitors. Eva and I had an across the pond convo the other night, you can read it on the let them eat cake post! So funny!
ReplyDeleteLove to you and belated birthday wishes to Greg!
Xx
i miss reading your postings! i look forward to catching up with the two of you :)
DeleteWe thought you might be sick (or I even thought maybe somebody had died). Good to see that neither one is true. It is a shame that it is so cold. I can't even send the children out right now. They come back after five minutes because the wind is really bad. Peter drove them to ballet last night because of the cold. Our car as stalled several times and doesn't like the cold either.
ReplyDeleteyes, i was thinking of you and of the children and how it would be too cold to play outside. i had to drive to connecticut/sturbridge last month in 10 degree weather and i was actually worried about the car since it was so cold. luckily, it all went well, but i'm glad it was 0 degrees like it is by you! i can empathize with your car!
Deletep.s. yes, i got your email. did you get my response?
DeleteDriving far in the cold is always tricky and sometimes scary. Peter doesn't trust our car anymore and thinks we might need a new one. Jonathan has been looking up cars for him.
DeleteNo, I didn't get a reply. Did you use my regular gmail address?
P.S. Charlotte always leaves hers on the living-room floor for people to trip over, especially at night. NO FUN!
ReplyDeleteooohhhh, one has to wonder . . do they just get distracted in the middle of "playing" with them? or i guess they practice, take them off and then leave them to get pjs on . . . .
DeleteMaybe I should suggest to her that they would like to be up on a windowsill instead :).
ReplyDeleteha ha, that's funny and made me smile. next time you find them in the middle of the rug, put them on the windowsill with a note from them saying they prefer "a room with a view."
DeleteI will tell her that and show her your picture. Then we might have to read "A Room with a View."
DeleteIt's one of my favorite movies too!
DeleteI have watched the movie (I think in German, though) and I loved it.
