Looks like we made it

Well, after making it through Lent, Holy Week and Easter (while certainly a most joyous occasion but more stressful time for Wayne) Wayne decided we needed to "get out of Dodge" and took advantage of a telemarketers offer one evening while I was at a Ladies' Aid meeting at church. Before I knew what happened we were on our way to Quebec - more specifically to Mont Tremblant for 2 nights at an unbelievable price of $120 if we agree to sit through a time-share presentation. He apparently agreed for the both of us and off we went. Not having been there before I wasn't sure what to expect but it turned out pretty good. Our room was quite the deal for the price for sure - fireplace, separate bedroom (a plus for kids!) and a kitchenette. The time share presentation was tolerable and they provided babysitting for the kids who had a blast. Will and Wayne went skiing while Zanna and I shopped and looked around. The worst part of the trip is now that Zanna can climb out her pack and play - she does. I watched her in action and it's pretty funny to watch if I wasn't so stinking tired. First she chucks "Rou Rou" over the edge followed by her blankie. Then she hikes up her leg and climbs over to be reunited with her sleeping buddies. This gives her WAY too much freedom. So after I clued into what was going on I just kept returning her to her bed. Over and over and over again. Not fun.
Here's Will in the VW that takes him up to the ski hill.
Will has started a pottery class that he is really enjoying. He is doing this with a couple other homeschool buddies. They've made quite a few creations so far and I got to watch him at the wheel this last time and it was pretty cool. I think the boys like that they get to play in the clay and get dirty! Ha!
We had another book club on "Mr Poppers Penguins" and the theme of the day was - you guessed it, penguins. They all made a penguin mask and walked around "goorking" until the Mom's couldn't take anymore. The older kids did a scavenger hunt outside (the weather's finally nice) and the little ones played on the playground. Zanna managed not to attack anyone this time. We're making progress. As far as his other studies are concerned - we're almost done with Math - 8 more lessons! We finished a study on Poetry this last week and learned about the first Queen Elizabeth in History.
I am writing this now to avoid the housework I should be doing. Unfortunately, no one has done it for me while I've been doing this so I better get back to work!
