But we’re having trouble getting water to stay in one end. Yes, the ground is not even, but I think there might be a hole in the tarp too. Yech. So the ice is pretty thin at one end, but the kdis had fun anyway!

We took a lovely walk through Carburn Park today and stopped for awhile to play at the playground.

Andrew and Kelly had a great time at the playground and chased each other up and down the slides and played together on the swing and the climbers. Hannah and Melanie also played together but were much less active…

Since we don’t have very much snow this winter we decided that it would be fun to go give it a try at Carburn. Melanie brought hers too and they both made it all the way around the paved path in the park. Andrew looked like he was working pretty hard at points, but he got better and better as we went.

Not much to say about this. Louise and Melanie play a duet on the piano. It’s nice. Listen.

We don’t have lots of snow, but there was just enough to see how well they worked. Although Melanie wasn’t totally hooked, Andrew loved it. We’ll try to get into the mountains for a real test soon.

We had a quiet Christmas at home this year with just our immediate family. Although somewhat odd not to have a houseful of family, it was kind of nice too. We’ll be seeing family at the end of the week, so we’ll get the best of both worlds. The kids still had lots of excitement as they opened their presents and played with all the new stuff!

Well at the School they actually call it the “Winter Concert” instead of a Christmas concert, but we all know that they’re doing it right before Christmas holidays and therefore it’s really the Christmas concert, no matter what religion anyone believes in. But that’s just my rant for the day!

Both of the concerts were great and both Andrew and Melanie were very involved. Andrew’s class actually took their show on the road yesterday and performed for “The Grandparents” at a local Seniors home. Apparently some of the residents didn’t stop talking about the show all day! Andrew was loud and bouncy and got rave reviews for his performance.

Melanie also had a central role and got to play the bongo drums during her performance. It looked like lots of fun…

I finally asked him what it would take to get him to stop. He told me that for a Light Up Light Saber he would do it. “I Promise!!”. So I agreed that if he went a whole week then I would buy it for him. I had no idea where to get it or what it would cost, but it was worth it. And he did it. Yay!

Yes, this is blatant bribery, but I’m totally OK with it. He stopped peeing his pants cold turkey. I’m a happy dad.
