An excellent day.

[pyat]

Worked from home till about noon, then went to an observation day at Elizabeth's junior kindergarten for an hour. She's doing very well.

This was followed by lunch with velvetpage at the Tally Ho restaurant in Westdale, where we dined on their enormous (and juicy) roast beef sandwiches. We spent 20 minutes with our solicitor, finally getting our wills settled, then took jog to Bayshore Hobbies, where velvetpage got nifty purple dice and I bought a half-price Hackmaster supplement.

We picked up the girls at my parents - they were being artistic:





Thence home, where I watched Beauty and the Beast with my girls, then worked out, made supper, and awaited the arrival of sassy_fae and catsarah. I spent the evening with three quite charming ladies. We all sat around, doodling, chatting, not doing much of anything - though catsarah gave velvetpage her first drawing lessons - till almost midnight.

And that is where things stand right now.

Tomorrow - gaming and more socialization, and the first day of a long weekend!

Good night, LJ.

You also get a long weekend?

Yup! A brand new generic civic holiday called "Family Day", coined last year in Ontario. Though in Manitboa they celebrate "Louis Riel Day," which, to an Upper Canadian is a bit like an American hearing that they celebrate "Benedict Arnold Day" two towns over.

Cool! Our generic holiday is President's Day, which was created when the cheapskates decided it was too expensive to give everyone TWO days off in the same month (Lincoln's birthday and Washington's birthday).

There is something about seeing tiny ones with paper and pencils and crayons and books ... the accoutrements of literacy ... that just grabs me.

You picked the right profession, then!

I love hearing them talk about ideas, too.

I still get surprised, from time to time, with how creative my kids both can be.

Wow, they're growing up, didn't you just have the baby last month? :D

Nice pictures!

Despite living near the Tally Ho!, we've actually never eaten there.
