welcome february

Throughout my whole life February has been my least favourite month. Though short, it's cold and it's just dull. This year it's getting off to a pretty good start. This weekend past we spent at our friends' cottage and had some great fun, food, wine and rest. This Thursday, much to our amazement we are celebrating Kate's fifth birthday followed by her Circus-school themed party on Saturday. On the 21st, the kids and I depart for Calgary for 18 days of family, friends and even skiing! 

Other big February news...

We've been talking with the kids' Montessori about putting Elliott in full day classes. He's seemed really keen to stay and spend lunch and recess with his friends. Friday of last week we received the green light to bring him in all day Monday.  When I picked him up he was all smiles, busily working beside his sister. He told me "I had a good day Mama. Not a bad day." Typically he tells me he's having a "bad day" twenty times a day, whenever he doesn't get his way.  I can quite honestly say he's never told me he's had a "good day".  Not sure whether this is an insult to me or the highest compliment to his friends and teachers.  Either way we are quite proud of him and look forward to great things. I on the other hand have been feeling a little lost and was quite anxious to have them back yesterday at pick up.I guess it take a little time to adjust and fill my time.

This video pretty much sums up our weekend. Cheers Best family.

And here is Elliott still feeling pretty proud with lots of energy after school yesterday.

Stay tuned to see our five year old in action this week. 

Love,
