Parenting

Ahh, it’s that time of year again. The kids are in school, in close contact with lots of other kids. That means that (in this case) Ryan brought home a cold, and it immediately jumped to Marnie and I. Oh joy. Okay, now I have…

Marnie and I went out last night. Two hours into the outing our babysitter calls us. Ryan had a chair fall on him, and he has a gash above his eye. It looked like it required 3-4 stitches. Two doors down from us lives a…

Another rushed weekend, and another busy week. Spent the weekend with the in-laws in Saskatchewan, which included a total of 18 hours of driving. I think we all had a good time. Jared starts school tomorrow, and we still need some indoor shoes for him.…

Here I go through all the effort of converting to WordPress, and then I never use it. Hmmm. I left home yesterday for a dentist appointment for Jared at 9:30 AM, and we never got home until about 7:30 PM. I’d call that a full…

Back from the weekend! It was an… interesting time. The boys and I had some good times, and some bad times. I think the good times far outweighed the bad, and fun was had by all. We arrived on Friday, and it looked like rain.

Well, looks like its been a few days since I did a blog entry. I’m not sure if I’m interesting enough to keep this up to an entry a day! The week so far has gone pretty good (it’s only Tuesday though). The boys are…

I never noticed, but I’ve now gone past the one month mark on this blog. True, a couple of weeks of that was while I was on holiday, but I’m still counting it. It hasn’t yet (and maybe it never will) become a habit. We’ll…

We had a fairly cloudy/cold day out here today, and I was not looking forward to having the kids in the house all the time again. So, I did what any sane parent would do: get out of the house. We spent about 2 1/2…

We are back from our holidays, and tomorrow we’ll be back into the regular grind. The camping trip was a smashing success, even though we got hit by a bit of rain. We ended up having an absolute blast with the swimming, hiking, and canoeing.
