I was at the library today, and noticed they've installed a blood pressure machine just beside the book return. That's kind of neat. The community centres here are always bustling with a busy library, ice skating, sports gym and swimming. They run all kinds of programs for all age groups. You can get an hour of free internet access with your library card.
L got to dissect a pig at school the other day. She found it really exciting, it being a real pig. A lot of her classmates were squeamish as I thought she would be, as I am. It must be just her own pain that renders her incapable!
K went to school all excited as 'Raphael Nadal' this morning. We decided to tape his knees up with bandage for extra effect! One of his friends (a boy)was going to be Kylie Minogue, complete with a mini-skirt.
We had a big snow storm yesterday, but it's all cleared up today. My arms did hurt from shovelling as the snow mounds are quite high.

ReplyDeleteHa Ha - that is going to keep me smiling all day. Oh Kylie Minogue - I would love to see that. I didnt know she was popular there. To think she is 40 too!
Christine, your photo is beautiful! I want to romp around in that snow... for about 30 minutes tops ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter thought it was worse to dissect a flower than an earthworm. Go figure!
Hi Christine,
ReplyDeleteLovely photo. We haven't had any snow yet.We never have much and it doesn't stick ! It's been cold and damp here.
Talking about dissection. L.did well ! When Andrew was at junior chool his teacher said that she would dissect a cow's eye for them if anyone could get one. I asked the butcher and he said he would get one.'for next week ' He kept forgetting and I went about five times before he remembered.The eye duly arrived and went to school and the children all sat roound agog. At the first incision Andrew ran out feeling sick.
Ladies, the funniest part is they had pork chops for lunch in the cafeteria the day of the dissection and half the girls couldn't bring themselves to eat any!
ReplyDeleteLilly, Kylie Minogue went over well but you're right, she's not their age group. Maybe he listens to his parents' music.
Japra, thanks, that's my neighbour's tree. I think means Roxi has an appreciation for beautiful things...that's all good
Barbara, the things us parents do for our kids...a cow's eye! eeaggh.
