Heather is Here


My sister came for the weekend. It's strange to have her come visit Regina, and I'm the only one here! We've had a great time. Yesterday we spent most of the day in Kennedy visiting Grandma and Grandpa, plus Natasha and Aaden (bonus- see the cute kid in the pic!). Grandma and Grandpa were in fine trim and we had a fun time together- Grandpa cracking jokes and Grandma chatting and telling stories. That's the best. Then on the way back we stopped to see Aunty Lois. She was feeling a bit glum, so we did our best to cheer her spirits by running the 100m wheelchair dash down Central Ave. in Kipling, with one of us pushing and the other sitting on her lap. We laughed and laughed and laughed. I thought it could be some kind of event at the home- every person in the home gets a pusher and a rider, and then we have a relay race around the block. How fun does that sound?!

This week I must get back into "P" mode. You know what that means. But it's okay, this time around I'm planning all sorts of fun things- like poetry units, studies on plants and oceans or Canada, or multiplying fractions. I'll give you the commenter of the year award if you can explain exactly what it really means to multiply a fraction.
16 days left in the land of space and sky...
