Great weather in Vancouver: feels like spring

Valentine's Day Dinner

We took the boys to a Valentine's Day dinner at the church: a classic Italian event at the Parish. Bruno loved the parma ham and dinner rolls!!!

Valentine's Party at Preschool: Bruno's last Valentine's Party at Preschool, as he is off to Kindergarten in September. The children shared valentines, and lots of great food.Bruno proud of his Valentine's box
Treats galore

Getting ready for school
Max and Bruno's valentine's. I had them made this year, as the task of putting together 50 valentines was a little daunting for all of us. The boys had fun writing their classmates' names in their cards. Thanks, Tinyprints for the great valentines!!!

Granville Island here we come...

Went to Old Navy, where I never go, but I found these fun sneakers for the boys....so hard to find white sneakers...really wanted the Jack Purcell's from J Crew, but in ordering the 50 dollar plus sneakers, I had to wait until May to get them... I could write an entire blog about trying to find interesting clothes for boys!!!

We really want spring to get here soon... as the Groundhog said, Spring will be here early this year!!!

Enough skiing for Bruno

Saturday at Little Nest

Around the corner from our house is a great kid friendly restaurant called "Little Nest", which I frequently visit with the boys. It is a great place to eat and to let the kids run around, while moms enjoy great food and coffee!!! The boys love to visit, and enjoy drawing and having hot chocolate. Lunch and breakfast on the weekends are crazy and it is hard to find a table!

Bruno and the hat

It is hat and scarf day at Bruno's preschool, and Bruno is wearing his favourite hat, which he will not take off, and has been sleeping in!!!

Snow Day in Vancouver....school cancelled for the boys

While the public system remains open (it will take a miracle to close a public school in Vancouver) , the Catholic system is a little more friendly when it comes to snow: kids should be out playing in the stuff and having fun, and not in school. We had a great day playing in the snow.

Science Adventures in Grade One

Mom has been busy teaching 12 grade ones all about science for three days!!! It has been lots of fun, and a great deal of work to put together, so I haven't had much time to post!!!Building spaghetti bridges for our experiment...
More photos of Bruno skiing....go Bruno!!!
Learning to make pizzas and look at his instructor

Birthday Party Craziness

Max was invited to a birthday party at Crash Crawlies, which was crazy: a rainy Saturday with a million kids. I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown!! If you know Crash Crawlies, you will understand.
Bruno looking a little exhausted by the whole endeavour

Skiing at Mount Seymour

Finally, Bruno is learning to ski...A great day for skiing,
