I have a cool kid! (or two, or three)

Yesterday was a snow day, so McKenna spent most of the day reading HP#3 so she could move on to HP#4 (I'm uncool and don't know the names). She had a friend stop by to play in the afternoon and announced that she'd been reading this Harry Potter book all day. E says, "I like watching the movies better, don't you?" McKenna answers, "Um, no. I like reading them much better." Yay! I'm so happy that she loves to read :) Jakob is also becoming an avid reader and has started reading HP#1, although I think it's probably a little above his level. We told him to come ask us if he was having trouble with any of the words.

Joshua is recovering nicely from his surgery. His main problem time is first thing in the morning and his throat really seems to bother him most then. Today is his last day for abx and he should be able to eat normally by this time next week. The soft & cold diet isn't his favorite, but he has eaten mashed potatoes and scrambled eggs to his little heart's content!

We have the Christmas tree up and decorated, have put out all the little seasonal decorations around the house and just need to get the outside done. Hopefully it'll warm up just a little so we can get the lights hung before it snows again. I may venture out this evening after I drop Kenna off at Scouts to pick up some new lights and much needed groceries!
