I have to admit that as much as I am looking forward to our spring move I AM going to miss our local produce store. Where else can you get 10 lbs of apples for 4.00 in the middle of winter? So tomorrow I get the slow cooker out and make fresh applesauce. A family favourite.

Another favourite, at least for the kids is the Dollarama. Where else can you go and let the kids basically pick out anything they want and NOT break the bank? Although sometimes the choosing can take some time. Apparently it is not a decision to take lightly.

With their Dollarama stash! (Gavin right)

The week is over, almost before we could get a good handle on it. One more week until the party, and a mountain of baking to be done. Last night I got in some more scrapbooking, 2 pages for Trinity this time.

Letter to Santa

In honour of Chinese New Year and some free time I made up some origami bunnies from this site.

Oh and for our frog unit – jumping frogs ALSO from the same site.

A family of frogs

I only have the kids’ version origami paper so it was a bit thicker than what I have used in the past but still they are cute! And the kids LOVED them. I can’t wait til the star paper I ordered for first birthday gifts gets here. I loved making the stars for Trinity’s first birthday. For schooling today I printed out a Valentine’s Day themed math page – they had to fill in the missing numbers to count from 1-100. I sat them down with the Math mini office and let them go at it. There was only 3 mistakes between the two of them. I was VERY proud of them though, they got a little frustrated but kept at it. We took frog templates from the same site and each of the boys worked on colouring some frogs from images Ken found on the internet. All of the ones they did are called dart frogs. Tomorrow we start our written down observations of our frog (who if you remember is named FROGGER). Not sure how exciting that will be, but it will be interesting.

Now to get back to work on the tidying. I have a bag of items from the Dollarama to find homes for. Always a bit of a puzzle.

Had to pop her into this to see if it fit yet... I think she may just wear this out tomorrow!
