The zoo was so fun! We were getting into the van, and I was opening the mail and we found a flat Stanley from Lethbridge in our mail, which worked out perfectly, we took him to the zoo with us! They have a baby hippo there, it is so cute! We saw most animals, although now that I think back we saw no monkeys, or primates. Hmm, must have totally missed their winter enclosure.
We got the company that we have been waiting for, which is great. The kids are probably totally driving them insane. It is hard to get them (even dd1) to understand that Aunty and Uncle are going to be here.........for more than a week...........that they are going to be living in our city................that you don't have to tell them your ENTIRE life story in two days. It has been very loud around here, even more than normal. But it is just so darn exciting!
Tomorrow the plan is to work on dd1's math goals. She has reached one, so earned herself a bronze medal. If she reads three full books (chapter books) this week she will earn a gold medal for reading as well. Then we will do a bit of our unit, learn a bit more about the history of the Olympic games, and we will look through the newspaper for stories about Canadian athletes at the games to clip out. Be ready, she may be calling soon or emailing with a survey question! Pray for her, she has her ballet evaluation on Tuesday - which is why we haven't done her CAT-3 tests yet, I wanted her to have the evaluation overwith first.
Thank you to those who have been remembering me in prayer this month. I feel like we are really gearing up to end our year well!
