"Uno!"

Well, we had fondue for dinner again. I love fondue nights....so delicious.

So, not too much excitement going on here lately. I was feeling a little under the weather most of last week so I did not do too much. Although it was Halloween on Friday, the Swiss do not feel as strongly about this holiday as I, or Americans in general, do. I didn't even dress up :( or go out :( :(.

I have just finished reading War and Peace by Tolstoy. This is quite an accomplishment because the book is over 1300 pages long and it has taken me several weeks to finish it. I love reading big books because I feel good when I am done. This was also a surprisingly intriguing read. I was a little hesitant at first but I honestly can say that it is one of my favorite books.

I don't think that I have mentioned before, but Sanja is obsessed with Uno. This is a card game for those of you who may not know what Uno is. I love card games myself but Sanja is sooo into this game! We literally sit for hours playing this game. The boys are really poor sports when it comes to playing games so they do not participate very often. (This is something I will have to remember to write about some other time.) Sanja can handle losing, unlike her brothers, however she is actually really good at the game. She definitely wins more than I do. And I don't even let her! After every session we finish, Sanja will inevitably shout "One more!" Every...Single...Time...
Sanja is fascinated with my shuffling abilities and I have tried showing her how. Unfortunately, her 5 year old hands are not quite large enough to hold onto the cards while shuffling/bridging. But we do take turns with dealing.

I thought I would put up a few pictures of our couple of snow days last week. The snow lasted for 2 or 3 days and it's pretty much all gone now. It still seems so crazy to me that it wasn't even Halloween yet and we had snow all over the place!
Anyways, here are some pictures of the snowman Jaime and I made. Also, a picture of Nick building a lump of snow on the little hill in their backyard for the sled to jump over.
