Only one missed bus (Noah) and one refusal to wear a coat (Sarah), but the three eldest returned to school today. Evan wept when they left. The afternoon should bring tired, cranky children with homework for the first time in weeks. Tonight I have a Girl Scout cookie meeting. Next year Amy will be selling cookies. Shudders.

The ground is too warm for it to stick, but the air is filled with frozen white stuff. Beautiful. Sarah should have worn a coat. grumble, grumble.
