It was nice to be on the winning side of the score board this evening after some big tournament losses last weekend. Final score 4-2 for Kaden's team.

Kezia's team played the first place team today. The score was tied at 0-0 at the half way point and then the other team scored. It was a tight game with big chances but Kezia's goalie played incredibly well to keep the score at 1-0 until the final 30 seconds when Kezia's team tied it up! What a nail biter!

This photo showed up in my instagram feed this afternoon with the hashtag #doneexams. I am so glad my girls are such good friends and really enjoy spending time together.

Last game of the weekend...another loss but a win for growing as a team and having fun.

The roads were a bit blustery when we left the city this evening around 6:00 but about an hour later they looked like this and it was a relief to drive on clear winter roads.

I'm so proud of Kezia. Last month she decided to sponsor a child through compassion. She chose a 5 year old girl who shares the same birthday. Today, Kezia received her first letter from her sponsored child. My favourite part of the letter was when there was a spot to ask any question to your sponsor and Kezia's sponsor child had asked "Do you know how to fly a plane?"

I totally love the people I work with. They support me, teach me, sympathize with me, and laugh with me. Today, I was able to help my teacher peep Sheralyn set up her own classroom and personal instagram account. This is her first post on her new account.

I was so incredibly touched that a parent volunteer who was chaperoning the Winter camp trip took the time to send me this picture of Kaden. It looks like these cold temperatures didn;t keep them from spending some time outside doing their activities like cross country skiing.

We left the school later than originally planned and didn't make it home before Kaden's hockey practice. Conrad met us at the community centre after picking the girls up from musical practice and it was perfect timing because we arrived at the same time.

Each grade gets a chance to be featured in the weekly family memo and this week was Grade 1! We got to highlight some of our activities such as our thriving Instagram account (we just posted our 500th photo this week), our online art gallery on artsonia.com, the results of our Christmas card sale (we sold enough cards to buy 20 school kits through MCC) and we even featured some of our New Year's resolutions. We are busy in grade 1!

It's not totally unusual around our house to eat our supper so late but I do like when we can all eat around the table together. I had yearbook after school and Kaden had basketball practice. After we were finished I dropped Kaden off at hockey, shopped for some groceries, and then picked the girls up from musical practice. We came home to start supper and then Conrad picked Kaden up on the way home and then we ate all together....at 7:45pm.

This morning was the start of a 6 week "Biggest Loser" challenge that I have joined. This week's challenge is to drink more water. I filled up my new big pink cup at school today to remind me to drink more at school.

Kezia's soccer team lost 1-0 at this first game of 2014. This was a pretty decent score since they were playing a team with twice the number of players.

I asked Kaden to shovel before supper and he did...and then the sidewalks were completely covered again by the time Conrad got home from work 3 hours later.

We've been experiencing a deep freeze for the past few days with temperatures reaching the -50 degrees Celsius range with the windchill. Today was ONLY -38 with the windchill and so we took advantage of the BOGO offer on the 7-eleven app to go for Slurpees as a family.
