Longing for Spring

A pause in the storm – I’m not sure if I want to venture out.

Beware the Ice Princesses

I spent the morning with grade 4 kids, getting them totally wound up as we created stories together. We discovered one teacher, Mrs. L, was in fact Bob the Blob, in disguise. He’d come out of a pipe, burbling strange noises, and hidden the real Mrs. L in the closet. And, for anyone with any association with grade 4 classes, be warned: they’ve been infested by ice princesses intent on freezing and taking over the world. This is why it’s still snowy here. All their fault.

Later, the kids created monsters. I think I’ll have nightmares from some of their creations!

More on Life In The Inner City

My neighbour has a skunk living under her back entry.

My neighbour’s house is going to be torn down.

Ergo…

Sigh. Time for some skunk-proofing.
