This week has been school vacation week, not that the young Exiles really needed a week off having seemingly had every other day since Christmas off due to snow (I exaggerate but that's how it feels). It wasn't a terribly active vacation. The young Exiles' main ambition was to stay in their pajamas all day, every day. Occasionally they succeeded but I did insist on the usual haircuts and trips to the dentist.
Sometimes, they changed back into their pajamas having completed their duties for the day. Nor did wearing pajamas prevent them from playing in the snow. They just pulled their snow pants and other gear on over the top. They were very single minded about the pajamas.
We also had to buy a new pair of sneakers for E5N1, who lost one somewhere between home and school. We'll probably find it when the snow melts. So, that will be June, I guess.
Today, we made up for all this antisocial behavior by dashing out of the house, muffins in hand, for brunch at HopeGateWay. Instead of the usual gathering we ate breakfast and chatted. It was a really nice way to round off the week. Tomorrow back to the usual routines and dare I say it, there isn't a snow storm in the forecast for this week. Maybe we'll have a full week of school.
