What I'm reminiscing about...

The loss by both Canadian hockey teams in their gold medal games reminded me of the Blue Jays loss in Game 7 of the World Series. As disappointed as we were for all of this, I ultimately felt good about the games the teams played and the excitement that came from watching. I have always been a sports fan and I'm always surprised that others aren't as into it.  I overheard a lady at the ski hill on Sunday morning "so is this the gold medal game?" Uh yeah!!

What I'm loving...

The little things that the kids are making with the 3D printer. I will have to do a whole post about the useful (and not so useful) things they have made.  

What I'm dreading...

Packing for our trip - it seems we will need clothes for early spring, including rain gear, and skiing. How many pairs of shoes and boots do I need!?!!

What we've been up to...

Watching all of the Olympics and feeling good about ourselves as a country. Canadians, in case you missed it, check out CBC's montage reel on their Instagram page (@cbcolympics).

What I'm working on...

Just like last year at this time, I am trying to sort out some contract work before our March Break holiday. Since I will be in different time zone, and on the ski slopes, I'm hoping things settle down so I'm not feeling like I need to be doing work on my holiday.

What I'm excited about...

Baseball season will be here soon. With Q's tryout last week and another one this weekend I have run into a few parents and it is fun to reconnect with them. Dave went out with some of the baseball dads last week and I said we need a baseball moms' night out now!

What I'm watching/reading...

I'm watching Love Story, the JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette story (haircuts with serious supporting roles in that show), The Pitt, and random movies with the kids (all the Spidermans, and Dumb & Dumber). 

I am reading The Correspondent right now.

What I'm listening to...

The Crazy Stupid Love Rewatchables podcast episode, it really is one of my favourite movies. I need to watch it again soon. 

What I'm doing this weekend...

The boys are both going on school ski trips on Friday, then we will do our regular ski day on Saturday, and a race for E at Devil's Glen on Sunday. 

What I'm looking forward to next month...

PDAC (Toronto's mining conference with lots of social events), the end of season ski banquet, our March Break trip to Europe to ski, Dave's birthday, and perhaps some melting snow!

What else is new...

I did not get around to sharing this photo last week, the kids made the pancakes for Shrove Tuesday.  This is a bit of a posed photo with E looking extra helpful, haha.

Linking up with Shay.
