Have you ever tried to slide down a snowy driveway riding a non-stick turkey baking pan or an inflatable pool mattress?
Well we have, they both work well. Liam reports that he prefers the turkey pan because its non stick coating really works.. Liya prefers the “poofiness” of the inflatable mattress.

This year my birthday party was split between the Bellevue Skate park where everyone had a blast skateboarding or giving it a try for the newbies
Then we went back to our house for Lunch and snowed over Castle Cake!

Liam is in a very intense baseball league this year. Between games and practices he ends up with an average of 10 hours of ball play a week..

Here’s a couple photos of the last game (videos will follow next week):

English tutor: “have we talked about roots, yet?”
Liam: “you mean square roots?”
English tutor: ” huummm… no, let’s talk about the roots of words”.
