Kiddos in a box

Happy new year

Pretend food is like science, right

Enjoying the mini faux kitchen at the Ontario Science Centre

Post Holiday Reading

Thanks to everyone who made this year such a great holiday for the kiddos. Now, we build blanket forts and read

What are we eating?

Doyle immortal!

THANKS STEFF for my awesome Doyle portrait!  I love it!

Santa Crasher

So I went down to the mall to have my picture taken with the kiddos, and this guy in a red suit just wouldn't get off the bench. Rude much?

Bathing beauty

Midday scrubdown!

Beep beep!

New Tent!

Our trusty three-man did the kiddo continental trip fine, but future camping trips we hope to have two adults sleeping in our cushy huge Zeta 4.  Tents are just awesome, aren't they?

Thomson tent city

We are rich in tents!

Beach Babes

Lake Ontario may not be the nicest beach we've seen the summer, but it sure is the closest. Afternoon beaching with the girls and Uncle D.

Cheering section

T looks great in royal blue. Too bad the Canucks can't score in white.

Nap

Not everyone wants to look at pansies.

Three Twin Nuckleheads

The secret was the ones.

Pack it Up, Pack it In

Let me begin- by saying the car is over half packed!  One more sleep!

More from the edge

Cliffhanger

Preparing for the big Kiddo Continental, it became clear we needed a picnic table solution for Miz T.  The classic table hanger has now been incorporated in our feeding rituals.  It does look a little weird but it is remarkably stable

Pebbles into the puddle

Miz V wants to skype everyone at home so she can tell them about camping.  So far so good...

Peas rule

Isn't the wall beautiful Mama?

Sigh.

Support the Arts!

By wearing a tutu while you set up your crayolas.  Tra la La!

Big brains

So the kidlet now wears a size children's meidum  in sunhats.  She a veritable zombie feast on legs!

Techno babe

Here is Miz T working M's new ipad. It will be harder to convince this one that the store ran out of batteries.

Birthday Bash

Quick look at the fantastic weather we have for the birthday party.  Dang did we ever luck out!

Dinner delight

This is just a quick shot expressing Miz T's general pleasure at the mixed veggies dinner she's currently enjoying. Good times...

Escape from Planet Bath

Observe the bebe in mid speed scoot, making a last a nd desperate sprint to freedom as the warm water slowly fills the porcelain tub and seals her fate to be free of dust and debris

Birthday self portrait

Happy birthday to meeeeeeeeee... we're having dinner en famille at Happy Sushi on the Danforth and it's a lovely little party

Testing new Tech

My shiny new Android phone has a blogger app, so naturally I figured I better give it a try. So let's see if this land properly

The long climb

Miz V is enjoying the arrival of park season. Fortunately parks can be found everywhere - even at the yacht club.

Get Up and Go

And so it begins.

Driving Daddy To Work

cinema verity.

V the documentarian

Always looking for ways to distract, especially from driving, Miz V took my tough camera and worked on a photoi essay entitled: Drivinf Daddy to Work.  After a morning in post-production, expect to world-premiere it here later today.  Art is fun.

Could spring be far behind?

We made our first venture out to the park this morning, and it was actally a worthwhile venture. 10 above was a big part of that. But attitude helped too, Miz V agreed to play nicely and Miz T agreed the stroller was a fine place to stay.  Let's us all cross fingers for similar positive approaches make the park less of a hellscape this summer.

Wheeee!

I am trying to get this blog moving again, and so am experimenting with new ways to upload. This is a test -of your ability to withstand extreme cuteness.
