Today there was an auction in Chilliwack with all manner of things for sale. Televisions, broken televisions, appliances, hard wood flooring, toys, tools, baby gear, pillows...you name it, they had it. Andrew decided to check out the previewing last night and was interested enough to head over there first thing this morning.

Here's a shot of the auction hall. They had two auctioneers calling simultaneously. We stopped by to deliver Andrew a cup of coffee around lunch time and one auctioneer was just atop a ladder. He'd move from one lot to the next and call each item...it was quite fun. I hadn't been to an auction since my dad used to take me to the farm auctions when I was very small.

Meanwhile this afternoon, the snow started falling.

Davey was very excited!
So around 3 pm, when it was obvious that Andrew was having too much fun to come home ;) we ventured out into the snow.


You know, we still don't seem to get as much snow as mum does further west. really did think that the eastern end of the valley would get loads more snow. I'm bitterly disappointed.

This is about all we've gotten so far. Though the north side of town does get more. Especially on the two hills on that side.

So, dad came home with his treasures. The best one (in the kids' view) was this wonderful kitchen. Brand new ad already assembled. An instant hit!


Isn't the chefs' hat cute? She makes a sweet baker.



Andrew also picked up a camcorder and a new computer for me!! YAY! Andrew has been getting very excited about doing podcasts lately and finally has some of the tools to do so.

Elisabeth wouldn't share the kitchen earlier, so while she had her evening bath Davey snuck downstairs to play. He loved the kitchen too.
