Today mr. jolt and the boys dropped me off at work so I got to listen to the boys’ current favorite music. They ask for these by track number on the cds; they know mr. jolt’s car music selection well.
BB: current fave song: The Boxer by Simon & Garfunkel
LB: current fave song: Given Up* by Linkin Park
Hmmm.
*We have the bleeped cd to avoid the f-bombs on the original.

Snow is one of the reasons to have kids.
It started snowing about 4:30 today, and if I didn’t have kids I would have simply looked out the window and thought “how pretty”, made myself a cup of tea, and sat in a cozy chair reading a book, periodically looking out the window and thinking “how pretty.”
Because I have kids, I never had an opportunity to sit down. But, a half hour into the snowfall the boys cried “SNOW!” and bustled themselves into coats, boots & mittens and ran outside. mr. jolt soon followed. I could not resist and bundled up and ran out.
Out in the dark, the snow fell like a million little diamonds, just wet enough to make perfect snowballs. Dodge-snow-ball ensued, followed by hot chocolate.
Glorious.
