LIBRARY:
The weather has been quite nice the last little while. So thankful for no big snowstorms...although in Ontario it seems to be the norm...*thinking of you guys! We've had blue skies and aside from some crazy wind, it's been great. I decided to take advantage of it and took the kids to Lethbridge and we stopped in at the library and they've got a big fish pond at the entrance and an electric train driving around. It's really neat for kids and James was just mesmerized. He quickly learned where the button was to get the train going again and it took more than bribing him with candy to get him out of there. There is a toy library there as well so one can pick any toy they want and take it home and return in three weeks. Ideal for getting new toys in the house without the cost associated (and the clutter). Hereby some pics for those visual people out there...
PARK:
Henderson Lake (I think) it's called. A really beautiful and random park in the middle of Lethbridge. We took a walk around the lake and James went to play on the playground. It was packed full of kids all taking advantage of the weather and getting outside. So wonderful to have these breaks in wintertime.
James plomped down on the spinning climb thingy and the boys pushed and pushed it round and James just loved it.
For all those curious, the reason why there are trees here is because they were planted after WWII to commemorate and remember those lives lost in the battles.
BAKING:
Yes. I've been trying to bake bread. It's an uphill battle, but the results are fun. Here is some raisin bread I attempted which worked out quite well.
OUR NEW WAGON:
One day, I went to go check our mail in town and I could not believe my eyes! There was a HUGE package waiting for me. Sweet!!! I love those days! Turns out it was technically addressed to James and Nicole, so once we were home we unwrapped our gift and it turned out to be a really cool red wagon which could have wheels under it or skiis! Neato! This wonderful gift was from Auntie Irene!!!! Thanks again Irene, we have already had so much fun with it. James likes to haul around our black cat and take him for rides! Here's some pictures:

DECK:
We are building a deck! Yay! So looking forward to this summer! Jasper started building it Saturday last week and he is using Family Day to try to get a good chunk of it done. Totally fine by me! He's building it himself and I'm mighty proud of him! The kids love looking out our windows and watching him.
Ok so ironically, the deck is already looking different while I am typing this. Here's an updated picture!
Nicole cannot wait to get out and play on it!
Till next time folks!~
