Outside My Window...It's grey - very overcast and they forecast a mix of rain and snow but a temperature of 6c. To the East of us there are storm warnings - blizzards and snowfall warnings but they say we won't get that. I hope we get a lot of rain. We still need sooo much to get the fire bans lifted. I was hoping we would wake up to snow. They say it will be 17c by Friday and 19c on Saturday. So we NEED rain or snow today please!!!
I am thinking...about how lovely it is going to be to have Lloyd home for the next few weeks...every single day with him. I can't wait :)
I am thankful for...the opportunities that Lloyds hard work allows me.
From the learning rooms.....Abigails been doing some multiplication - she likes the 7 times table especially, she's also obsessed with cats cradle at the moment and has been studying that on the net and teaching herself - borrowing peoples hands whenever they are willing ;) we continue to write haikus, her bird project is LOVELY, plenty of reading and writing happening...computer work...we've been planning how to make the most of Lloyds time off - and have some field trips planned!
From the kitchen...Lloyds bread baking continues, I am still using my crockpot, I have started to drink 'green monster' smoothies every day so the blender is in use daily now. The apricot flapjacks were a big hit!
I am wearing...my nighty as I'm in bed.
I am creating...crochet, ATC's, in my journals, I enjoyed creating a project about Canada at the weekend as part of a 'culture swap' on Swap-bot. My knitting projects are still ongoing....various other craft projects ongoing - I like to have a few projects that I can pick and choose from as the mood takes me...
I am going...swimming this afternoon and then to the park to meet my friend Jennifer and her children for a playdate for a while - unless the weather is too bad and then it will be an indoor playdate!
I am reading...magazines (Marthas Body and Soul magazine and Life Learning magazine)
I am hoping...we got spaces on the field trip next week. I am also hoping the field trip in May isn't full yet - I need to book that today!
I am hearing...breakfast news, Sam and Abby chatting to each other in one of their bedrooms
Around the house...the chicks have moved into their new home - the chicken house!! They are quite big now - I took a picture of them which I will post later. They are still very cute :) Lloyd is looking forward to being at home for several weeks to get a lot of work done around the house - he has a 'to do' list (a very long one) and is going to work through it.
One of my favorite things...sitting in the big armchair reading the children stories. Yesterday one of the books we read was a favourite - Walter the Farting Dog - oh it's sooo funny :) And you have to hunt for the little spider on each page too - Sam laughs through the whole book and races to find the spider and it was just fun!!
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Swimming, Laurence has gymnastics and badminton matches, Susannah has a sleepover party out at Elk Island Park, we may take in the Earth Day festival or Law Day...date night...and making the most of Lloyd being off of work :) Woohoo!!!! :)
