Thanks so much to the crew at TWT for providing us with this opportunity to write and share. I'm not sure if any Americans celebrate this holiday, but up in Canada yesterday was Family Day! Since the -30 weather kindly left, we bundled up for a day of skiing and snowboarding, but having five in the family means that sometimes someone has to bend a bit. We are skiing again with the school tonight too, so my youngest was not overjoyed with the choice of activity. What to do? We'd already spent much of this bitter weekend indoors, so we packed up the Vex Robotics Kit he got for Christmas, and plunked him in the chalet with a lunch tray. My husband and I took turns skiing with two kids or building, and maybe writing a plan for a blog post in my Notebook, with William. It was a great day with lots of breaks, fries, hot chocolate and laughs. That robot spider, after four hours? Still not done!

No such thing in the US. I'm originally from Canada, though I moved away beforeFamily Day became a holiday. All of my family still lives in Canada( I'm the only one who has gone over to the Dark Side) and I love hearing how they spend the day. I'm coming back if you know who gets elected in November.

Lol! We're watching that election closely too. It's going to be a long one though! It already feels like the campaign has gone on forever. I can't believe we have to read about it until November! Here's hoping we don't get you back. We'd be happy to have you though. ;)

Sounds like a lovely compromise--everyone's happy! And glad you got out for the day!
