Winterlude Wonderland

Holy Moly! What a crazy fun weekend at Daddy's house!

Daddy picked me up at our regular time and we headed for home. We spent about half an hour at home before GP and Bobutė called for us to go and meet them at Nate's for dinner. So we piled back in the van and headed for town. I was very happy to see GP and Bobutė again so soon. We had a yummy dinner at Nate's and then went to Winterlude. We went to Confederation Park to see the ice sculptures. There weren't very many, maybe because of all the rain. We got home late and I went to bed good.

Saturday morning we were up bright and early to head to Winterlude again! This time we went to the Snowflake Kingdom at Jacques Cartier park. We rode the snobus there. It was pretty fun! The slides were so fast. We went down the group slides a bunch of times and rode the tube slide too. Daddy goes really fast in his snow pants, and I was always holding on to him, so I kinda got dragged along. GP didn't bring his snow pants, but Bobutė did. She came down with us a bunch of times too. We went through the ice maze and then it was time to keep going. We all went back to the car and then Sylvie and Jordan and Clark headed for home and Daddy, Me, GP and Bobutė kept going. We went for lunch and then we went skating. I got my skates on but didn't really feel like skating, so I rode to 5th avenue in Clark's big stroller. That was really fun!! When we got to fifth avenue, GP and Bobutė kept skating for a bit and Daddy and I looked around. There was some neat stuff there! When GP and Bobutė were done skating, we went on a treasure hunt with GP's GPS. We found a treasure at the fire station right near the canal. There was a big bucket hanging in the tree. GP left some hand warmers in the treasure bucket and I got to bring home some jumbo playing cards. It was so much fun. When we were done there we caught the snobus back to the car and then headed for home. I had a good supper and went to bed good again. I was pooped from my big day!

Sunday morning when I got up, we had GP's famous waffles for breakfast then headed out to Canadian Tire. GP wanted some camouflage tape for the treasure he has hidden in Toronto. I found it for him! We picked up a few things then went and picked up Jordan. When we got home, we got all bundled up again and headed out on another treasure hunt. This time it was right close by in Rockland. We trudged down a snowmobile path then Sylvie helped me climb up a mountain and Jordan and GP had found the treasure in a tree. This time we left some nail clippers that we bought from Canadian Tire and I got a little dinosaur and Jordan got a cool marble. We even took a cool picture of all of us with the treasure. Look at Daddy with Clark in the backpack. Lucky Clark. It was back home for some lunch after that, then it was time to head off to Mommy's. I was so pooped that I fell asleep in the van.

Wow, that was a CRAZY weekend. I wonder what we'll do next weekend.

Great day!!

What a great couple of days I have had!

Yesterday morning was another great one at school. I came home with lots of stuff in my backpack. Vincent Massey now has a sister school. I told mommy the school was in "Chicken Land" but it is actually in Turkey. Mommy thought that was so silly. So I brought a loonie today so that we can send pencils and stickers to the students at that school. In the afternoon we took a walk over to Giant Tiger (even though it was cold). We bought Emma's birthday gifts, a gift for Shyauna (even though I can't go to her party on Saturday) and some snacks. It was pretty successful. By the time we got home we had just started wrapping the presents and daddy was here to get me.

This morning I was in somewhat of a grump when I got to mommy's house but quickly snapped out of it. Tavyn came down to our apartment early and we brought him out to wait for the bus with us. I had another good day at school. I made a Tyranasaurus Rex headband and I sure scared mommy good with it. And Jordan gave me a gift...twenty five cents! Boy I'm lucky! Today I also got an invitation to Alex's birthday...I must be popular. I hope daddy let's me go to that one.

And now we just got back from the BEST afternoon ever! I hurried to have some lunch after school and by noon we were out catching the bus to the Children's Museum. I had such a blast playing there. Their were hardly any other kids so I just got to play a long time with everything. And I made a nice picture for the window that's a bridge with a canoe and someone fishing. It's really nice. We stayed there for a couple of hours and then walked down to Snowflake Kingdom and the ice slides!! Mommy didn't bring her snowpants so she wasn't too successful at sliding down. The slides are pretty bumpy and not too fast but I went down a couple of times and thought it was really cool. Then we went on a sleigh ride. That was cool! I can't remember the last time I went on one. And to top it off we had a BeaverTail...YUM...my favorite! Winterlude is the best! By the time we left we were both freezing...it's not so warm out today...like -19 with the windchill. So mommy said we could come back next week and maybe it would be a little warmer and she'd wear her snowpants and we could slide even more. Five and a half hours later we're back home...what a great afternoon!

Tomorrow is a PD Day so I'm off school! We're going to go to playgroup in the morning to have more fun.

Cold winter week

It's back to being winter this week and is it ever cold. But mommy and I have been having a fun week together.

Sunday afternoon as soon as I got home to mommy's I wanted to go biking in the community hall. So we did that for a bit and then Tony came to pick us up for dinner at his house. Liz was there (she's 11) and we had a great time playing together. We played car game on PS2 and had a big pillow fight. I even pulled her pants down because she had trucker butt. It was pretty funny! Dinner was great...I ate a huge piece of BBQ pork, a lot of salad and a few french fries. I think my tastes are finally changing and I like to try new foods. Before we went home I was slidding down my bum on the stairs so then I got Tony to slide down with me and Liz and her mom to slide down too. It was so hilarious! We all had wedgies.

Yesterday was up bright and early to go out in the freezing cold and wait for the bus with mommy. We had a good day at school together. Alex's mom was there to volunteer too. We're starting our unit on dinosaurs so that's pretty exciting. And we keep practicing our reading every day. I'm getting so good at it. I'm also getting really good at recognising my numbers and can do them all from 1-10 except I have a hard time with 7 and 8. Sometimes I get them confused. My extra work on it with mommy is sure paying off. I got to bring home my book for the week and it is "I Can Read". And I can actually read most of the book. Wow for me! Just by picking out the first letters of the words and knowing what sounds they make. I sure am smart. Yesterday afternoon was spent playing at home, going biking in the community hall and then Tony came over for dinner. He brought some instant mashed potatoes (since mommy still can't eat much) and we had corn and hot dogs. My favorites!

Today was another busy day. I had another good day at school. In French we were singing "Allouette" so I came home singing that and practicing all of my body parts in French. This afternoon was off to swimming lessons. It was a pretty cold walk...I had to wear my scarf around my face to keep warm. But it was parents day so mommy got to swim too! She was the only mom in the pool. I got to show off to her and my instructor with the best lesson EVER! I was doing back floats WITH my ears in the water (I realised I'm not sinking if I stick my ears in) and putting my face in the water a lot. Wonder if I'm going to earn my badge this time.

Whew...what an update. That's all for now.

Another Weekend...

Back from another weekend at Daddy's. What did we do this weekend?? I'm not really sure. Oh yeah. I remember now.

Friday afternoon, Daddy picked me up and we were off to Costco. We had fun at Costco. Don't we always? After that, we had to drop Jordan off at his Daddy's and then it was home. Daddy read me and Clark some stories and it was off to bed.

Saturday morning, Daddy and Clark and I got to spend the morning and part of the afternoon together. Once Sylvie got home, we all got busy packing ourselves up and Clark and I went for a sleepover at Aunt Glenda's house. I had so much fun!!

When Daddy and Sylvie came to pick us up on Sunday morning I was having so much fun being the train driver in the basement. Uncle Richard has cool trains and he was letting me drive!! It was so much fun. We had McDonalds for lunch and then we went to the Experimental Farm. I haven't been there in a long time! The little calves were so cute. There were even a bunch of little wee baby cows over in the nursing ward. The sheep were really friendly too. Not long after we finished there it was time to head back to Mommy's. She sure was happy to see me.

It'll be back to Daddy's on Wednesday and then GP and Vida are coming to visit next weekend and we are going to go to Winterlude!!

It's Friday!

It's Friday and it's pouring rain outside. What way to kick off Winterlude.

Mommy and I are having a pretty quiet week. Daddy dropped me off early yesterday morning and mommy was feeling much better. No more sick tummy only she's pretty tired and still can't eat. So silly. I had a good day at school yesterday though. I was pretty excited that it was Groundhog Day. I learned about Wiarton Willy and learned that he didn't see his shadow so spring would be coming soon. I'm not too excited about that...I like the snow and winter. But I made a cool groundhog craft that I got to bring home to show mommy. Yesterday afternoon was pretty quiet. We just hung around home playing with all my toys and watching tv. Oh and we started to grow my snowman. Boy is it ever cool! This morning my snowman was all snowy. How cool is that?? I hope he lasts awhile and doesn't melt.

Well I guess that's all for now. I'm off to school. Then tonight it's off to daddy's for the weekend.

Bonus time with Daddy!

It's Wednesday and I got to spend extra time with Daddy today! Yay!

This morning I got up and went off to school, and when I got home, Tony was waiting to get me off the bus. When I got upstairs, it seemed like Mommy was really sick. I guess the medicine they gave her for her mouth wasn't too good after all. Mommy called Daddy and asked if he could come and get me. He said yes! Daddy got there around noon and off we went. I was quite insistent that I wanted to take my wagon with me, but Daddy convinced me there was no point. Off we went to the Train Museum. We had so much fun. It was a beautiful day to start with. It was sunny and warm for our walk over there. When we got there, there were hardly any people there. It was so nice. We did so much stuff. I got to drive the car a couple of times, and ride the snowmobile twice in a row. I don't really like the new Light exhibit though. It's scary in there. We got to play lots of 4 Wheeler game too. Sylvie came and picked us up about 2:30 and we went to St. Laurent for a bit. Daddy and Clark and I walked around Toys R Us while Sylvie was off doing whatever she was doing. After that it was time to head to Daddy's house. We headed on the highway to Rockland. We stopped at Independent's to get some formula and Sylvie bought us chicken for dinner. Yummy!! I got to play some more PlayStation and then Daddy and Clark and I played together, read a story, then off to bed for both of us.

It'll be back to Mommy's again tomorrow morning. I hope she's feeling better. Then back to Daddy's again on Friday! Yay!! Bye for now!

Busy day

I had a pretty busy day yesterday. Mommy got me on the bus to school and it was actually a nice day. I had a great morning at school. I made a craft, played and listened to some friends show and tell. Then I got homework! Each Monday (this week Tuesday) Mrs Hamilton is sending home a book for me to read with mommy and then we return it on Thursday. This week my book is about Bugs. It's a pretty short read and the middle of the book is upside down...silly. My Scholastic book order also came in and I had 5 new books to read last night. Two Valentine one's (The Valentine Express and The Biggest Valentine Ever), Stone Soup, Stella Queen of the Snow and When Will It Snow. They are all very good! And the snow book came with a snowman making kit...we're going to try it out this afternoon.

After school mommy and Tony were both there to pick me up. Mommy had funny gauze in her mouth so when we got upstairs she got me a snack and then had to take care of her mouth so Tony and I played for about one hour with my cars. Then we all headed out to Loblaws to pick up mommy's pills and I had a slice of pizza for lunch. Mommy looked so silly because she kept spilling her soup all over her chin. From there it was off to my swimming lesson. This week all 5 of us were there and we had a great time together. I was putting my face in without choking on the water. After swimming we got to go have a treat...Dairy Queen! Yummy! I am so lucky. I ate a whole small dipped cone by myself! After that Tony dropped us off and we had a quiet evening. Mommy iced her face a lot and we read all my new stories.

I'm off to school this morning. Then tonight it's off to daddy's house.
