Victoria School Grade 12 Award night




Last week was Christopher's Grade 12 Award night.  We were invited to attend because Christopher was to be given an important award there - we just weren't sure what!!  Chris didn't even know what! 

Chris won awards in Shooting the Dramatic Screenplay 35 and Film Studies 35 IB.

He was also awarded the C. O. Hicks Award which recognizes a Grade 12 Male student who exhibits outstanding citizenship.  

He was also given a $3,500  scholarship towards his post secondary studies  at UBC from the 
Victoria School Foundation for the Arts.  

Last year he received a scholarship for a film camp, and he was also given a $1,000 Loran scholarship. 

Unfortunately the lights were very bright in the theatre and the pictures are poor.  

Now Radio garage sale....



Last saturday Laurence and I went to the Now Radio garage sale - it was fun to see all the radio hosts in real life - they were all there joking about and running the stations own table.....and I bought this bike :)

Telus World of Science

















On Monday we decided to head over to the Telus World of Science and check out the Sesame Street Body Exhibition.  We were really impressed with it and had a GREAT time!!!  It's a very hands on exhibit - so much to see, do and learn!!  

It was soooo much fun!!!

There were a few school parties there while we were there and they were so rude and mean and badly behaved that I think Abigail was quite shocked by them!!!  She commented quite a few times afterwards about how she couldn't believe what they were like and how badly behaved and nasty they were even though they didn't know her!  

They were rude to the staff at the science centre too and climbing on things they shouldn't and broke off a microphone from a display...were running around screaming and yelling, pushing in front of everyone and basically just horrible to be around!!!  Really unpleasant!  

Hhhmmm yep can definitely see the benefits of sending the kids to school lmao!!!  


Wednesday tag :)


1. What is one thing on your bucket list? If you don't have a bucket list let's pretend you do.  To go to Japan and see the Cherry Blossoms in the Springtime :)  





2. What makes a good dad?  someone who is actively involved, interested, fun and provides love consistency and security.  


3. Are you afraid of insects? Which ones?  mosquitoes drive me nuts - their noise and the fact they HURT and ITCH!!  I'm not afraid of any though....


4. We're barbecuing...what's on the grill at your house?  we haven't grilled yet this year....but when we do, we have corn, potatoes, burgers, mushroom kebabs....


5. Do you believe that playing is more important than winning?  Most definitely but it's frustrating when the person you are playing doesn't feel that way.  I'm not in to competitive sports...they don't interest me at all...I'd much rather just go and have fun as a family swimming or whatever than have the kids in competitive sports that an effect their self esteem....it either leaves them feeling like crap or makes them arrogant.


6. Do you tan? Use self tanners? Visit tanning salons? See your dermatologist at least once a year?   I tan and visit the tanning salon....yes I know it's not good for the skin but mentally it is VERY good for me...it makes me feel sooooo relaxed, boosts my self esteem because I look so much better with a bit of colour....


7. Five years ago I would never imagine that today I would be going through a bitter divorce, be living apart from Lloyd, that he'd hate me and be playing such nasty and vindictive games with the children :(



8. Insert your own random thought here.  Why am I having to have my heating on in JUNE??????
