Valentine's Day

Hi!

We are finally getting some winter here!  

We had two more snow days on Monday and Tuesday

We're expecting another 25 cm (9 inches) overnight tonight! 

Funny snow drift in the front corner of the house. 

C and I got our Valentine's stuff out on Monday.

I didn't have a special meal planned for dinner, but with a table cloth and the nice dishes, the fish curry turned out nice. 

During the snow days, I got into making some cards.  This one, I made the outside in 2012, 

But, I did the inside this year! 

Actually, that was just a test one, but it turned out ok, so I gave it to K. ;-)

When I did cards for the kids, I kept the outside simple.

So the inside would shine!

(FMI (for my information) I used watercolor paint for this and found it was a bit runny.) 

Enjoy the rest of your week! :-)

Update

Oh, hi!  

I hadn't realized it had been so long since I've written!

We had a couple "ice" days with no-school or work, on Jan 25 and Feb 8.

Those were both Wednesdays. Feb 1, another Wednesday, was a no-school day (for Teacher's Professional Development).  N has after school Senior Band on Wednesdays.  With 2 cancellations and those no-school days, he hasn't had band since before Christmas!  Although, he does still have music class during school, so he hasn't been completely without!

We took a trip to Halifax on Jan 29th to get C's passport.  We stayed at K's Aunt and Uncle's and had a great visit.

We went to the Emera Oval.  It's an outdoor ice skating rink close to downtown Halifax. 

K and C went skating. 

You can borrow skates for free and it's also free to skate! 

C's skates weren't very sharp and she found it hard to skate.  K thought his skates were pretty comfortable! 

He's on the lookout for new ice skates, since the ones he currently has are uncomfortable. Too bad he couldn't have bought those!

We got some snow last night from Storm Niko- about a foot. 

Today is a Professional Development day for the kids (no school anyway) and K's work is also closed.

K is clearing the driveway.

C is clearing the steps!

Have a great weekend! :-)
