See ya snow!

Currently it is about 10 degrees outside and raining - hopefully this means that the last bit of snow will soon disappear! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Saturday was Aidan's last hockey game and he did so well! He's improved so much over the course of the season: he can skate like a pro, shoot, and almost (but not quite!) handle the puck! Of course, if you talk to him the highlight of the game on Saturday was that he got a medal and a hot dog! That puts things in perspective!

Quinn started swimming on Saturday and after a bit of coaxing by Chris he swam the width of the pool three times with his water wings on! He starts Karate this week and can't wait for the ke-yah to begin!

On Sunday we went to the maple syrup farm, a trip which is turning out to be an annual tradition as this is now our third year going. As always the kids loved the pancakes, sausages and beans, plus they loved the horse-pulled wagon ride out to the sugar bush. It was definitely the coldest it's ever been but we still had a good time.

We're keeping our fingers crossed that spring might actually be on the way, as I think everyone is going a bit stir-crazy after this prolonged winter. The flowers have to start budding soon....right?!?!
