a pink card...What?

Early one morning I am up with the children snuggling on the couch. Robin notices that I don’t have my glasses one so she asks, “Mommy, you don’t have you sun glasses on?” I explain that I do not sleep with my glasses on. After her questioning why, Nicholas responds quickly with “because they keep her eyes open all night long.”

Robin:

Toaster Strudel = “toastry” (with no attempt at Strudel)
Oatmeal = “oakmilk”

Everyone seems to be doing well. I am the latest patient with a cold and sinus issues, but noting that a lot of sleep wont fix. Heck, I want a lot of sleep all the time, what an I talking about?

Haven’t had time to clean off the camera. Lots of fun snow pictures on there from last weekend. I’ll have to get those posted soon.

Today Nicholas had to pull ALL of his cards at school and got in trouble on the buss for poking holes in the seats with a pen. After picking up Robin and Rob we were having this conversation in the car. It started with Nicholas telling daddy “I have some bad news Daddy”. After some explanation Robin chimes in “I didn’t have to pull my pink card today” [Robin has no card system]

P.S. here's Ray's Weather Trampoline Snow Contest Winners
Ninety people submitted answers in yesterday's contest. There are LOTS of budding scientist out there! The correct answers were:
Weight of the snow: 196 lbs
Many of you accurately computed the total volume of snow but used a snow-liquid ratio that was too low. The actual snow-liquid ration was between 16:1 and 15:1. The clue on this was that Sunday was very cold creating somewhat higher than normal snow-liquid ratio.
Time of Photo: 2:22 PM
Many of you guessed AM. The clue on this was snow on the tree truck in the photo. Sunday's winds were predominately from the west putting some snow on the west side of the tree trunk. From that you could have determined that the sun was in the west, thus afternoon.

Here is details form Dr. Tashakkori about how the answers were computed. Many thanks to him for providing the fun problem.

And the winners are (pause and drum rolll please):
Best Weight Estimate: A tie between Claxton Graham (192 lbs), Nathan Faulks (192 lbs), and Jonathan Trivette (199.9278 lbs) Best Time Estimate: Jonathan Loss (2:15 PM)
Best Overall Estimates (the smallest error total considering weight and time): Kim Greer (175 lbs and 2:30 PM)

Many thanks to everyone who submitted answers. This was a lot of fun. Hope you learned something. If it weren't so much work, we'd do it more often.
