So the Olympic cauldron probably isn't even cooled down yet, and I'm in withdrawal already. What will we do with ourselves, if we're not talking about the Olympics, watching them on TV, checking the internet (at work too...sshhhh!)?
I guess I'll have to watch the Bachelor. :)
What an amazing week the Canadian athletes had. A huge finish to the games. Man, I am a proud Canadian! The athletes are so inspiring and a great example to all of us.
Changing topics now (kind of) - do you like the new blog header?
The kids love their new shirts - and the shirts are lucky! I bought them yesterday, so they could wear them while we watched the hockey game. Before US scored their first goal, Ella put her favorite princess dress on over top of the shirt. Then the US scored and scored again. About 13 minutes into the OT period, Ella decided to take off the dress, and Crosby scored. Coincidence? I think not!

Olympic fever
I'll admit it - we are tuning into the Olympics all the time. I don't think we've let the kids watch one of their shows in a week! We are totally hooked and I seriously cry every day, watching clips and seeing the emotion these athletes show. I have never been so tuned in to an Olympic games as I am now. I check the CTV olympics site multiple times a day (sshhh!). We're even watching hockey! I just can't get enough!
The teachers must be talking up the games at school - Ben says that every day, the sport he picks is speed skating. 'Cause Cindy Klassen is a speed skater. :) And he was saying, "Vas-y tous les amis de Canada!" Translated as: "Let's go all of the friends of Canada!" Too cute!

Randoms
Just a quick list of the goings-on 'round here lately:
Ella is now jumping on the Star Wars bandwagon - she can be heard humming the Emperor's Theme anywhere the feeling takes over - say, getting dressed for dance class at the community center.
Ben has added a few more songs to his repertoire - a Boba Fett rap, Bananaphone, Peanut Butter Jelly Time (all from YouTube, of course!)
Apparently Ben also has a thing for ACDC. "TNT" came on the radio last week and he exclaimed, "I LOVE this song!" He has some friends at school who introduced him to the song. Who knew ACDC had such a strong 5-year-old fanbase??
We booked a spring break trip to Mexico - specifically, this resort. The kids already know, and Ben is constantly asking if it's March 27th yet! It's going to be a long two months...
The Olympic medals were at the Mint on Saturday, so we went to take a peek. Over two hours later, we finally got that peek! They are very, very nice. The kids weren't blown away or anything, but how often in your life do you get to be that close to them?
Some friends and I did a big batch cook on Sunday - so I came out with 28 meals, for approx. $230. Sweet deal! It was fun - tiring, being on your feet all afternoon - but we enjoyed it. I'm hoping that the kids will actually eat some of them too! ;)
