February in Photos Day 7

It is very hard to capture the enthusiasm of a kid's birthday party in a still shot. Ethan went to his friend's 7th birthday party today. They started out bowling, then ate hot dogs, chips, and two kinds of cake... When it came time for presents I had to stand on a chair to snap a shot over the throng.

It was a rough day.

February in Photos Day 5

Jack is learning about space at preschool. His favourite planet is Uranus. Snigger, snigger. I am far too immature to handle THAT being his favourite planet. We have had conversations like this:
“Mummy, is Uranus big?”
“Mummy, is Uranus hot or cold?”
“Mummy, do any people live on Uranus?”
and my new personal favourite, just today: "Mummy, does Uranus have gas?" (I SWEAR this to be true)
I guess I shouldn’t really call them conversations because that would imply that there are two sides contributing to the dialogue. What really happens in response is me giggling out of control. And he is so serious; he gets so mad at me because I am incapable of answering his questions. Mike says, “What are you? Two?” Um, mentally, yes. ‘Fraid so.
Here is Jack and Uranus (WHEN will that stop being funny?)

Right now the boys are playing Wii. Lego Star Wars is the game of choice, and they are both pretty good at it. They would literally play for hours if I let them! Ethan is sporting a Valentine's hat he made himself in school. When was the last time you saw deelyboppers?
Can't write any more tonight as I have a carpal tunnel injury. Serves me right for trying to hand-dance along with Beyonce's "Single Ladies". Whoa oh oh, oh oh oh!

I'm just curious if any of you know how hard it is to take a picture of yourself running? Don't try this at home, kids. Unless of course you have a lot of patience and a lot of room on your camera's memory card. Anyway, Tuesdays are my running club, so here's me running.

I am working late tonight so I thought this photo was appropriate. You may want to laugh at my padded laptop tray, but let me challenge you this: try one first before you laugh. You will soon understand why this is one of my favourite new things. In fact, if I was Oprah, I would give these away to my audience on my "Favorite Things" show. Since I'm not, here's a tip: $29.99 London Drugs. You won't regret it.
P.S. It's water. I'm not drunk.

February in Photos Day 1

For the month of February, I will be posting a photo every day that sums up our day. Enjoy!
Today I bring you Superbowl. Each of us got to pick a snack at Costco. $150 dollars later, we had a cart full of meatballs, cheese, chips, gyoza, chicken strips, and I don't even know what else. Now it's only 4 o'clock and we are stuffed like pigs on unhealthy food. Thank God that our Green Earth Organics delivers tomorrow.
