Savannah and Alex took their turn baking today...Savannah baked up a storm with Kim...cupcakes, chocolates and cake galore! Alex made apple crisp all by himself. Carsten baked last week and I will hopefully get a picture of him when he does it again.
Day 33 - February 2, 2014
Savannah was pretty happy to show me the chocolates they made but more importantly...she has 54 braids in her hair. Savannah has wanted 54 braids in her hair for a while and Kim worked diligently to make her wish come true. I am not sure why she wanted 54 but thanks Kim!
Day 34 - February 3, 2014
Rowan was playing shy, not wanting to take his coat and shoes off...or so I thought. I told him I'd let him keep them on and when he is ready to come play, we'd play. A few minutes later, I called for him to come play and he didn't answer. I checked on him and he was standing by the bench sleeping...must have been a rough night.

Day 56 - February 25, 2014
After putting out recycling and garbage last week, the recycling wasn't picked up...let's just say it was not a good thing because we always have a lot of recycling stuff. Rain and snow came without it being picked up. After six days and quite a few phone calls, we came home and saw that finally someone came back to pick up our recycling...the bad thing is that this is what we came home to...bins not emptied and stuff strewn over the front yard. It has been a good learning experience for all of us and how we need to do our jobs well. Needless to say if my kids had done this, I would have called them back til they did the job right.
Day 57 - February 26, 2014
My supper tonight...it was quite yummy...if only I could make mashed cauliflower taste like potatoes.
