More snow

Jack is getting better at shoveling, 

but still needs some reminders to not pile it where we are trying to clear.

George

Jack did this watercolor painting of George at school during "famous people" week.

I think it is pretty fantastic.

Ice Skate

On Friday we took Jack to a local rink for his first try at ice skating.  He did pretty well and really seemed to enjoy it.  Jack also enjoyed sitting on the bleachers after coming off the ice and watching the zamboni and then seeing the "hockey guys" come out and play for a little bit.  

When Derrick suggested to Jack maybe going to see a hockey game sometime Jack responded, "I don't want to watch hockey, I want to PLAY hockey!"  Although Derrick's heart may have exploded after that statement, I think we will take it slow and try going to the rink a couple more times so Jack can practice actually skating and see if he maintains an interest.

Snow Day

We enjoyed the after effects of the ideal snowstorm today.  Ideal because it snowed overnight on Saturday and we had no important plans on Sunday, only 3-4 inches of snow so it was easy to clean up, enough for Jack to play in, Derrick got to use the new snowblower, and warm enough to stay outside for a couple of hours.
