5 years ago today, we left our lovely little house, in The Village. We spent the next two days staying with Moo and Grandma and Grandad before beginning our adventure here in Canada. WOW!
Huffle and I got up early in order to get to our Parent Interviews at school. We left the kids at home watching TV and eating breakfast. We saw Smallest's teachers first. PaddingtonsDad. He said that Smallest was a polite student who everyone liked, even the Grade 5's. His work was good and he was very happy with him. He had no concerns. Small's teacher MrBeard was also happy with Small, especially with his leadership qualities and his willingness to help younger students. He suggested his path in High School should be a Pure Academic (which is a University path) and we would be getting home lots of helpful info regarding this. He said he would also look into some outside courses that would help him ie code and robotics. He will also put him forward for the Science Olympics again this year. We were very happy with both of their reports at this stage and extremely happy with what their teachers had to say. There were two of Smallest's teachers missing today due to illness but we didn't need to see them as we had no concerns at all.
The boys and I made a picnic and headed out to the Lake where we met up with Suffolk and her kids. We walked to the big rocks in the water kicking a ball on the way and had lunch on the rocks. The kids played on them afterwards and threw rocks and stones into the water.
LittleKid needed the toilet so Suffolk and her went off one way and the rest of us went off to the beach and built some rock structures on the way, still kicking the ball.
On the beach we played frisbee but unfortunately it ended up in the water four times and MiddleKid and BigKid had to wade in the freezing cold water to get it. Suffolk and LittleKid came back to us and continued playing frisbee until we lost it forever in the lake. We were hoping a dog would fetch it for us but it didn't (though we didn't ask it to).
We carried on walking until we went over the bridge and did some looking out over the water and then did some running up and down steps. Then we lost LittleKids ball which ended up in the water. We were hoping the canoeist would get it but he didn't (though we didn't ask him to).
LittleKid was upset so we got out our bouncy ball and played with that all the way and we stopped to play a game with a it until it was time to go home.
What a lovely day, thank you Suffolk and Kids. The boys and I drove home and they caught up with a bit of Tv before Huffle and I took them out for dinner to say well done for excellent reports and parent/teacher interviews. Unfortunately the restaurant they chose wouldn't take reservation's and told us over the phone they wouldn't be busy and when we got there, there was a 45 minute wait and we were already hungry, so we went to another favourite one instead. Here we had lovely pizzas and dipping bread.
Back home, the boys watched the end of I'm a Celeb in Small's room (this time Small let Smallest onto his bed, but only at the end of it and he wasn't allowed a pillow or cushion or blanket).
