Between holidays

This feels like the first actual free time in a long time, but then again, the whole Thanksgiving weekend was free time...so other than that I guess.

• School is still going great, we're working through the periodic table and elements right now and will be until Christmas break and maybe a bit after that, then its to chemical bonds and reactions.
• It has snowed a couple times now, maybe 3-4 inches each time. Glad we don't live in the city of Chicago though. They found out that it cost the city $500,000 each time it snows to pay workers, gas, trucks, salt, etc. So they decided that they wouldn't clear the streets throughout the night, but only if/when it stopped snowing.
• Basketball has been going pretty good, its definitely a different mentality out here with kids having more opportunities to play on travel teams throughout the entire year (yes, even during the season). I took some pictures from one of the kids' facebook pages, so here you go...

• We're 5-2 right now, and just won Friday night by 3 over the team that won their summer league tournament.
• Well...less than two weeks before its back to Minnesota for the wedding, Christmas parties, and hopefully some ice fishing!

So long everybody...
