This & that..

I took down the remainder of the Christmas decorations today. The place looks so empty.. I guess the contrast. But today we picked up a wall picture that I ordered online. Japan Photo has a site where you can make photo albums (hard & soft cover), gifts & wall pictures on canvas from a photo. So that helps to decorate the wall.

The kids will be starting ski school from next week. Once a week they go to a ski hill (if there's no snow, they have snow-making machines.. or whatever you call them) & have an instructors who teach the kids to ski. They do this almost every year, so if they learn the basics one year, they can continue to get better. This year we'll be having 3 kids up on the slopes.

I've started doing Tae bo again. My attempts to loose those extra kilos. "Haven't had the time til now".. standard excuse, but now I do it, whether I am dead tired. Andrey got the boot camp set for Christmas. Tried the first part & found it easier & slower than the other advanced one we would do.. where you feel like dying while you do it.

Other than that.. I am looking forward to the week-end with the kids. I have decided to get some games & puzzles up from storage & set aside some of the girls' toys that they've grown out of to give away. We always manage to find someone who is thrilled to get their "grown out of" toys.

Have a good week-end!
