My own small garden

A long time I had a dream about my own garden. This weekend my husband and I realized this idea in the reality. Although our balcony usually is windy because it has a front view to the ocean. We decided to decorate our balcony with flowers and make our small garden. We went to a garden market in Steveston. There is the small market but it has a big variety of flowers and plants. I spent about an hour there enjoyed the wonderful smell that flying around me. We were able to choose several beautiful flowers and plants for us. We were absolutely satisfied. After all we had an unforgettable lunch with fresh seafood at the restaurant on the sea side. The next our stop was at the Home Depot store where we bought all supples for landing such as flower pots, soil and etc. After that we came back home and started to create our small garden. I'm very appreciate to my husband for the help because he made the most of the landing work. Now it seems amazing! It's inspiring me to rise and care of our garden in the future. I'm sure, we will have a delightful time there. It's so romantic.

My son's birthday!!!!

Last Sunday we celebrated my son's birthday at the Stanley park. First of all we invited my son's friends with their parents. The day was expecting fantastic, warm and sunny. The place when we decided to celebrate was in the middle of Stanley park. This is meadow seemed like a green rug with bright sunshine in the blue sky and huge cedars around it. I love this meadow because it could to hide you from eyes anybody. We prepared a lot of entertainment  for everyone but especially for children. My husband and I bought many bubbles, sweat delicious and fruits. At the end of party Daniel blew out candles on his birthday cake and we all together sang song for him. Daniel was excited to get a lot of gifts and wishes. Every one of parents took a part to play with kids. There we spent almost all day, enjoy the weather and communicate to each other. Definitely, it was a delightful day when everybody had a fun. I believe that Daniel had a ball on this day.

Volunteering at the BMO Marathon

Yesterday, I had a great opportunity to attend at the BMO Marathon as a volunteer. It was Canada's largest marathon, with 18,000 runners. The weather was delightfully sunny and warm. The marathon should start at 8.30 but I met with our team captain Andrea and other volunteers at 7.30 a.m. at the our station. Our location was on the corner Blanka St. at 16th Ave. First of all, we got some instruction from our trainers about what we should do. After that we started to prepare water and power bars jell for runners. The trainer warned us about that we will be getting about 5 runners at the 1 sec when it started. We decided to share our work between each other. When it started we all of us were are ready. Some volunteers filled water to water cups, others gave it to runners, another offered  power bars to them. It seemed there exciting. At the same point, the runners got so much that they started bumping into each other because someone didn't stop when they picked up water. The cups with water fall down and the water splashed everywhere. It was hilarious. The runners were strong and didn’t give up. I think, we did a hard and wonderful job. It was really exciting. Definitely, I’ll  take a part of other events as a volunteer because it has given me a good experience and a lot of fun. Finally, we took some picture our team. One of them I share with you.

Pizza Day

Dear Mrs. Coleman,

We are writing this request regarding Pizza day's menu. We really need your help. We are very concerned about our children's health. Frankly, foods such as doughnuts and sugary drinks that you serve children to go with pizza can't be called healthy. We know, the children usually have a lot of fun at this event and they like food like that. However, all schools are talking about healthy eating and statistics confirm the problem of childhood obesity. Therefore, we shouldn't forget about their health as well. We think the school should be setting a better example to promote nutrition in our children's life. We would be grateful if you change the menu. It would be better to give children fruits and juice instead of sugary drinks.

We greatly appreciate your help.

Sincerely,

All parents
