Cold day, slow start

Today in Minneapolis it hasn't been this cold since March--17 degrees F. Luke left about his usual time with his pile of kids in his truck, but he couldn't scrape off the windows very fast, so they sat in the car while he drove around the school parking lot across the street trying to warm up the car.

Meanwhile, the girls are complaining of aches, so I called in sick for them. Christina was hit in the head by a soccer ball yesterday, so this morning she was a bit dizzy--although she seemed fine last evening. One more drama in the saga of life.

Meanwhile, Tim has painted the upstairs bathroom blue, so it looks very nice, and now I am motivated to get it all cleaned up for Inga's presentation on Moldova here on Sunday evening. Luke has painted his room red and black--two black walls and two red walls. Before he painted it, he and Tim sprayed some mud on the walls to texture them. It is a cool effect, especially for a kid in a hard core band. Now he needs to set up the drum set again and get everything back in the room.

So, I got out and walked early so I could tackle all of this stuff today--I guess it's always good to have a reason to get an early start.

Till next time,

Suzi
