Catching up!

Had a good weekend away with hockey. There is not much in Springhill besides a Tim Horton's and a really nice rink. When we were driving around, Sarah asked where people who lived in Springhill bought their cloths. Always thinking isn't she. Connor's team played much better but still lost both games by one goal. Connor played really well. I told him every game I see something he is doing better. I had just finished saying to one of the mother's sitting beside me during the first game that I thought it was hard for Connor to look tough on the ice with bright orange laces in his skates. I just had the words out when he checked the captain of the other team into the boards. The other mother said "there, that's how he looks tough". Can't believe I cheer for a good hit. Sarah had a great time in the hotel with the other "older" sisters. And unfortunately as usual, the parents had too much fun too! Go to bed at 2am and get up at 7am, not a good mix. The drive home was long because of course it had to snow on the Cobequid pass, hate that road. But back home safe and sound. Kids are in school, Connor has a couple of projects and Sarah is studying for her first ever set of exams. Should be a tense week! Had book club last night at Taryn's house. Cute house and had a great time as usual. Her dog Macy is very cute and I think she thinks she is human cause she sure loved the napkins and paper plates. Obviously the dog does not know us very well, because we do not leave anything on the plates when we are done. Learned a very useful term last night........"coffee - avec" which translates to coffee with any kind of alcohol you want or have. I'm thinking for the non-coffee person I am, mine would be "hot-chocolate avec" that will work very nicely in some of those cold NS rinks! Have a great one!
