Hello.
We have had snow squalls the past two weeks, however last night we got the first major storm of the season. Ten inches of heavy wet snow fell last evening and we are expecting another 4 inches today! The excitement is high: Larry and Nick got their first tracks on the ski hill “booting” up this morning at 6:15 AM by headlamp, all the children are frantically searching for gloves and mittens, and we have outlined the NCS snowball policy. Of course, there is a double dose of adrenaline today, in that we are getting ready to celebrate Halloween tonight. (FYI ... All major celebrations happen on Wednesday during homenight.)
This afternoon – in between sorting dirty laundry and putting away clean clothes - children will make final adjustments to their costumes, continue the pumpkin carving that started last weekend, set up the carnival and spook house, and help Libby get the “playlist” ready for this evening’s dance. A NCS Halloween is costumes run on the rule of thumb, that it is about 10% material stuff and 90% imagination.
Finally, it is just five weeks until Thanksgiving and we are all getting excited to see you, please be sure that you talk to Sheila about your travel plans!
