=========
Its been a few days since our last blog-my laptop has been hijacked by Lucie and her friend Jasmine for the Science project. The Science project is a big event at School, and the children do an experiment and have to explain their methodology/results by doing a presentation....
Much to Lucie's horror I have volunteered to be a Judge at the Science Fair (anything to hold a clipboard and hand out rosettes) but of course you cant judge your own childrens work :-)
Pot Luck Valentines Lunch
===================
Lucie's teacher is organising a pot luck lunch for the children, they are all to bring in a main course, salad or pudding....Lucie is keen to bring in Haggis-not sure where we will get some in Calgary but we will try..
Sophie Ice Skating
=============
Sophie is off at an outdoor ice skating lagoon tonight for her friends birthday. It was absolutely beautiful, a natural lake, so pretty with snow falling lightly and giant fir trees lit up with blue Christmas lights. She is then going back to the birthday girls' house for a sleepover and shopping at the Mall tomorrow with another group of friends....
I was asked to go into School this morning for a very brief meeting with one of the teachers about Sophies excellent progress in Maths :-) Everything starts early here so it was 7.30 am....Sophie and I were talking to the teacher sitting on the sofa with Lucie behind the teacher as it was too early for Lucie's peers to be in school-what does Lucie do but start imitating the teachers hand guestures behind the teachers back, hilarious - but what a monkey!!
Spring Sunshine
===========
It has been gorgeous, really warm , about +12 degrees and Calgarian's have been wearing shorts! So lovely, bright and sunny, I had the doors open to the terraces...Bliss! However, all set to change now as its started to snow again-a foot of snow expected overnight- but forecast to be warm again by Tuesday.
Cupcakes
=======
We are having a rest from making our own but have discovered Crave Cupcakes . We buy the mini ones and they are absolutely delicious! Im not a major fan of sweet things but these are really good...(note the empty space, couldnt resist ... :-)
Needless to say, Lucie loves them and takes them into school for a small sweet treat...
Jasper Day Care
============
Jasper loved Sringbank Pet Resort and Spa (had his nails trimmed too....), he had a really good day, had to stifle a giggle when the manager brought over a DVD to show me of Jasper on his 'first day'...he did really enjoy it but it was a fair old drive out of Calgary I felt like we were nearly in the Rockies, so he will just go very occasionally so he gets used to it for when we need it for kennels when we go back home on holiday. DVD to follow...
Skiing
=====
We are off to Nakiska on Sunday to ski which is only 40 minutes or so away, should be fun..
