Some Spring, Some Snow

This is how we feel about more snow. We are tired of seeing the white stuff fall from the sky. It is falling hard right now, probably will have another 5 or more cm today. This is also how I feel about deer poop. There is so much of it to rake up, it is so gross. I will not miss deer poop. You can't walk on our grass without stepping on it! Gross.

On Wed mornings J Man and I go into Cranbrook with Paul. While Paul has a meeting we go to Starbucks, then hit the pet store and then to the library for story time. Last time we were at the pet store he found this dog. He headed straight there again yesterday to find his friend.

It is spring in Cranbrook. This is the evidence.

This is the fountain that J Man can finally play in at the pet store... you know 'cause it is spring there.  Not here.

Yesterday was also Egg Drop day at the girl's school. They both had to make a contraption that would protect their raw egg which was dropped from scaffolding in the gym. J Man and I went to watch and he sat with Beaner and her friend. J Man loves this friend, he told me just now as he saw the picture that he loves her. The three of them together is fun to watch but they do get into some mischief. There was a hair cutting incident the other weekend as the three of them played. J Man was the customer. Need I say more? Well, one more thing actually, I found him giving his own hair a trim yesterday. We had another talk about scissors and hair.

We are thinking about doing our big garage sale on Sat, but it needs to stop snowing and be nice. It may not happen.

We are having our "Good Friday Service" tonight.  I really enjoy it. We start out in candle light and sing somber songs about that night when Christ was betrayed and killed. There will be readings and communion and by the end all the candles will be blown out and we leave in darkness and silence. I am also looking forward to our Sunday service and the celebration that it will be. We also are doing an egg hunt with our neighbours this weekend, perhaps on a day when there is no snow. Cici is also having her last art class on Fri and a sleepover on Sun night, I might take the girls to go see the movie Rio on sleepover night too. It is turning into a busy weekend!
