Tiny Treasures

A picture they had on display of Emma, Libby & Mackenzie
Art she made on the wall
Her attendance chart...she hasn't missed a day yet
Libby's journal, they draw a picture and the teacher writes exactly what they say the picture is.
"It is my mom, she is making apple pie!
"This is a seesaw in my backyard"
Journal entry, "This is a jelly fish sleeping"
Libby's picture on the wall
Monthly calendar, Libby was the "weather girl" on Thursday, November 23rd. She got to say what the weather was like, she picked sunny
Other corner, dress up, kitchen and food corner
Back of the classroom, sand table, water play table & book corner
Tables the kids sit at...Libby sits at the orange table right now with Mrs. Weeks...she will switch tables each term
Libby's classroom one corner...painting, coloring, trucks & cars

Sleeping

Libby fell asleep like this...I moved her because I knew she would wake up screaming cause her arm would have been fast asleep.

The Halifax Playground

Sleeping beauty...I went through the car wash and they didn't even wake up, these were taken while I was in the car wash.
And both fell asleep on the way home from lunch
The girls selling icecream on a really chilly day
Lincoln taking a break
Peter was left over with the girls pushing them "highest of all" as Mackenzie would say
at the bottom, that was a twisting slide....but he just got off and went back up again
He climbs up himself and sits down and pushes off and down he goes....
Lincoln was on the verge of being rocked to sleep by the swing
Krysta & Jay going for a ride
Both kids in the big swing
Down the slide...he has no fear
Lincoln cruising through the playground

Bedtime

And everyone is all smiles before they hit the hay....
He's happy, there is always a smile for the camera
Not sure if he's happy or sad
Lincoln tired of playing, wanting his bed
The kids playing in my bed, cause Tim was away this weekend on the Men's Retreat

ETS Units

We hope to eventually knock down the wall between the kitchen & dinning room to make it a more open concept.

Front on view

Unit in dinning room

Front on view of the ETS unit in the basement. It is size large, our upstairs is a medium. They decide what size your house needs when they come out to assess your house. ETS gives you half price power between 11pm - 7 am every day and 1/2 price power on weekends & holidays. So in the long run if you run your dryer and dishwasher at the right times you have huge savings for your power bill. The ETS unit is filled with bricks that store heat at night and release it during the day.

Base ETS unit...we got rid of our pellet stove and now we are all electric heat
7 holes were made in total....
The holes that were made in the walls and ceilings to run the really big red wire from the panel to the 2 units
Another angle...
