Well another day of awesome weather here. I need to keep reminding myself that I do indeed live in Ontario Canada! lol It was plus 10 here today! For January thats insane! Today went fairly well. We just finished watching a show on archery on the history channel. It was really cool. Tyler was sort of half watching, half now as he decorated his calender for the month of january. We picked up these really cool calenders that have a two page spread for each month but its blank other then the squares and some black and white drawings so that the kids can draw in their own picture for each month and colour in the pictures the way they want to. THey are very cool little calanders. The kids are having a hayday with them. I am gonna break it down to child today because I am having a wee problem organizing my thoughts...lol

Today has gone fairly well. I am proud of myself on how I handled situations that came up and I am happy about how things worked out. I like that I am going to try and do this journal every night though, it reminds me of the things they are doing. Just be living they are exploring so many different thoughts and ideas, nevermind the fact that our house is peaceful. Its great!
