Spent an enjoyable few days at our family cottage at Katepwa Lake. Here are some photos from the last few days… Paddle boat ride… Getting ready for Sasha’s first boat ride… Boat rides are relaxing Going fast = crazy hair! “I’m the king of the world!” Washing tub bath – a family tradition… Peaceful… Fishing […]
We were out of town this weekend for Shea’s parents’ 40th Wedding Anniversary so I didn’t get around to blogging as we were pretty busy the whole time. Instead of going back and post-posting (er, is that a word? Backdating posts to keep my “daily post” commitment going anyhow), I thought that, this time I’d […]
Yes parents, most concerns, competitive instincts and crying jags can be allayed if you too decide to practice “Calm the Fuck Down” parenting. 😉 Worried your friend’s child has mastered the alphabet quicker than your child? Calm the f*ck down. Scared you’re not imparting the wisdom your child will need to survive in school and beyond? Calm […]
Continuing my birthday week festivities, thought it might be nice to review my posts on July 18 since this blog started… 2012 – Average Canadian Male Life Expectancy = 78 (Happy 39th Birthday To Me!) 2011 – A Montage Video of Various “Paranoid Android” Covers on YouTube – obviously my birthday wasn’t front and centre that […]
Spent the weekend at Shea’s parents’ seasonal camp site at Nickle Lake. Had a bit of an adventure as there were tornado warnings on Saturday afternoon. (When Pace was a baby and we found ourselves in similar circumstances, we headed for town. I often joke about “Second Baby Syndrome” and Sasha suffered it here as […]
Recently rediscovered My Heritage’s “Look-A-Like” app where you can upload photos of different people and it will tell you who looks more like whom. (Usually you’d upload pictures of two parents and their child to see who the child resembles the most but we also experimented with comparing my aunt to my sister and I […]
Hard to believe that tomorrow is Pace’s kindergarten graduation. The past year has flown by in so many ways – when the year started, Pace was an only child; now he’s a big brother. When the year started, he was still working on learning his alphabet, now he’s regularly writing out complete sentences (phonetically – […]
…is to say nothing at all. Let me explain what I mean… For the past couple weeks, I’ve walked Pace to a park near our house every evening. One of his classmates lives across from the park and is usually there playing already and, depending on the night, they could be the only two kids […]
So after spending a few hours at the lake yesterday, my dad, Pace and I went back into town. Dad bought a few things he needed at the local co-op including some candy as a treat for Pace. As we drove away, the sun was shining. Someone had a fishing shack painted with The Punisher […]
Went out to Katepwa Lake to put the pier in with my dad, uncle and cousin today as well as do a few other chores to get the cottage ready for the season. I think the caption for the following photo is: “Working Hard or Hardly Working?” 😉 My cousin drew the short straw […]
