Well I think I've finally emerged from hibernation after all this cold weather and snow. Really, I have had the winter blues big time but now the snow has almost melted from the yard and the temperature is rising.
Back at the beginning of March Snow celebrated her 18th birthday. She had a little party at the house with several of friends. The girls enjoyed playing Wii Just Dance and ate Chinese food of course.
It's hard to believe Molly and Snow finish school in just over 2 months' time. That's 3 months of summer vacation. What!? Three whole months of laying in bed until noon and then finding excuses to not tidy their room. Well Molly anyway - Snow will be back in China for most of the summer then she will be back with us for her senior year. Yes, we asked her to stay another year, mainly since she is easy and fun to have around, but it seems we have to do some preparation for solo living once she goes away to college. We knew she is not much of a cook but the only thing she has been able to cook by herself is ramen noodles - the college staple! This week I started making the girls make their own lunches. Snow didn't even know how to make a sandwich. I took it for granted that she would know, but it was comical watching her struggle with not knowing how much honey mustard to use, how to put the ham on the bread and cutting the sandwich (with a totally inappropriate knife). Seriously, we have some cooking lessons to get on with. I fear I have already left it too late....but then again there's always ramen noodles!
