I think I uploaded these photos on Monday night and now it's Thursday when I am finally getting the chance to comment on them. That pretty much sums up my life right now!
Work is insane, pretty much as bad as I have ever had it. I don't mean to complain because I enjoy a lot of it... but I am definitely under water in a lot of areas, too, and it's carrying over to other areas of my life. I haven't had much of a break/lunch hour/evening without some tidying up to do this week, and I could work all weekend and still not be caught up. I have a feeling that I am going to need to get used to this.
But that didn't stop me from tagging along with Liam's class to the Christmas tree farm on Monday. It was freaking cold. I mean, it was only a couple of degrees below zero, but the teacher made a comment about how much colder it would feel when we were in the forest and she was bang on. Thank goodness there were campfires scattered about for impromptu warming up - we needed them! The downside to that is that I cannot get the smell of campfire smoke out of the house now. I have washed all the snowpants, mitts, hats etc. but my camera still smells and I don't think there's much I can do about that.
We had a great time at the farm, hiking through the trees, riding a train around the property, running around the playground and winding our way through two mazes (cedar and straw). Kindergarteners have it made, man.
I am really hoping that work doesn't cramp my style too much on Monday, because the kindergarteners are going to be living it up again - they are putting on a concert and then inviting us back to their classroom for a party. I am very lucky to have a job that is mostly pretty flexible and I know that sooner or later, there will be an event that I cannot worm my way out of work to attend. But I am very much hoping that Monday is not the day that happens.

I chuckle a bit cause here if it dips below freezing they do not allow the kids outdoors, but in Canada it is below zero and you are out playing in the elements!
I think the official policy for Liam's school is that they no longer go outdoors when it is -16 C or below. We're pretty tough!!
