Liam's working on getting all aspects of Canadian culture in his time here. After school on fridays now you'll find us in the playground watching and playing street hockey. One of the other mum's from school has done the organising and there's a dad whose been a hockey coach who does the on court control, with which ever other dads are around. Last week there as a huge turn out. Liam had a great time and wanted his own stick (and so Madeline wanted one too). We purchased a hockey set which has two goals and two sticks and a ball. So now thats set up in the basement and I can hear Richard and Liam down there now.

Spring break
Today is the last day of Spring Break, we didn't do anything specifically this break but both kids played at friends and had friends over here.
We did go to Swan Lake Nature House where they had a CSI activity discovering who had killed the duck in the truck, Liam really enjoyed this it was a little old for Madeline but she enjoyed some of it. They tested a sbstance on the body, which they had to collect, they interviewed the neighbour, reviewed possible suspects and took their case to the judge. There were also bins with compost and various bones which you exposed and identified.
So tomorrow its back to school. We got report cards before Spring break, there were no surprises, Liam is popular not great at focussing, could improve his writting, but otherwise is at grade level.
Wellington
Richard wanted some pictures of Wellington since people ask so I finally put this together.
