Ice Skating

There is an ice skating rink opened at the Lakefront for the school holidays.  Jack and Danielle are here for the school holidays, so as a treat, we are going skating.  The urchins were surprised how well Mama skated, and how fast she was...

Quinn's 9th Birthday

A construction party and lots of boys :  Quinn, Tighe, Adam, Luke, Zach, Kyle, Nelson, plus the rest of us girls got together Saturday afternoon and wished Quinn happy birthday.  He wanted a Lego cake, and it was interesting that the small children didn't want to eat it, as they are not allowed to put Lego in their mouths.  Zach was surprised that the cake was chocolate, he expected it to be Lego all the way through.  Great afternoon with all the boys.
