We enjoyed a fun weekend with Mike’s sister, Aunt Mary! It went by in a blur but there were plenty of fun times. Saturday was low key playing games at home, walking round Blue Lake, playing in the back yard, eating snow ice cream and root beer floats. Oh… and baking bread! Sunday we took bigger excursions to Ashcroft to ski and remind ourselves what snowy mountains look like, followed by hot tub time and eating brownies hot out of the pan for an early birthday celebration for Mike.
On Monday Mike took Mary to the airport at 5:30am and the Mike and Tina dropped the kids off at the school bus at 7:25! No tears. Good attitudes too, though I can’t say the kids were really excited either!
Emma is keeping it together really well after news of a classroom change. She started thinking positively of friends of friends that she knows in those classes so “at least I will have 3 friends” she said going to bed last night. She’s accepted the news and is finding ways for it to be good. As she came home Monday she was all smiles. It turns out she knows almost everyone and is quite happy with her new teachers.
