Anniversary and Snow

Well, another week has come and gone. It's amazing how fast it goes. Last Saturday Courtney had a debate tournament. She and her partner took first in one of their rounds, so that was fun for them. Brittney audtitioned for a part in the 6th grade play. She didn't get the one she wanted, but she is Sophocles and she's happy with that. Courtney is reading Oedipus Rex right now, so she's like... Um, your character has a pretty twisted mind. :)

Thursday was our anniversary. We went out to the Olive Garden for dinner and Sean brought me 16 roses for 16 years. That is a crazy amount of time.



Friday night I wanted to go see the production of Les Mis that my school is putting on. I was too tired, though, and Sean really wanted to finish rebuilding his carburator, so I just stayed home and cleaned. I'm going to try to see it one night this week. Courtney went last night and said they did such a great job.

Saturday Sean went up the canyon to shovel the snow off the roof of the cabin. There's quite a bit of snow up there this year! We have had some pretty good storms.



The snow comes almost halfway up the door


This is looking at the neighbor's property. There is like a 6 foot snowdrift at the property line where the snow has been plowed up.


This is the roof-- that's how much snow he took off.

I really hated him getting up there because I worry that it will collapse. The cabin needs so much work. We need to fix the subfloor, but first the roof leak has to be fixed, and the walls needs some serious work, and then my head starts to explode thinking about it all.

And finally, my list of "The Things That Must Go":

Germs. Sean is getting sick again. If we all get it, I will... I don't know. Something drastic.

Sunday nights.

Kids who complain.

Messes, and the kids who make them.

That's about it for now. I'm off to make dinner and watch the Amazing Race. Pulling for TK and Rachel or Nick and Don.
