All ends happily ever after.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>A quaint day out with my girls. Attempted to take out books from the library down town, but alas, my daughters had late fines from 2001. My card? No good either&#8211;late fees from 2006. The library is backward! Punishing children for 8 year old late fees? Denying my family literacy for eight years because of late fees? And not to mention I payed them $60, a few years ago to replace two books Tabs had spilt chocolate milk on.\u00a0<span>AHHH<\/span>! And of course, the <span>dinosaur<\/span> of institutions, doesn&#8217;t accept credit cards or debit cards to pay off the fines. So what do we do? Let me see&#8230;hmm&#8230;little Pip has never had a card before, that&#8217;s it! And three cheers for us: we managed to escape with all eight of our books proudly borrowed on little Pip&#8217;s brand-spanking-new library card&#8211;much to the frowns of the library staff.<\/div>\n<div>And good news, The Bread Co. (Our favorite bakery\/coffee shop) has finally finished rebuilding after the fire that destroyed it last fall. We finally had tea there this afternoon.<\/div>\n<div>Trouble with Fernando. He bit Pip&#8217;s face yesterday. I am cracking down on him. Pip can no longer play with him unsupervised as he treats her like another dog.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Tomorrow a hair appointment for me. I had to cancel my teeth cleaning as I had double booked myself. What looks worse? I thought, My teeth or my hair? My hair won out. Tabs has piano in the late afternoon, will take the other girls out for our constitutional coffee while she plays.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>This weekend my final day for the class I am currently taking. Then we are off to visit my parents in\u00a0<span>Kamloops<\/span> for the night&#8211;we will return Sunday late afternoon.\u00a0<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mistaya, Tabitha and their friends write and perform a play based on &#8220;Hansel &#038; Gretel.&#8221;At unemployed-father&#8217;s request, Mother leads her hungry children into the forest, to abandon them.The children, hungry and cold, fall asleep on the forest floor.A nice witch &hellip; <a class=\"kt-excerpt-readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/hansel-gretel\/\" aria-label=\"Hansel &#038; Gretel\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"kt_blocks_editor_width":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[24,1],"tags":[1998],"class_list":["post-731","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-motherhood","category-uncategorized","tag-childrens-imaginations"],"aioseo_notices":[],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":24,"label":"Motherhood"},{"value":1,"label":"Uncategorized"}],"post_tag":[{"value":1998,"label":"children's imaginations"}]},"featured_image_src_large":false,"author_info":{"display_name":"mixhart","author_link":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/author\/mixhart\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":24,"name":"Motherhood","slug":"motherhood","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":24,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":734,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":24,"category_count":734,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Motherhood","category_nicename":"motherhood","category_parent":0},{"term_id":1,"name":"Uncategorized","slug":"uncategorized","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":576,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":1,"category_count":576,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Uncategorized","category_nicename":"uncategorized","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":[{"term_id":1998,"name":"children's imaginations","slug":"childrens-imaginations","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":2053,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":2,"filter":"raw"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=731"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/731\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.mixhart.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
