---Kaden at his last soccer game of the season. Everyone got a medal from the league and a chocolate bar from his coaches. He had a great season and improved so much! It will be fun to watch him play outdoor this spring---

---What's better than a BBQ? Not much! The kids and I had the first BBQ of the year at Steed's home with the Bly's while our hubby's were in Calgary for teaching. So yummy!---

---This one's a bit of a look and find. Can you see the Blue-jay? Grandma puts peanuts outside by her giant picture window, and the Blue-jays come and feast. Such pretty birds, and fun to watch---

---Is it just me, or is he still too little to be going to school, let alone getting to the classroom by himself? It's still so hard to just drop him off in the morning and watch him race across the school yard alone. Maybe I'll be OK with it when he hits middle school. Maybe.---

---The two of us out for a walk around the hotel. The weather was so gorgeous the entire time we were here, it was kind of sad that Sean had to be in seminars all day. Luckily they ended a bit early today, so we had a chance to get out together before dinner---

---This is what happens when you fall asleep Sunday afternoon while watching a movie with the kids. The 3 year old girl decides she needs her nails painted, and her 6 year old brother decides that he is fully qualified to give her a manicure and pedicure. It could have been a lot worse - they didn't spill any, but Anise didn't wait for it to dry (which would have taken a couple hours based on how thick it was put on), and she in turn got it all over the walls, the floors and herself---

---So, this is kind of all we've been doing - watching the Olympics. We may be addicts. We'll see how we do when we're cut off cold turkey in about a week...it may be painful---

---How do you entertain 2 kids for an entire week off school in the middle of winter? Have them make butter of course! They think it's fun, and it wears them out from all the shaking they have to do - it's win-win for everyone!---

---Kaden was inspired by the snowboarding while watching the Olympics, and decided to give it a try himself using packing tape and a cereal box. The result - some great entertainment for Sean and I from the window---

---What you get when a 3 year old gets a hold of the lotion and decides she has too much on her hands. It's also all over the mirror and wall in the bathroom. Guess I need to hide it in a different spot!---

---Kaden at Aggie Days. His class went for a field trip today, and I was lucky enough to get to drive and supervise. The kids and I had a lot of fun. We got to watch a cow being milked, a sheep being sheared and  made some canola oil.---

---The clock Anise and I  made for our Mommy-Anise date. The boys went to see Avatar, and us girls stayed home and made a clock and listened to ABBA. Hehehe.  I made one of these with Kaden a couple of years ago, and had one to make with Anise, but have never done it until tonight. We had fun cutting and gluing and making it look pretty. She wouldn't go to bed until it was hanging in the perfect spot on her wall---
