YUCK!

Last weekend James and I were out running errands on Saturday morning since we're now between classes for him.  He was being particularly helpful and particularly adorable, so one time when we were getting back in the car and he had finished buckling himself in, I gave him a kiss on the tip of his nose.

James:  BOY KISS!  YUCK!

I blame Robert Munsch for this.

Also, this is a really short entry, but that's because it's almost impossible to type anything legibly with my current crop of assistants.

Daniel: There's Daddy!  There's Daddy!
I don't mind at all, though.  It's always good to have help.

Exceptionally adorable. Last summer we brought out the outfits again for the Ottawa Comic Con.  When I was wandering around just as Han Solo I had maybe a half-dozen peopl

Robocallers

We don't get a lot of robocalls anymore thanks to the fact that we're no longer on a POTS line anymore and the blocklist service included in our VoiP package.  One of the few that still show up are "The Duct Cleaning Service".  I assume that's their "doing business as" name since that's how they always identify themselves when they call (from a local number, I may add).  But we don't talk to them.  We don't interact at all except to note the number and ban it from all future incoming attempts. I mention this because I have no  idea how tonight's bit of foolishness came about. After we had finished reading bed-time stories James and Daniel both were horsing around in James' room.  We were letting them burn through their energy and weren't paying that much attention.  Around 8pm I wandered by the room only to see Daniel with James' foot pressed firmly against his ear.  This "foot phone" has been a thing for abou
