Today we did something we’d been planning to check out since the beginning of March, we went on a sugarbush tour. I guess it’s a really common thing to do around here, at least for people with kids. There are probably half a dozen different places to go within two hours of our house. [...]

no wonder i’m so cranky
27Mar08Cutest words my son is saying right now…
“YaSS!” (yes)
“WahK!” (walk)
“NUK!” (egg, candy, an indeterminate word to describe random objects, displeasure and general annoyance)
****************************************
I just read this post over at Parent Dish about a study which concluded that parents argue with their toddlers an average of 20 times per hour. TWENTY. TIMES. PER. HOUR. The author [...]
must-see documentary
24Mar08I recently watched the documentary called For the Bible Tells Me So on the hearty recommendation of Becky at grrrl meets world. It’s a discussion of homosexuality and the way the issue has been treated by religious people. More specifically, it is about existing groups of religious people who believe that religious people need [...]
truth, lies and surgery
24Mar08Well today was surgery day! I almost can’t believe we made it this far. Partly because it was so easy and non-traumatic that it’s so very forgettable.
If I learned one thing today, it’s this: When given the opportunity to make a parent look foolish, offspring will ALWAYS rise to the occasion.
I swore Kieran would be [...]
The kids were both completely thrilled this morning to hunt for Easter treats. Avery is old enough to anticipate the sugar buzz excitement. Kieran just about wet himself with the thrill of finding candy JUST LAYING AROUND! He started shoveling chocolate easter eggs in his mouth before someone put an end to this dream [...]
funny quote of the day
23Mar08I’ve been watching old episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (yeah, I’m behind behind the times, but it’s kind of fun to laugh at the clothes that were cool in the late 90’s). Came across this gem of a quote the other day:
Cordellia: So, does looking at guns really make girls want to have sex? [...]
one more thing…
23Mar08One more thing I learned from our trip to the Ontario Science Center…
11. An almost 2 year old who goes an entire day without a nap will sleep 15 (!!!) hours the following night, wake up for 3 hours and then take a two hour nap and go to bed at his usual time! While [...]
1. It’s becoming increasingly obvious that I am a prairie girl as the mildly curvy highway we were driving on into Toronto gave me the first real bout of carsickness I’ve had in a long time. But seriously, it’s a little embarrassing that a little stretch of highway that looks like this could make [...]
the saga continues
19Mar08The latest in the Landlord Saga…
Phone message left by me on the landlord’s cell phone:
Me: Umm…Hi landlord. It’s me again!
Just wanted to let you know that water is leaking through the roof into my kid’s bedroom. It’s not like The Flood or anything. But definitely water. And definitely coming through the roof. I hope the [...]
book reviews
16Mar08Just wanted to share a couple of the books my kids are loving right now. I bought How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night? before I even had kids because I picked it up one day in a bookstore and couldn’t leave without it. The story is cute and I think the illustrations are just [...]
