Destination Imagination 2011

For the last 4 months I have been so busy working with students in this creative problem solving program!  Here the students are at the tournament.  We placed second in our category!  Well done, team! 

Chocolate Brownies before Shrove Tuesday

The boys love it anytime we bake together, so we decided to make brownies before we give up Chocolate for Lent....lots of fun!!!  Not sure if we will be able to give up Chocolate....

The Tooth Fairy is rich!!!!

Bruno was taking the chairlift up the mountain, and he was talking to a another boy who said that he got fifty dollars from the tooth fairy.  So, Bruno lost his tooth, wrote the Tooth Fairy a note, asking for fifty dollars, and giving her some change in exchange!

Let's just say that the tooth fairy did not deliver 50 dollars....Bruno then told us that is was the end of the night and she probably didn't have any money left!!

Reconciliation for Grade Two's

 Here is Bruno, participating in his first Reconciliation.  The students in grade two must participate in their first confession before First Communion.  Serious boy, thinking about his first confession. 
 Father Gino talking to the Grade Two Class.  He did a great job comparing Reconciliation with "cleaning your room" and putting everything in order.

 Max and Mom whispering to each other..
 Dad and Maximilian watching....
Bruno and the fabulous Miss Hewitt!!!

Basketball




Basketball season just ended and Max had a great time; it was a bit challenging trying to figure out offense and defense, and all the rules, but it was a great experience for Max!

Forgot about Valentine's....yikes

 We love Valentine's Day and all the creative valentine's to get. 



Boris received his first valentine from his lovely Poppy!!!  How cute!
