Awards, enjoyable hosting & pushing cars
This week was a lot better than last week although the temperature has not changed. I was specialising the first half of the week and was hosting with my good friend Lindsay the second half. It is so good to host a group of kids with someone else especially when you get on with them so well. The kids were great craic, loved everything and loved Lindsay and I which is always a bonus. I have not a group that has been so obsessed with my accent. They only wanted me to explain activates if Lindsay did it they would wait until she had finished and then asked me to do it again and took every opportunity to copy my accent. Having a good host group really helps your attitude to things and your enthusiasm, bad groups just suck the life out of you.
Other news that my mum reading this will drop off her seat at... Recently due to the boys cabin being disgustingly dirty. Our bosses have started to do cabin checks every Thursday night with competition as the driving force behind it. Last week was boys vs the girls [the girls clearly won] This week it was the cleanest room. I received 1st prize!! I won because my room was tidiest but also because it had the most character with my pictures, verses, cards etc so I won a Muskoka Woods t-shirt. Then as voted by my fello workers I won the ESBMLM award [Everyone should be more like me] This will be the second time with my name on the trophy. Heading down to T dot [Toronto] this weekend for some craic with Tom to visit some friends. Going to try and find the Ireland- England match somewhere get some friendly rivalry going [Tom is English].
Here's to finally getting our staff coats, Tom and I pushing Candice's car into Walmart with one glove each, Lindsay and I hiding a broken roller skate and 2 dirty socks in Toms backpack and him carrying it about for 3 days!, "I'll do it for a dollar", thinking that one of the kids had seriously injured themselves on the tubing hill, "Yeah tobogganing accidents are on the top 10 death list!" to good chat times out to dinner with Lindsay, Yetunde and Kandice, once again knocking down a giant icicle from outside my window with the end of a vacuum cleaner! [Picture is of it reforming after 3 days. The one I knocked down was an other foot and a lot thicker] and to winning the biggest game of Empire to date.

Hey Rach, great to read your updates. Glad you are still loving my beautiful homeland. I have to say I am still jealous of your wintery pictures. We have only had snow twice here this winter and it has been about 10 degrees the rest of the time. I might as well be in Ireland! Oh well what can you do?
You`r right Rachel I`m just picking myself off the floor!! Blue moon to -night, it`s a first if you won a prize for a tidy room!!! But if you can do it once you can do it again..... at home! Mum
