The start of a new year. It's been a busy season so far with Olivia's ringette (getting good at being tournament finalists but still digging for those elusive golds), Daws and Ian aquatics programs, Ians basketball and Dawsons music- driving him to his "jam sessions" (I'm sure the group is awsome- someday we'll be allowed to hear it??).
Three of the photos are from Ian's Pearson school production of King Lear. He played Kent (the Duke of?). He was awsome of course, and as always all of the kids did a great job and the sets, costumes and whole production was amazing! The final grade eight play apparently will have something to do with teen suicide. It's usually a secret and surprise what this last play is about... I hope someone is pulling my leg. Years ago the plays were more along the fun musical strain, but I'm finding each year they are getting a little darker. Personally I think grade eight is a little early for dark touchy subjects, but who am I, I guess.
The other two pictures were taken at the Ontario Science Center in Toronto. Before Hailey had to go back to school we took in the Marvel Comics superhero display. Never been to this museum before. It was cool, I think most of it would have been better for younger kids say 6-12, suppose we should have gone years ago, but must admit I'd never heard much about it. It was a good day out though and much of it was interesting.
Finally got the cold weather that winter is supposed to bring, and enough snow for the little kids to sleigh down the hill in the back yard (and crash into the fence). The heated floor in the kitchen is proving to be a great investment, I've found myself curling up on the floor with the pets once or twice...and it's nice on the feet too.
Shelah's weekend with the girls apparently went well...who am I to report this one though...Shelah??
February has us looking forward to more ringette, University applications, and oh, almost forgot...my golf trip to Myrtle Beach. Fore!!!!
