I got a new phone!
You-tube, porn and HD vid.
Who needs an iPhone?
Taking phone pictures.
Learning how to text.
Welcome to 2006.
(not that I want porn, but I sure as heck don’t want Steve Jobs telling me what I can and can’t have.)

We’re taking a screen-free ten days with our children starting tomorrow. See you in ten days!
Quick! Go here!
You don’t have long, and I need to give it to somebody!
I just finished telling the Big Guy that there was a problem with my blog…it’s been reverting to a white screen because I waited too long to do my WordPress upgrade (again) and since I didn’t have any time to fix it I was just going to delete it. Since I have pretty much no commenters left since returning to work full time (unless I run a contest – then the emails fly in) it seems a waste to pay for my domain & hosting fees if nobody’s reading it. I sure wasn’t about to put any amount of time into it.
Came here to delete it and it’s back just fine.
Fate?
Primo is about to embark on his first trip to the USA. He’s been asking to go for a couple of years and we’re finally making good on the promise that yes, we’d take him one day. I think he’s planning to bring a flashcard with the letter Z on it just so he can ask people to say “zee.”
FYI, it’s “zed.”
Alice Cooper is kind of a dirt bag, but I’m thrilled that school really is out for summer!
We thoroughly enjoyed our family Canada Day festivities yesterday, and are now off to playdate two of three today.
Happy summer!
What Makes a Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle’s flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,
He called it … Dad

Rotsa ruck!
Our fucking basement is flooded.
Gah.
Gone for three days now.
Just finished downloading Lost.
Will we learn something?
No spoilers allowed!
At least for the next two hours.
It’s fine-ly over! 
I am at home sick.
It will hit the high twenties.
Sick on the back deck?
Avec mon bébés!
Me and my brother with our Mommy
Our kids with their two awesome Grandmas
We had a lovely Mother’s Day. The kids made me cute gifts – a tissue paper corsage from Primo and a flower in which the centre is her photo from Bella. This morning we met my mom, mother-in-law & her husband, brother & niece about half an hour out of town for brunch, came home for a quick rest and took a family nature hike in the coulees. After bathing the kids, making lunches & preparing the smoothie for tomorrow, we ate some cold takeout and are watching survivor from last week. I’m exhausted, but happy.
Happy Mother’s Day to everyone who’s a mother in any way to anyone!
So, Primo’s at a Montessori school now right?
Friday, I showed up to pick him up at about 12:30 and he was in the kitchen crying on a chair while the other kids were playing games in the gym. Why? Because he was punching kids and wouldn’t stop or listen to his teachers. GAH! He blamed it on everyone under the sun until the guilt finally set in and he was sad that he had “been a bully.”
He didn’t actually hurt anyone – it’s more of a superhero arm extension with a fist – but still.
He has hit someone every day since then.
Help!
