What to do on a Cold Afternoon?

What to do on a cold Sunday afternoon once homework and ringette are done? Well, have a playdate with a few friends,  of course:

Player of the Match

Here she is, the player of the match! Medal around her neck, and a valiant effort to beat the opposing team. They did well, but lost in the last 20 seconds. She played a smart offensive and defensive game. 

The Girls Visit the Aviation Museum

This week, the girls visited the kid-friendly aviation museum in Ottawa. I am not sure who had more fun, their father or the girls. Here are a few photos of the girls enjoying themselves:

Vacation at Home

We are not yet done our first of two weeks off, and we are all enjoying the much-needed rest and relaxation. The kids are especially enjoying the break from homework, and Mama the break from enforcing it.

Here is what we have done so far:

Gone Skating a the local indoor rink:

Enjoyed some inflatables at the local indoor pool:

The girls are three days through their 5-day ski school program:

Oh yes, and we were also invited to Christmas dinner at a friend's house:

Two Holiday Shows

Two holiday shows in the same week. Two of the girls were singers, and the other had a leading role, a lioness. And now two weeks off: No school lunches, no homework and no after-school activities. Can't wait! 

The Fireballs

Their ringette team finally came up with a name: The Fireballs. They had their team photo today, and two of them came over for a playdate after their morning practice:

At Tim Horton's after practice

An alternative to burying in the sand

Frozen Weather

Although we have yet to see Frozen 2 at the theatre, the little ones are ready for the new film. From new cozy PJs to decorating the house with snowflakes...I even overheard the middle child tell he oldest one "My friend told me that the new movie is soooo much better than the first"...
