cool word of the day

I was reading an article in which an investor said... " I'm not investing to become a big spender. If anything, I kind of abhor much of the profligacy that I see around me." So I looked it up...

Paralympics

Can't wait for the Paralympics to start as the Art Gallery will be free. Looks like the Mint will be open soI can take the kids to touch the metals (apparently lineup was 5 hours during the Olympics). Also, read that the UBC Botanical Gardens will be free.

Went downtown today... all the USA Olympic gear is 50% off. Canadian gear is not on sale yet but London Drugs has 50% off Olympic souvenirs if you want a key chain or tea towel.

The Bay had lots of merchanise so I imagine it will go on sale at some point. Supply and demand.

Back in town

We escaped the City for 9 days during the Olympics. At first I was a little disappointed... we had no choice as I rented the house for the Olympics... but after being in the City for the first few days of this event, I realised that it was not a small children friendly event. The crowds at the free venues were massive. There were lineups to get in everywhere and small children don't really care. We were on Granville Island and all my girls wanted to do was see the ducks.

Had a fab time with my family in Edmonton and even skated for free 4 times.

Finally some pics...

Feeling like I am getting the clutter under control with two new shelves in Coco's room PLUS this cool kitchen area.

Coco started skating again. Once again I am trying to find a preschool for next year. This time for Hazel. Waiting to hear about French Immersion for Coco.

Love to all.
