A New Classroom


This morning we woke up to a torrential downpour.  It was literally raining sheets and water was gushing down the streets in front of our house.  This weather was ill-timed in that I had planned to take Sydney to the PNE today but after some thought decided that we might try going on Saturday instead.

So we snuggled up at home, called the housekeeper over to clean and got ourselves organized around here.  After an entire summer without her playroom while we've been doing construction in the basement, Syd was thrilled to spend a few hours putting it all back together today!




Syd has been begging me for some time to make her a batch of Flubber, a gooey playdough like substance made from glue, water, food colouring and Borax.


So we whipped up a bright blue batch and she and I had the best time playing together with it!








Here's the recipe if you want to make yourself a batch!


Yesterday I spent the day with my sister setting up her new classroom for the start of the school year next week.  After years of working as a teacher on call she finally has a space to call her own in the sweetest school tucked away in the mountains in Port Moody, I loved it!


We had a great time together and I helped paper and decorate some walls and a bulletin board to welcome all her students.



Hard to believe that September is a breath away!
