My Day-To-Day Photos

All the note said was "Happy Easter!  There are 28 items to be found." I told the kids that the whole house minus the garage and boiler room was fair game. Off they went and after only a couple of minutes were telling me that I had pranked them and there were no treats to be found. They were giving up so easily! No hints came from me however, and within 15 minutes KK headed to our bedroom and that's when the fun began. If there had been a prize, she would have won.  It took them just over another 15 minutes to find all the treats and some of them were in very tricky places.  So it was a short hunt.   The next day, Jared was tidying up his room and not only did he put his candy into a little kit, he colour coordinated them all.

It's Wednesday, but it feels like a Sunday.  We're smack-dab in the middle of Easter break and we are having a very nice little staycation.  The weather was gorgeous yesterday and I took KK into town to buy shoes and a new jacket for Spring. We found her a great denim that will be the home for her new interest in pins. That collection started when we were at the farm and Grandma pulled out an old suitcase of her Mom's stuff that she wanted us to chose items from.  Jared took a leaf plate, Todd a butterfly jewelry box, (which is really more mine) and KK took some coins and a few pins.   Anyway, before we left Yorkton, we picked up Sophie and the girls enjoyed a fantastic afternoon outside.  The weather was so mild, barely any wind and being in a t-shirt was quite comfortable. After spending some time on the roof, they took a long walk East.  When they got back, we cancelled our indoor dinner plans and replaced them with roasted smokes around the fire. T...

There are 4 shadows.  One is the dog.  Someone is missing.  Or should I say, we have one extra?  Or maybe two extra, as I am usually by myself on these strolls.  It is so nice to have the light after dinner now. And also, I caught a cute picture of Sooty squeaking at the robins on the lawn.

It's nearly 8am and Todd and the kids are still in bed. Jared's excuse is that he's sick.  Kaitlynn is a teenager and I don't know how late she stayed up. I'm not sure of Todd's reason, but I'm sure it's not a good one.  I would have been up and about at 6, but stayed in bed reading, (by reading, I mean looking at funny stuff on Pinterest) out of respect for the household. I think that 7am is a reasonable time to wake the dead, and I do not creep around, yet here we are.   Jared has a fever of 102, so I'm thinking we'll take him to the walk-in clinic later.  He has a badminton tournament on Wednesday that he really doesn't want to miss, and Open Lit is on Thursday.  I also have concerns with the way his teeth are growing in, and so he has a dentist appointment Tuesday morning.  Oy - that's a busy week.   The weather sure did take a change overnight.  It dropped to minus 7, minus 13 with the chill factor.  Yuck, but we shoul...
