Last night we had our annual friends gift exchange party. We have an awesome group of close friends and there are a lot of kids in the mix. We decided a number of years back we’d draw names so each kid bought one small gift for one of the other kids. The best part ofContinue reading “Friends Christmas Party”

We went hunting for Christmas tree this morning and found a really great one. We tried a new tree farm this year and had a wonderful experience.

Stop Motion Homework
Tonight for homework Caile worked on creating a stop motion video. It shows the destruction of an ecosystem by fire, and then the growth of it back up again. I thought it turned out pretty well so I wanted to share it.

The kids are here too, but Jen is sweeter than the ice cream.

We have a really great Muesum system here. There are 28 sites as part of it across theContinue reading “Nova Scotia Summer”
