James is dreaming of a better future and a nicer apartment.

I like cooking. I'm one of those weird people who really likes doing it. I very much like the idea that I can take something here, as held up by my lovely assistant, and turn it into something different.




Of course, it isn't right from pepper to stir fry. There are a few other steps, and a few other things involved too. Sadly, it can't be that easy.

After Family day, another short week with the kinders.

Picture 46

Today was Family Day. Probably one of the worst conceived holidays I've ever heard of. You get time to spend with your family (assuming you work for either the city or the province) but nowhere is actually open for you to go spend time with them... Also, if you don't work for the province of city, good luck with those kids who now need a babysitter/daycare! Oops, too bad the daycares are closed too.

Here's a welcome sign on a house.

Happy Valentine's Day

I slept a good portion of today. Yesterday made me so tired, I work up today and just... wanted to fall back to sleep. And I did that. I'm glad I did, I needed the reboot.

Today was one hell of a busy day. I had my mid term this afternoon and spent a good 2-3 hours talking with Issie my supervisor. She feels that once again I am doing a good job, and pointed out strengths that she feels that I have that I was completely unaware that I had. I always like when that happens.



Oh, and we also had a Valentine's Day celebration where the kids made their own cookies. I brought in sugar cookies (which I didn't make but was planning to and epic failed last night), chocolate icing, vanilla icing, chocolate sprinkles, little candy star sprinkles, little chocolate hearts and little gummy hearts. Using these, I helped each one of the kids make their own cookie for a snack today. As you can see from the two pictures I am posting up today, it went really well. But man, am I tired.

Everything is looking good for tomorrow so far. Doing a special Valentines Day activity with the kids, have a special snack, and it's my midterm evaluation for my placement. Sounds like big fun, doesn't it?

Every since the parents left, the dogs have been moping. As soon as the two of them go anywhere, the dogs just mope and act as though the bottom has fallen out of their world. Even though we don't treat them any different, they just lose themselves.

The kids are getting excited for Valentines day, especially since they have been doing Valentines day stuff all week, such as painting pictures, making crafts, and singing brand new songs.
