Day Three - More Snow

The boys are here! Now I won't feel so lost without them for tonight and tomorrow. I picked up Riley and Brady from school. They were glad to see me and I was REALLY glad to see them. We got home and they played with their toys they have here for a while. Then I entertained them with the internet and YouTube. The love to go on Thomas the Train to do the games and activities. It keeps advertising the DVD "Alvin and the Chipmucks" on the website when the switch games, which is annoying. (By the way, Riley and I saw the movie and it was very cute. However, we didn't see the last ten minutes of it because the emergency alarms went off and we had to leave the building. The theater next to ours had water coming down from the ceiling. Later I found out some teens had did something to make the sprinkler system go off.) They wanted to show me the Gummy Bear song on You Tube that Kari and they found... it is at the moment their favorite song. If you check it out, be careful because she says the song gets stuck in your head.

Mark Twain wrote a short story about a jingle rhyme (they had no radio, TV, or internet then but I guess could still get the problem by reading) getting stuck in "his" head called Punch, Brothers, Punch. You can read it by clicking on the title of the story; it doesn't take long and it is funny how the poor guy finally gets the jingle out of his head.

Anyway, I took the boys to breakfast and they serve the boys Gummy Bear pancakes where we go. Bears for the eyes and a worm for the mouth. That was exciting! I had oatmeal which wasn't very exciting but good.

By the way, it began to snow again this evening after we got back. So this would be actually "day three". I hope you are having a good weekend and it looks more like spring where you are.
