A Day Off

 On Thanksgiving Monday, we enjoyed a leisurely stroll, raked some leaves, painted some lovely art and enjoyed a home cooked dinner:

Kids portion: cauliflower rice, veggie noodles and Grandma’s turkey

Bike Ride With School

 While public school-related field trips have been banned in our province for as few years, the schools are still able to go on sports outings. And so it was that this Monday, our 10-year old went on a bike ride with her gym class. 15km total. They stopped at an ice cream shop for an icy treat. I wasn’t able to attend, but my sister was out walking when she came across the group. Here she is:

Outdoor Classrooms?

 With social distancing measures in place, our children are spending more time outdoors at school. Here is our #2 with her outdoor classroom (front right in navy blue).

First Ped Day

The girls had their first Pedagogical Day on Friday, however they had no interest in sleeping-in. After plenty of free-time and a little homework, we enjoyed a leisurely stroll and a bicycle ride. Their long week-end included a few other activities, but probably the most memorable was roasting marshmallows over the fire in their aunt and uncle’s backyard:

Another Week, Another Activity

It’s hard to believe that the girls have already been back to school for three full weeks! Homework has restarted, and a few other activities have also begun. We had a very busy weekend...soccer season is ongoing, “winter”swimming has begun, and the ringette season has just kicked off.  After many months of limited activities, we are embracing the busy schedule. Here is the youngest one on the ice for the second time this season:

First Week Back

 The first full week back to school was a success. The girls reconnected with their classmates, made new friends, met their teachers and got their back-to-school haircuts. We even stopped for a cool snack:

School Has Begun

 Not sure how long it is going to last, but school had finally begun. Here they are on their first day:
