-Went apple picking with Jordin, Jul and Clover. The kids got to spend some time with some horses who were in the field across from the apple orchard.




-Stopped for lunch at a little cafe in Bath on the way home, and then at the playground across the street. Watched some Canada geese in the park (it was right on the shore of Lake Ontario).
-Picked up a few groceries. Stopped in the store to chat with an old friend we ran into. Got to meet her new baby.
-Swimming lessons. I was again amazed at Astrid's growing confidence in the water. Muirgen was a little more comfortable than last week. Astrid made friends with a girl her age in the change room. She is very disapointed that there are no girls in her class aside from Muirgen.
-We talked about why the water gets deeper when the girls get into the bath tub.
-Astrid looked at the copy of the Canadian Food Guide which I got from my midwife. We talked a bit about it and what it means. Compared how our diets stack up against it.
-Astrid and I had a conversation about the devil. We were singing 'This Little Light of Mine' and included the verse "Don't let satan blow it out..." She asked me how satan blows out our lights. Does he actually come along and blow out any candles we happen to have lit? She also wondered where satan is. Is he in a different town than we are?
-Songs and rhymes at bedtime.
