Happy Birthday Month!

Anna will be a big one-year-old next week, and Sophia will be turning seven the week after that, so we're getting ready to enjoy some birthday fun and try to get our minds off of sad things and too much snowy coldness. We got 6 inches yesterday but it was too cold to go out and play in it, so we're feeling a bit cooped up.

We heard a rumor that tomorrow is International Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day, but I can't substantiate it. We plan to eat ice cream for breakfast tomorrow just in case. :)

Margaret obtained this book with her Christmas gift card, so we're spending our time making very cute things that we will photograph and post here asap.

First Post.... by Margaret

This is my first post on the blog that I bugged Mom forever to create. I hope to post what we are up to , and some of our favorite movies, books, and recipes.We were studying composers such as Mozart and Tchaikovsky (did I spell that right?) this morning and listening to the second aria of The Magic Flute in opera REALLY loud. This afternoon we were serving tea in kimonos, and eating leftover rice balls on a low table. We have been busy, at least I have.

I have been reading a lot of fantasy books such as Eragon, Dragon Rider.... I am looking forward to reading Eragon's sequel Eldest. I have also been reading some books by Eva Ibbotson. She wrote Star of Kazan, which I really liked and I am reading Which Witch.

I better sign out.
