So, stuff's been pretty chill as far as Ranch life goes. Our transportation load got really easy, because some appointments we'd been having off-campus got moved to on-site, so that was VERY very nice. Also, Nathan and I were going to have to make an out-of-town pick up on Friday, and that got canceled too. Prayers requested for the issues surrounding WHY it was canceled, but it may actually have been a good thing, because we got hit pretty hard with a snowstorm yesterday, so the related drop-off today might have been tricky, or perhaps even impossible.
But we've had a good weekend. Friday we went bowling with our boys, and while not flawless, it was a pretty good experience. Really, the biggest drawback to it was that we were planning on going right after school, so...get to the bowling alley around 5:00. Instead, we had forgotten about an appointment, so we left around 6, and had to get dinner first. Also, I'm used to blacklight bowling starting around 10 or 11 (of course, those bowling alleys also stay open til 1 or 2 in the morning). Instead, blacklight bowling here starts around 8. And...well, that's pretty much why we only bowled one game. Well, they were getting a little antsy prior to that, but that pretty much ruled out any hope we may have had at getting them to sit still through other people's turns. But really, it was an overall good experience.
My amazement yesterday was that it started snowing (barely) when we left for church yesterday, and got a few inches (at least one by the end of Sunday School), and school was canceled for two days before we went to bed. Lots of snow here (this is snow day...11 or 12 for them?).

But snow days aren't all bad. While maybe too much TV, we've had a good day. I got to take this picture in the afternoon (because I thought it looked like a giant crack in the sky). Also, I started a challenge with one of our boys: that I can do all of his next discovery thing in his AWANA book (7 pages/sections) in half the time he can. He's smart enough he could beat me like nothing, but he's not terribly motivated to work on it. Of course, with the upcoming Bible Quiz, that's pretty much the point of the challenge: to motivate him. Anyways, I guess we'll see how that goes.
Anyways, I guess that's about everything that's going on around here.
