So now the snow pants have been recognised as the greatest invention ever - it's like sledging without the need for a sledge

The snow shoveling though, man, the neighbours must have enjoyed watching me do that. Our drive has big ridges in it and I would get on a roll moving the snow and then I would smash into one, I am hoping I get better at it

This is the the house we are renting, our street and the back yard before the kids got on the slides!
same here!!! the snow pants at school thing happened here aswell!!!..LOL..now that is funny!!!

what isn't funny is a girl broke her leg..and a boy broke his collarbone..so now the school is thinking of changing to a sledding FREE zone!

we had that at our place....now it is all gone..rain and higher temps...melted it!..much to the kids dismay.

we went to nanaimo on saturday...were a few flurries..came out of the mall about an hr later..and it was full on snow...car was covered...had to buy a car scraper..as we left ours at home!

Maple Leaf, wow, my boys are 11 and 9 and my goodness I can understand what you are going through.

My 11 year old is very focused on how he is looking to the ladies right now In fact we went in to meet with his teacher a few weeks back to check on his progress, because they did Spanish in Texas and he's not done French, and we were concerned about him catching up etc.

However, the teacher was keen to tell us the effect his presence was having on the girls in the class. Apparently there has been a playground scuffle as the girls have been tripping the boys when playing football, in some kind of effort to get his attention.

She said he was easy on the eye, but that she got the impression that he was beginning to realise that - God help me
