Kiandra and I had fun at the mall using our new Starbucks giftcards.

The weather granted a brief reprieve and Kezia begged to go skating outside.

Watching the Amazing Race finale

Band Concert groupie meeting his favourite performers after the concert.

It's not often the whole family comes out to cheer at a game....and it was a win 3-1.

11/25/2013

I'm happy that Kiandra put so much time and effort into this assignment....but disappointed at how much colouring "homework" my kids have in high school. (Seriously...my grade 1 friends don't colour as much as they do!)

The play that Kiandra has been practicing for opens today! In the next 4 days, they will perform 4 matinees and 4 evening shows. Instead of a bouquet of flowers, we got her a bouquet of fruit....the cat won't eat these AND it will promote healthy snacking over a period of grab and go suppers.

First snowfall today... and made me a little nervous to let Kiandra take the van out by herself but she made it to school and back safely. This is a new scary stage to be in.

11/16/2013

Kiandra and the rest of the cast heading into the school for the last Saturday practice before the play performances begin next week. She was there from 10:00 until almost 6:00.

11/12/2013

Final week of rehearsals for the play Kiandra is in next week...today's practice went until 8:30....that's a LONG day at school!

11/6/2013

Our church's Kid's Club...Kiandra and Kezia love volunteering their time on Wednesday nights.

10/27/2013

This is a change... I used to do her hair before church and today Kiandra did mine.

10/26/2013

long time family friends
+ spaghetti dinner
+ lots of laughter
= a great way to spend a Saturday night.

10/20/2013

Kiandra and Goliath

10/19/2013

Another driving milestone...first time driving without a passenger. Kiandra made it to and from school for drama practice AND a stop at the bank to deposit a babysitting cheque.

10/15/2013

Senior Band Concert tonight

10/10/2013

That time Kiandra and Kezia went to the mall by themselves this evening with Kiandra behind the wheel...

10/9/2013

The last place you'd expect to find Kiandra and Kezia...at their school's boys volleyball game. Our family friends from out of town were playing there and so our family went to watch the game. Unfortunately, this may have inspired Kaden to try out when he gets to high school.

10/6/2013

Last day to practice her parallel parking before her road test on Thursday.

10/5/2013

Saturday drama practice for Kiandra.
