Miss Communication

I don't know where we went wrong. I told her to brush her teeth again and she asked G to pass this note along to me with a lip quivering breathless sob so that "I could understand".

Local watering hole

Just back from a glorious week long trip to Vancouver and in the middle of a nice heat wave, we decided to brave the peepee waters of Riley Park. The kids have eagerly joined in a pick-up water fight. L, making up her own team, has turned to shooting random passerbys in the bum, especially tormenting a cute girl in a green bikini.

mushroom rage

Eemo was busy preparing her dinner and was taken by surprise when L came down for a glass of water and saw her precious mushrooms chopped up on the counter.

L: HEYYY!!!!!!!!
Those are MY mushrooms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I picked them with MY hand!!!!!!!!
And I was going to eat it tomorrow morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHH!!! (tears of rage are spilling over at this point)

Eemo had to open the paper bag to show L there were plenty of mushrooms left for her to eat before she calmed down enough to go to bed.

Rude Awakenings

(taken from our old .mac site)


Sept 2008


It was summer 2006, dave and robyn ross were staying with us and michael was 2.5 years old. he toddles into our room in the morning with a full dirty diaper to find his parents still passed out in bed and yells: "Gerry! Wake uppeh! Changeh my diaper!" we all crack up but michael doesn't find this amusing. he's all worried how his poop is in contact with his little bum.


And just last week leah creeps into our bedroom to find gerry still passed out. she wants him to wake up and he just wants to cuddle. so she relents and snuggles up right into daddy's side and as soon as they get all comfy:


"i pooed, and peed, and pangood, and farted. change my diaper please"

"did you poo and pee and pangoo?"

"and farted!"

Almost 3 years old: michael's first job was at our store in high river. since M enjoys pushing the handicap button to open the door gerry got him to open the door to customers as they leave and say 'thank you, come again!'
