Easter Weekend
We had a great weekend!
On Friday, we had Good Friday worship with a guest speaker from Chosen People Ministries. I did childcare, but heard it was very good.
For supper, the whole family helped to make an unplanned, spur of the moment, turkey dinner. Yum!
Saturday the kids received their baskets of goodies and had an egg hunt. In the aftrnoon we went to the community center for a big easter event. I thought it was very well done and was pleased with those who showed up from SM.
In the evening Julia and I went to a friend's B-day party. Julia painted her a picture on canvass. I loved it and keep saying that is exactly what I want for Mother's day from all three of them.
Sunday was of course, Easter celebration worship. Afterwards we had dinner with friends.
It was a beautiful day.
Yesterday it was gloomy and rainy but we didn't mind. We spent the afternoon with friends at Fishcreek, having a campfire, in the rain. Oh yes, good times.
Now life is back to normal routine. Sent the kids on the bus this morning in the cold, wet rain/snow. And I'm going to play catch up!

Fun Surprises
Happy Valentines Day! This has been a great day so far. Actually a great week. Monday night we had an awesome time watching Joel's game (even if they lost). Finally starting to get to know the other parents which makes the experience that much richer. From the rink I was picked up for some authentic Thai, yum!
Tuesday night I had a surprise visit from a friend with a valentines gift and a hug. So sweet!
This morning I needed to be out the door by 8:10am so was in a bit of a rush. When I ran down the stairs to get my coat on I noticed a valentine gift and card on the counter waiting for me, (even though we agreed we wouldn't do anything for V-day). I didn't have time to open the card or look over the gift and resolved to do that when I got home. Jacob informed me there was a card to open and I said, "yes I know, I'll look at it when I get home." He, being all ready to go said, "I'll read it to you mom while you get your coat on." He open the envelope and began to read the card saying, "Happy Valentines Day to my Hottie of a wife..." He quickly shut the card, put it on the counter without finishing and said, "SICK". hee hee hee.
The kids cleaned up at school today. Wow, Valentines Day has come a long way from when I went to school. Passing around candy was not heard of. It is fun though and that is what the boys handed out. Julia gave out valentine pencils. I think it is such a fun day.
We are celebrating as a family tonight. After a special dinner, we are taking our passes (hooray for GM cereals) and going to a movie. A good way to start off the school holiday.
