    Timmy has been very busy building some of his new Lego sets he got for his birthday- this one is from the Lego Movie. “It’s Lord Business’s evil lair”. Or so I’ve been told. Maybe some snow pictures tomorrow- if I can manage to bring myself to venture out.  Theres just so much of it and I’m so sick of snow.

    In other news, Timmy’s bff Jack slept over again (his parents are coming home from Hawaii really soon) and they had a great time together with a significant lack of sleeping for the sleepover. Patrick played video games most of the day (well, the part that he was actually awake for) and had some baseball coaching, and Jack is wandering around Boston when he isn’t debating at Harvard. In the blizzard. I may age by 5 years by the time he gets home Monday night.

    Regis was closed yesterday and again today (not sure why today but I’m guessing Westchester, CT and NJ got it worse that we did and for the kids traveling in from there it would be way more difficult to commute into NYC  than from here) but Jack is on his way to Harvard for the weekend thru Monday for a big debate tournament. So of course, I’m doing the worried mother thing here- long bus ride up, 12-14hr debate days, god knows what at night, long bus ride back, etc. But Harvard- hope he gets a good taste of that! And gets some sleep (yeah, right.) this weekend. I am posting this picture with (begrudgingly given) permission and was informed that I am a creepy stalker. Why this comes as a surprise to my children, I cannot tell you.

    We’ll have Timmy’s BFF overnight again tonight for a sleepover so that’ll be fun for them. And with the 937 feet of snow still outside I have a feeling they’ll be out playing for at least a little bit. I however, will not be. Again, should come as no surprise.

    Timmy had his 9th birthday party yesterday at Merrick Cinemas with about 30 boys. People told me I was brave. I think I may never recover. The Lego Movie was very cute (at least the parts I was able to watch) and all the kids had a great time! More pictures to follow once the February photo a day project is over.
