Music



 (E and S at their violin recital.)

Suzuki tells me not to nag my children to practice.

Huh.

He says, "patience is merely the absence of expectation."

He would also like my children to practice 3 hours every day.

Wait a minute....... (said in that funny voice I do)

Pirates and Shipwrecks


We met a friend at the Waterloo museum a couple weeks ago. The museum was so-so. Hanging with friends was fun! (No pics of them- not sure how she feels about her fam on a blog)



 Experience a Category 1 hurricane- this was the best part.





A cool lesson in the hall.




 Can you find the omnivore, carnivore and herbivore? Check the teeth below for clues.


A New Play

Hey Sugar





O: How much sugar is there in these 2 cookies?
Me: You can find out if you read the nutritional info on the back of the package.
O: Oh yeah. I knew that. Um, 13 grams. How much is that? 
Me: Let's get the scale....

A Smattering of Spring











 -Painting and planting at our traditional "First Day of Spring" party. We needed a celebration this year more than in (Ontario) years past. (We needed it EVERY year in SK).
-A on a trike
-S is interested in learning to read
-Forts
-E making a lattice top pie. Fancy pants.
-Learning about bridges
-Trees with green leaves showing up in the art journal
-Sprouts!

A few "spring-y" pics I had on my camera.
Maybe this afternoon I can do a "Wow, it's winter again" installment. Snow today.....
