All dug out, again

Another foot of snow fell. We spent the morning shoveling. Thankfully, one of my neighbors with a snow blower did our sidewalk, again. When it snows is when I really dislike living on a corner. He also did the corners and dug out the fire hydrant. He is a prince. Meanwhile, it still took me and the children 2 hours to shovel out the driveway and the walk to the door.

All that shoveling was worth the effort when we made it to Discussion Group. Everyone had a great story. One of the girls had the funniest story of all. Hers was all about how she did not want to do the writing assignment about the picture. Very clever. They all did well. Little Miss wrote a story about a fun race and Mister B wrote about trying to find a buried treasure (along the lines of It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world). This is the photo they all used:

The kids really enjoyed it and it is nice to see their growth at presenting. When the group first started 2 years ago it was like pulling teeth to get them to go up in front and share. Now they were all anxious to go as soon as possible. One of the goals when we set up the group was to give the kids the experience of presenting to a group and it nice to see that the goals are being met.
