All snug in their bed


I'm pretty sure these two have nothing to worry about, Santa surely will make a stop by the farm for them.

That Guy!

I was going to write something completely different here.  And I wasn't going to write anything tonight.  But today was a momentous occasion.  We have a graduated level of rewards for going to the potty, the highest level had been a Kinder Surprise.  Seemed like a good level, both chocolate and a silly little toy or game in a very large package.  Surely enough to get a little boy excited about making his next big step into adulthood. We failed in a couple of ways, though.  When Christine took the boys out east, she left the Kinder Surprises here.  So I brought some.  And we forgot them at Dad's place when we left. sigh So back at her family's place I took James out for us to pick a reward together.  We picked "That Guy" from Bulk Barn.  That guy being a plastic M&M candy dispenser (maybe? container for sure) with an M&M dressed up for Halloween in a wizard's cap and robe and carrying a propeller ... because ... wizards. I...

Phrasing

It's been a while. It's been eventful since we got back from vacation, Daniel has been basically wiped out every night now that he's started at the extended day program at what will soon be his school.  Next week is going to be even harder on the little guy with actual school (well, Junior Kindergarten) starting up. But this is another in the  "James says the most hilarious stuff" category. I was golfing today (it was insanely cold for it being the end of August, by the way, I don't think it go above 20 all day) and didn't get home until just before 9pm.  I went upstairs and saw James was still awake, so I went in to see him.  This is what followed. James:  Dad?  Let me tell you about my day.  Me:  Okay, bud, tell me about your day.  James:  Well first it was excellent, then it was passable, then it was good, then it was great. At this point I'm already starting to laugh (I'm sure he gets "passable" from playing Cut the R...

Planes!

Being on vacation for August followed by one week home and a week of work travel (with the requisite fire-drill in the middle of it) kept me away from here longer than I intended.  So I've got a few stories I want to get down before I forget about them.  In fact, I know I've already forgotten one of the things I planned to write about.  Hope it comes back. So the big one was while we were on vacation.  I think it was the Wednesday before we hit the road for home.  It was kind of cool and threatening rain, though I don't think it ever did, and I'd been waiting for a day like that to justify spending the afternoon indoors.  Why?  Because this was the first day James and I were going to a movie together. He's seen plenty of movies already, usually on the portable DVD player or the computer or in the home theatre, but he's not been able to sit through a whole movie.  He's just too busy.  Christine told me, though, that she'd noticed him be...
