It's our usual winter story: in the last two weeks the kids have been off school for one holiday, three two-hour delays due to cold/snow/ice, two polar vortex days (the "feels like" temps were down to -11 or so), and one real snow day. And Zach stayed home one day for a sore throat that, luckily, did not turn into anything else. So it's been a lot of Minecraft, playing around the house, and doing art. They spent time during the polar vortex doing packets of school work that had been set aside for such days.
Zach and another boy from his Cub Scout den chose to participate in a Boy Scout skills day at camp, and the cold didn't stop him from having a great time (Frank spent as much time as possible tending the fire). For some reason the younger boys were excluded from building fires but not throwing axes. Zach and Gabe worked on their Pinewood Derby cars and raced them on Saturday. They had some good speeds and finishes, but weren't quite fast enough for trophies.
