Went to the museum of nature today. I love that place, except the jury is still out on whether I like the new set up to the place after all the construction.

Today we made an ice castle. Some water, a little bit of food colouring, a bunch of plastic containers and no less than 2 freezers, and you have an activity that the kids completely and totally enjoyed. Who wouldn't love playing around with colourful ice?

Is it Friday yet? I wish it was Friday, I've been in a bit of a snit all day and I'm not too sure why.

Today I got to see baby gamers in action. The kids were learning how to play a board game. It's actually very good for social development, since they need to learn to take turns, that they won't always be winning, and that sometimes they lose. It was pretty easy to see which ones had rolled a pair of dice before and which hadn't.

It was also easy to tell which kids always won the game when they played with mommy and daddy.

These birds have heard the news. The groundhog saw his shadow.

Today was one of those days when I was tired all day, and everything seemed far too long. Because of that, you have a lame picture of the Shephard's Pie that I made for dinner. Tomorrow I'll do a better picture.

For now I'll supply an extra bonus picture to make up for the lameness of today.

You want orange?

Why does it have to stay cold? We had a couple of nice warm days, but nothing seems to be sticking. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm just about done with winter.

Went downtown to play a game with the super noobs. It's not often I get to play someone fun like Howard. The walk back to my car along Rideau was pretty cold. next time I need to find somewhere closer.

So cold today. -30 something with the wind chill. The sun was bright and shining, but those in the know in Canada know that bright and sunny in Canada usually means it's freaking cold.

However, because it's a clear night, we have a awesome moon in the sky.

Today was the last day of my first week on placement. The week went well, though I'm a little tired out. Thankfully tomorrow is PD day, so I can get some planning done. I was enjoying the little bit of sunshine while we had it, followed by bone crunching cold winds.
