Pretty self-explanatory I think.

At the Jets game today they honored the Olympic athletes, including Jocelyn Larocque who played for the same hockey club that Sophia's girls team plays with.  She dropped the puck in the ceremonial face off and picked the 50/50 winner.

For some reason I forgot to take a picture today, so I'm using this one from a few days ago when I took the girls to Disney on Ice (same day the Canadian women won the gold medal).

Making chicken broth and spaghetti - mmmmm, smells good.

We were all pumped for the men's win over Sweden for gold today!  I watched the dying seconds before dashing off to church, a little late for choir sound check.

Playoff victory for Sophia's team!

Today Sophia had some science homework - they were supposed to randomly combine kitchen ingredients and record their observations.  I figured that could get boring in a hurry without a little guidance, so I google fun kitchen experiments and told her to try a few different things.  For this one you sprinkle pepper on some water.  Then you put a little bit of dish detergent on your finger - when you touch the water the pepper will flee to the edges of the plate.  It was pretty neat!

In today's playoff hockey game Olivia scored, her team won, and I won the 50/50 - the perfect hockey trifecta!  Here she is spending some of my winnings on a bottle of root beer.

Sophia and Olivia had a blast with their friends at the ScotiaBank Girls Hockey Fest today.  They got lunch, jerseys, toques, watched some higher level girls hockey, heard speeches by past Olympians, and took part in on and off ice training - all free!

Celebrating Nathan's birthday a week late.  Kids got him chocolate and I got him a white Mark Scheifele jersey (#55).
