April 27 - May 1 COVID 19 School Schedule

-

Wow what a week last week was! I feel like we finally have a good schedule and the weather looks like it might warm up again. This will make life a lot easier as we can then try to get outside for "recess" in both the morning and afternoon. On the days when we don't get out we still love to go down to the basement and play on the "rink". My youngest is getting much sturdier on his skates and more comfortable moving around on his own (he even likes to take shots on his brother now!). My oldest has also shown improvements in his confidence and his ability to do a crossover. We love going down to the ice for a skate and to play in the basement when the weather isn't nice enough to get outside. I've even made the boys a scoreboard this weekend for their rink. Now we can choose which teams we want to be and keep track of the score! I also think its a nice piece of art for the basement on a wall that has been black for the 5 years we have lived in the house...



Our plants are also doing really well! I am so excited to see how they continue to grow and will be so happy if they survive to planting time and can get into the garden.


Another proud success we had last week was the fact that my oldest son is getting really good at writing on the line. Who knew that this was a task to learn, but it is and we are starting to get it!!! My sister - in - law lives in Alberta and was talking to us about the Grizzly bears which is what lead to this lesson. We learnt some fun facts and had a good time retelling her about what he had learned that day.


This week is SHARK WEEK!!! Not the actual shark week on TV but at our home school we are going to have shark week. My sons love sharks! They are really interested in them so why not dedicate an entire week to learning about shark! I have baby shark on the last day as a celebration song but it is my youngest sons favourite song right now so we will probably listen to it every day...

    This system replaces the unique spinning wheel found in playing machines from the primary half of the 20 th century. The RNG is capable of continuously producing thousands of random numbers 바카라 and, within the case of the three-reel slot, thousands of three-number mixtures each second . Each of these three numbers within the mixture serves to designate where the reels will cease. When casinos a glance at|have a look at} how a slot machine is performing, essentially the most fundamental quantity they a glance at|have a look at} is the drop. Another quantity you might hear is deal with, which Ambrose defines as the whole amount guess by a participant.

Black bean Sweet Potato Quesadillas

-

Sorry for the lack of posting but with the end of the school year near and a kindergartener learning online at home we have been a little busy over here!  This was not a typical mean for us as it was meatless but we’ve been trying to mix up our meal plans with a meatless meal once a week. This was a delicious sweet potato and black bean quesadilla. Lots of flavours and so filling!  We have been trying to incorporate one meatless meal a week which has been fun and challenging. It has really forced me to think out of the box with different meal ideas and this one was just too good not to share. It is kid friendly which is very important in our house.  I also really liked this meal as I was able to bake the sweet potato a head of time and then have everything ready for when it was time to make dinner. It was really easy and a lot of fun to make them together.  Ingredients: 1 sweet potato 1 tbsp busters BBQ rub  I can black beans or kidney beans drained and rinsed...

Fresh Tomato Marinara/Pizza Sauce

-
Image
 We LOVE pizza in this house and any way to add extra flavour to make it better I am all over that. We had an abundance of tomatoes come off our tomato plants this year and were needing to come up with more ways as to how to use them. I was able to make soup and pasta sauce and then thought that this pizza sauce would be another great option as we eat pizza pretty regularly. I also froze a lot of tomatoes as it was hard to keep up with them all turning red at the same time. Frozen tomatoes work well with this sauce as well as they are getting cooked down anyway.  This sauce is a runnier sauce as I'm not a fan of a super thick pizza sauce and love how it adds just a touch of flavour to the pizza. If you are wanting it to thicken more, add some tomato paste to help it thicken.  Ingredients: 16 cups chopped tomatoes (Garden fresh add a lot more flavour) 1 onion 1-2 full heads of Garlic (I LOVE garlic so I tend to add more) 2 TBSP Olive Oil  2 TBSP Italian seasoning 1 TB...

Banana Cinnamon Muffins

These muffins have been a hit in our house for a couple of years now. My one son (who we call the muffin man) asks for them all the time. I love this recipe too because it is so versatile. I have made them plain, added a cinnamon sugar topping, added chocolate chips and even raspberries or blueberries. My favourite is adding a blueberry raspberry mixture. My children obviously love the chocolate chips or cinnamon sugar topping.  I honestly love how easy and versatile this recipe is. It seems to taste delicious no matter what I add to it. I also love that it can be made in one bowl and I have less dishes to do in the end. BUT my absolute favourite part about this recipe is how easy it is to make with my boys. They both love to help out in the kitchen and this is a simple enough recipe for them to help out with.  INGREDIENTS: - 2/3 cup sugar - 1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil - 2 large eggs - 2 bananas mashed - 1 tsp vanilla - 1 2/3 cups flour - 1 tsp baking soda - 1 tsp cinnamon...
