The kids spent most of the day tearing around the house, wrestling, playing basketball (NT was trying to teach Lizzy how to play after he saw the Timberwolves game last night), building pillow forts, and jumping off the furniture onto the pillow forts.

NT listened to an entire Encyclopedia Brown book on CD.

In the late afternoon both kids spent almost two hours playing outside in the snow with the neighbors.

This evening John and NT watched a fascinating segment on 60 Minutes about Birdmen and then NT retired to bed to work on a spelling workbook.
