Beautiful Weather...It is about time!

Hello everyone,
The warm weather has arrived...let's just hope it stays. It has been a beautiful week, especially today at 27. I am so happy that it is the weekend! It has been another busy week...meetings every morning and after school, a presentation, and field trip paper work. At least there are only 4 more weeks. Mike and I went to his school play last night...it was hilarious!! The kids were excited to see Mike there to support them. Gordon is still wearing his cone and has starting peeing around the house because he is so mad...so that definitely makes a lot of work for us. He is healing, but still has some scabs. Mike and I will hopefully get some more yard work done this weekend. We have been pulling out dandelions every day for the past week...the lawn is almost free of those awful weeds.
Anyways, I'm going to head outside to enjoy the rest of the sun, while Mike sits downstairs and plays video games as usual.
Later

Great Long Weekend :)

I can't believe how fast the weekend went by. We stayed at home and got a lot accomplished around the house. We discovered that Gordon is allergic to dust. So we had to wash all the blankets and vacuum everything. We had to put the cone back on him and he wasn't too pleased. We organized our laundry room, did some yard work and cleaned out our closet...I know, sounds fun right? But if feels good to be all organized before another busy school week. Only 6 weeks left and it feels like there is so much to do...curriculum to cover, report cards to write and the school is already busy getting ready for next year (ordering, classroom layouts, etc.) Mike and I are looking forward to the break. We are also looking forward to the upcoming Coldplay concert!!! Mike has been busy writing exams for his kids. He had a meeting about next year and he will most likely be teaching phys. ed. most of the day...so he is quite excited about that. Anyways, I should probably go start dinner, but just thought I would update everyone on our very exciting life LOL
Bye for now,
Mike and Mel

8 More Mondays!!!

Wow...I can't believe how fast time goes by. Only 8 more weeks of school and then summer holidays. A lot of stuff going on as usual. It is awesome to see how far my little ones have come since September...it is so hard to let them go after you have trained them so well LOL It is almost time for report cards...it feels like I am always doing report cards. Mike has been busy as well. He just finished up report cards and interviews. His hockey team also won the city championships. He starts summer hockey on Sunday already...just when I thought there would be a break. He also started playing softball with Mark. The rest of the time is spent watching the playoffs, ugh. When we watch the Canucks he makes me where one of his Canucks hats and sit there beside him. It is quite hilarious to watch him pace behind the couch during the game.
I have also been busy putting together a wedding slideshow using iMovie. I had no clue how to use it, but I was able to figure it all out on my own. I will be sending out some copies for people to see.
Well I'm off for now...Mike is laying on the stairs complaining about being bored...so I think we are going to go for a walk or something. It is a beautiful Friday evening...finally some sun.
