Ahhh.... Such a lovely first day of spring! We don't need tulips and daffodils. Why would I want to feel grass between my toes? Isn't it more fun to pull on snow boots over two layers of socks? Actually I feel really bad for the migratory birds that have already made their way this far. They are probably so confused right now. "Did we fly the right direction?"
I'm staying in today baking chocolate chip pies to stuff my family members with at Easter celebrations. The good thing about today's storm is it should be over by tomorrow. I'm also grateful it's hitting us on Good Friday. DH is home from work! Yeah!
More great news! The Badgers won last night!! I had to stop watching at the half because I was scared they'd blow it. The boys and I retreated into the bedroom to watch Shredderman. After the game DH and the boys headed to the boycave to celebrate the victory with a few rounds of pinball on the Wii. I passed out asleep.
DS12 has decided to write a book and doesn't want to use the PC. He wants to use my old typewriter. He says he likes the feel of the keys and their strike on the page. (I can't help but remember he's recently watch Misery with DH.) He has decided to write it with the chapters in chaotic order, for example, chapter 17 first, then chapter 3, then chapter 21 etc. This sounds really ambitious. I don't think I could write this way. I'd have to write the book in order and then rearrange them. It will be interesting to see if he is successful, but one thing is for sure. It will teach him more about writing.
Well the rest of my crew is now awake. I'm off to heat up the oven and get the pies baking.

Our spring looks just like yours!! What a great way to start spring break for the kids! I was so excited to do "outside" things this week with them, but NO!! I can't wait to see you guys tomorrow! I still have to venture out and get veggie pizza ingredients..... and eggs!!! Today will be the only time we have to color eggs! I would love to see DN12's book when it is done, I am sure it will be interesting to to say the least!!
Wow you have lots of snow. My daffodils are getting ready to bloom. Our neighbor's daffodils have already bloomed. Looks like yours might take a bit longer. lol Chocolate chip pies sound yummy. I don't think I could write a book that way either. Interesting to see how it turns out. Stay safe + warm. Have a Happy Easter!
Holy crow, l couldn't wait to get rid of the typewriter. Is is a manual? He is one ambitious young man. We had a nice day here, breezy but nice. Hope your Easter is a good one.
One more thing, keep warm.
What an ambitious project for DS12...especially the out of order chapters! Good luck to him and you'll have to provide us with a snippet when he is done. :-)
Yuck...I bet that white stuff is heading our way. :-(
Our first day of spring has actually turned out pretty nice! I think it really might come!
I still have my typewriter, but I don't know if it would work. I wonder if the cartridge thingy is all dried up.
What a neat idea for your son to use the old typewriter. I can hear him tapping now. :) I wonder how long he'll use it before he misses the ease of corrections when using the pc. LOL Skipping around with the chapters is a neat idea. Kind of like what was done with the whole Star Wars set of movies. :)
You definitely got a lot of snow! We don't get much in the south. :( We got about 3-4 inches a few weeks ago and you'd have thought we had a huge snowfall with folks outside making crumbly snowmen from the soft snow. LOL
