Spring Forward

I have a new exercise with the kids. Every meal we will talk about "what we are grateful for today." Although there are topics aplenty during meals that this has often gone to the backburner, we would still have bedtime to do this. I find that if we count our blessings, big and small, the small things make a big difference.

This Sunday we start Daylight Saving Time. Although we are losing 1 hour of sleep (TV time for some), I am grateful for the bright mornings I will now wake up to. No more early morning darkness.

But first, Spring Forward means Spring Break.  I am on week-long bento break.  Weeee!

Welcome Spring

Today is the official first day of spring. However spring weather has arrived sooner than today. Temperatures the past week have hit record high of almost 20C. I can't believe I had turned on the A/C in the car today. Sad for global warming, but hooray for shorter winters!

Outside here we come! Everything is in this block - 2 schools, baseball field, basketball court, playground and trails. I wish we live in the neighbourhood.

Sashi blows bubbles on the side. Okay, he just actually sprinkled the grass with bubble soap.

I still love how close we get to the airplanes. There's one in like every 5 minutes.

Seriously, I want to move in here.
