My 34th birthday.....

We had a great night last night.

Scarlett decorated the kitchen, with streamers, she set the table with birthday plates cups and a table cloth.

She didn't want any help, she made me wait upstairs while she did it so I would be surprised when I came downstairs.

Martin took her out shopping and on her own she picked me out some very beautiful slippers and p.j.'s. Hot pink slippers, and hotpink p.j.'s with snow flakes all over them. I looked like a big thing of cotton candy.

It was a great birthday, the kids were so excited to sing to me, when I dropped them off at daycare, they made all of the teachers wish me a happy birthday, and they invited most of them to the party.

Our night at the Rockettes....

Scarlett and I went to the Hummingbird Centre to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular with the Rockettes.

Scarlett was mesmorized during the show, the look of excitement and joy on her face was pretty amazing.

Of course now she wants to be a Rockette.

Her favorite part was the Wooden soldiers, and the multiple Santa's as they explain how Santa can be in so many places.

I absolutely loved the Nativity scene at the end. Very well done, and totally in keeping with the spirit of Christmas

We will definetly go again next year.

Silly us we set off to the mall this morning, with the idea of seeing Santa. We had high hopes for a quick line-up and then off to finish our shopping.

Almost 2 1/2 hours later, this is the best picture we could get. Scarlett did want to go up at all, and Kaleb was making the really silly faces.

Over all give the waiting time not a bad picture

Scarlett's Senior Kindargarten Picture and report card...

Mrs Stickle


What a great report card, we are so proud of her.

Our interview with the teacher went great, she really didn't have anything to talk about. Scarlett is acceling at reading, and she is going to start sending home harder books for her to read. At the end of Kindergarten they should be reading at a level 5. By the end of Grade One they should be somewhere in the 16-20 range. Scarlett is at the 14-16 level.

Agian we were told that she is accelling at all academic aspects of Kindergarten, socially she is a great asset to the class. She is very friendly and outgoing with all of the kids, and is friends swith all of the students.

She still needs to work on appropriate reactions to things that she is asked to do that she dosen't want to. While she has grown up emotionally, it is still the one thing that is holding her back.

We talked again about giving her harder work to do, as she is a bit bored. Again the teacher talked about how she is going to have her more involved in Grade One work starting in January.
