Witty & Wise

I wish I had something witty and wise to tell you on this sunny Friday afternoon. But I don't only TGIF!!

As you may have heard there have been some enormous storms around us but it has been Beeeeee-utiful here. Yesterday was sunny all day & today is a little cooler with on/off clouds but still nice. Ha ha - can you imagine ALL of Vancouver is under a Boil Water Advisory ... even to brush their teeth!. I shouldn't get too smug - it could easily happen to us. The only thing that would be better if it was Toronto. Nonetheless, thanks for everyone's concerns but we are doing fine.

Yesterday, Tomas' class went to Goldstream to watch the salmon spawning. In true 6-year-old-boy form his favourite part was when they dissected the salmon and showed the lens separate from the eye. Lovely. He even drew me a picture. Thanks. His lasted book interest is Captain Underpants. I kid you not. The books are about Captain Underpants. The theory being that most superheros look like their flying around in their underwear so what if a superhero actually DID fight crime in his underpants? ... And you're wondering why you never thought of it.

Toria is in classic Toria form. This morning she awoke at 6:45 and was dressed and ready to go for the day by 6:46 AM. Then she goes back to bed until 7 because she knows she can't get out of bed until 7 - at 7 she came jumping down the hall. (This beats last Tuesday when she came into our room at 5:08 am and said that the 7 was in the wrong spot but it kept coming and going from the wrong spot (4:47, 4:57, 5:07...) so it must be confused and it was really time to get up!

The sitter is coming tonight so Todd and I are going on a recon. mission for Christmas presents.
