What the boys did after naps today:
-Raisins and cashews (for James, not Owen) for snack.
-The sacred and elaborately complicated dance of putting on snow pants, boots, mittens, and hats, removing them all again so that James could use the bathroom, and then putting them on again.
-Lucien Morin park at the bottom of the bay with a sled (or, "sleigh" as James insists on calling it)
-Climbing down the ravine and building a snow-ghost (not a snow man, that's something different) on top of a fallen tree trunk
-Climbing to the top of the ridge looking for the teepee. (We couldn't find it)
-Eating snow candy. (For the uninformed, it's exactly the same as eating regular snow)
-Holding a sled (sleigh) race down the ridge back to the car
-A snowball fight in the access path to the park. (It was almost fair, since I had to make a snowball for Owen for every snowball that I threw, and Owen always immediately threw his back at me.)
-French fries and orange juice (and beer) at MacGregor's
-Warm dry clothes at home
-A package from Nama with Bread and Jam for Francis, Noah's Ark, and a Clifford book. (All of which were read multiple times during the evening.)
-Homeschool for James with Owen riding on my back or jumping up and down on my feet the whole time--math, writing (a story about being caught in a snowstorm), a chapter from Robin Hood, and piano practice.
-Hot chocolate, made with milk
-Hanging up planet wall stickers in James' room
-Watching a video of a planet getting blown up. (Alderaan)
-Watching a video of the bad guys who blew up the planet getting blown up. (James is concerned that Darth Vader managed to fly away.)
-Looking for James' telescope so we could search for Mercury in the sky. (We didn't find the telescope or Mercury)
-Bedtime stories: Pierre for Owen, Bread and Jam for Francis again for James.
This nap has turned out to be a great experience and I wish to have same experience after my nap.
