We plan on snowboarding in <span>Kamloops<\/span> on Monday and Tuesday next week while <span>PJ<\/span> is off. Christmas day Peter and I will awake for a predawn hike before we unwrap gifts and then do a family skate on the pond off Clifton Rd. Having the three gals home is busier than I anticipated. We are go-go-go and I have yet to work on my painting. Oh, to have more hours in a day. It is difficult for me to fit anything else in except University, working-out and looking after my family. Must meditate on this time crunch problem. I do want to have time to paint! Evening work isn&#8217;t an option because we get up at 5:30 each morning to work out.<\/p>\n<div>Anyway, games night tonight by the fire. Tabs wants Monopoly. She&#8217;s lucky her Granddad loves that game.
