Fort Albany, Wednesday November 23, 2011

It’s been a bit crazy around here. Depending on how you look at life’s glass of water, I guess you could either say that it’s been stressful as hell and testing our sanity, or that it’s just a way to better appreciate the upcoming holidays and all the joys they include J

The Northern Store is handing out sheets for a colouring contest for the kids, so I’ve grabbed some of those and it’ll certainly be a nice treat for them next week.

I stayed after school a bit later last night and almost finished decorating the door – pictures to be presented soon! The classroom and bulletin board are next on the list. We’ve also begun our Christmas play – a short comedy on losing Santa and how the elves figure out who’s a fake and who’s the real St. Nick. A lot of the kids wanted to be Santa so I added in a few more to the line up ;)

The weather’s warmed up quite a bit from the last few days and was a couple degrees above freezing today – everything’s melting!

 

This is a beatutiful house they're building down the road where we go for a lot of walks. They've been going mad trying to get the roof finished before the real snow falls and I think they've just recently succeeded. It's gonig to be a 'quaint' wood cabin with two levels plus, and only seven simple rooms. A stone's throw away from the river and cozily nestled in to the bush just so. Sigh.
