It’s still a little chilly at night, but daytimes are t shirt weather, even in February. And we haven’t had to use the heater at all, which says to me the average winter visit out there will easily be survived without using the heater or wood burning stove. Next we still need to figure out our water situation. That’ll be the spring project, that hopefully won’t cost anything.
The boys loved swinging in the chair hammocks, which made me happy. Anything to get these kids off screens, right?
Speaking of screens, because Bobby is taking a game design class after school starting this Thursday, I had to buy him a laptop, something I had hoped to put off a little longer. But the fact is, he’s turning twelve in a month, he’s starting seventh grade in the summer, and he’s gotten really into making music on his iPad, which has its limits. So tonight we’ll give him his early birthday present and I’m sure he’ll be delighted, since he’s been campaigning hard for it for several months. I installed some parental software on it that will hopefully block the gnarlier adult content. Of course he wants a phone, too, but I’m putting that off as long as I can.
Now we’re scrambling to think of something equally awesome for Theo’s tenth birthday in three weeks. He has no ideas for us, and we have no ideas for him. He’s always so hard to buy for. Here’s hoping I come up with something good.
