Our Sunday :)

Today is the Islamic New Year and so we did NOT have to go to school! YAHOO! Here's what we did instead:

* This morning I went to the mall with the Hussain's and Pat to do some Christmas shopping. I didn't have too much to purchase - only a secret santa gift and stocking stuffers for Phillip. We decided to introduce a "STOCKINGS ONLY" rule this Christmas and are going to open them up on December 16th - the day before our flight!

* During my shopping excursion, Phillip did his favourite thing ever (besides play sports) - LAUNDRY!

* In the afternoon, we headed to school (I know...the whole point was to NOT go to school today) for basketball practice and to do some work. Phil had a good turn out with his basketball team and I got a lot of work done in my classroom. It feels good to start the week ahead of the game :)

* The rest of the day was spent on the treadmill, baking (two banana loaves), making dinner and watching a movie (Master Harold and the Boys). Oh yes - Ian and Alex stopped over for a nice chat and we bugged Cathy and Shahid for an hour or so too :)

* And the most exciting part of the day........we spoke on the phone with rental owners in Toronto! We are looking at renting a studio in the beaches area of Toronto this summer! Tonight and tomorrow we will finalize our plans :)

Real school starts tomorrow. Good thing we LOVE our students!!! :)
