Enthusiasm

Tonight she is so excited about going to snowboarding school tomorrow that she says she can't go to sleep. Ahh, victory.  Prayed for her enthusiasm about living here and about leaving friends.  She was the only one not excited about coming.  Plus, our architect/friend who lives here, has an 8 year old daughter that loves horses and she is coming over tomorrow.  Maybe I should put away half of C's my little pony collection, the last trace of our overindulgence of life in the bubble.
No school books yesterday so Lucas learned that you can play Texas Hold Em' and Solitaire without being on the computer.  Amazing.  C has learned the art of addressing envelopes.  Still working on it.  Today I was told by our architect that I should have been the project manager for the house.  Duh.  Maybe the house would have been completed if I'd been in charge!!  It is coming along but I'm up there daily, making decisions, redoing some, and just admiring how beautiful it's going to be.  Hopefully middle of next week.  Hopefully.
Missing Madeline.  Even though her 2nd mom is taking super duper good care of her, I'm still wishing she were here.  She has applied to work in the cafeteria and at the ski school.  I'm thinking ski school would be better.  Met 2 sweet young woman that work there, and I know I like the woman in charge.  Lucas likes to hang out in the cafeteria.  He comes home telling about the guys throwing ice cubes and putting salt in each other's glasses.  Hmmm, which would Madeline prefer.
