I am now conviced more than ever that kids don’t need a lot the keep them amused.  Forget the TV, computer, or video games and give them something simple.  Today we had a beautiful visitor.  After cleaning the fish tank glass the sun was shining on it and when we walked into the living room there ...

The kids decorated the tree at first

We put up our Christmas tree earlier then usual this year due to pressure from our five year old and many parents who asked her if we had the tree up yet.  When she told them no they would give her a sad face and say something like, “well you better get ...

Another week has passed and our march towards the end of the fall season continues.  I know I originally said we would do this for 15 weeks but it is feeling a bit more like winter out there now and the Christmas season with all it’s activities and crafts to do is practically underway.  Santa arrives in town this ...

On that note this one will be just a quick entry as time is going by fast and I need to start thinking of next week’s activity already.  Last week we didn’t actually do any of ...

I may be a little late with writing about our Fall activity challenge but we are on schedule with our outings.  This past week we played squirrel as we went to the park to collect acorns.  We are far more frivolous with our nuts then the practical squirrel however as instead of food our acorns turned ...

This past weekend we had another fall outing as a family, this time to the local fish hatchery. In British Columbia there are numerous hatcheries and most are open year-round.  Fisheries and Oceans Canadahave a good page listing all hatcheries.
