Todays 'work'...
A worked on several pages in her Grade 1 Canadian Math book....she worked on number patterns....before, between, after.....more and less and then filled in a 100 grid.
We read Robert Frosts poem 'Stopping By A Woods on a Snowy Evening'...and also Snow Angels by Sonja Lamut. We also read Franklin and the Tooth Fairy and the first chapter of Dorothy Edwards book 'When My Naughty Little Sister Was Good'.
This afternoon Abigail used the computer for a while - mainly Webkinz where she played various word games to earn 'cash'...she's saving up to buy her horse a bed :)
She coloured a snowman picture to go along with our snowy theme today....played playdoh a little with Sam and helped with a few chores.
First thing this morning we sat on the bed and played some card games - Rummy and Crazy 8's.......this is her favourite activity right now - card games of any kind!

A - Z of me....
My friend Michelle over in England is taking part in a challenge over at one of my FAVOURITE websites 'Its a Creative World'......you should all pop over to her blog Crafty Banshee and check out her work :) I think its great....
last year I started the challenge of altering a pack of cards into 52 cards about me......I forget what the challenge was called....well I ahve all the challenges written down but I think I only did about three....
I'm sure Michelle is a lot more likely to stick with it and get the challenge done though and I'm looking forward to following the progress!
I keep meaning to add Its a Creative World to my links list - a job for later me thinks!

Tuesday......
High winds blew in from the North last night - although the temperature didn't drop too much, the windchill was COLD.......we were awake quite a bit listening to the wind blow around the house - I love hearing that :) Could have done with more sleep though - Lloyd woke me by phone at 6:30am as I was supposed to take Chris to school for 7am for basketball practice.......turns out he got a ride so I could go back to bed :)
We were planning on going ice skating today but as we were all tired and the roads first thing were fairly crappy, we decided to switch the day - so we stayed home - and stayed snuggled in bed...watched a little tv....(a show about the Rockies and how the first artists and photographers introduced their splendour to the world!) and we played Crazy 8's and Rummy.....read some books.....(including Robert Frosts poem about winter - Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening) and Abigail read a story to me entitled Monster Haircut.
I did some more sewing - hearts for my Valentine tree.....
Sam sat and enjoyed the stories.....he played with his cars and bricks and watched his favourite show Frannys Feet.
Abigail worked on her Grade one math book - she did 6 pages....mainly on number patterns - trying to figure out which number is missing...which one comes before, in between and after etc etc.....then she had to fill in a number grid with numbers 0 - 100.
Lloyd is meeting Dave for lunch in Sherwood Park. I think he misses him now they don't work together.
Maybe I'll make some emergency chocolate cake....or fudge brownies.....I stocked up with baking goods at Costco last night...
well, time for lunch and then Abigail can use Webkinz for a while.......maybe I'll head down to the treadmill....maybe I'll sew......maybe I'll bake!

Going potty!!!!
I forgot to post yesterday - Sam used the potty several times - even pooped in it :) So far so good today too :)
Lloyd said he was surprised I didn't take a picture of the poop to blog! I burst out laughing because a part of me did consider it ;)
Other things I meant to blog about over the last week. I saw on the View last week that Rhinos get 30 days of foreplay!!! Lucky Rhino's!!! Why I've blogged that in a post about potty training I ahve no idea lol but I guess this is more of a catch up post!
Oh and the Air Canada problems last week - whe the plane had to make an emergency landing.....that just made me think again about that little five year old girl who was flying unaccompanied with West Jet....what if this had been her flight? What if her plane had plummeted several thousand feet and had to land at an airport half way between her parents......100s/ 1000's of miles from her parents.....
Imagine being one of those parents? Your child is in a city 100's of miles from you - you can't get to her - she's terrified because she thought the plane was going to crash - all the adults around her were scared too......the cabin crew were injured.....and yet you know she has to get on another plane to fly to her other parent and you can't comfort her.........
Other things on my mind this week? Its almost Roll Up The Rim to Win time........
Oh and FAB news.....our permit applications are in!!! AND they have a start date of April 1st :) We thought they'd start in mid May but no - April First they break ground WOOHOO!!!!!!
