Above freezing!

snowaball.JPGJan. 31: The kids and I are having a great day today.  Bryan is doing a chess tournament at the technical college.  Andrew’s still got a bad cough, so since he’s sick, I let him watch Lion King.  He’s watched Robin Hood dozens of times, and he watches segments of animal documentaries nearly daily, but he’s only seen other feature-films rarely.  Having watched Lion King a couple times in the past couple years, he was nervous about the scary parts.  We talked about them a lot, and he’s very intrigued with this new movie.
Sylvia took a good hour-and-a-half nap this morning, and then we bundled up and went to the Overture Center for a Kids in the Rotunda performance.  Afterwords we met up with Terry for lunch at the Plaza.  It felt so nice to walk around outside when it was not bitterly cold.  I think the thermometer said 36 degrees.  That’s about twenty degrees over what it’s been recently, and we enjoyed it!
Sounds like Bryan’s home now, so I’ll run.  Have a great weekend!
