The stuff Calder says . . .

After Hugh gave Calder a stern talking to after a timeout, Calder quips, 

"Something smells."

It was Hugh's garlic breath.

Conversation at JR's Ice Cream:

C: Is there rainbow?
J: I don't think so, bud. . . . Oh wait, there it is.
C: Told ja.

When we were driving home from the Meewasin Valley Authority after making our mask on Wednesday Calder says to me, "We need a baby." My mind was racing. Seriously - does this kid need a sibling or what? He is obsessed! 

I asked him why he wanted a baby and he told me, "We need a baby and a stroller. . . because then we woulda got to use the elevator."

As we were leaving the Meewasin Valley Authority the moms with strollers headed up the elevator. Calder wanted to go, but I told him only moms with strollers got to take it. 

Apparently Calder isn't obsessed with getting a baby - he just has excellent reasoning (and what math teacher wouldn't like that!).

On our Monster and Gargoyle tour, we saw a man with long dark hair running on the trail down by the river. He was not wearing a shirt and his skin looked like leather. I am not exaggerating one bit. Ask ANY of the other moms. I wanted to run a bit to catch up to him so I could "accidentally" brush my hand on his back to see if it was actually leather. Crazy!

As we drove home I asked Calder if he had fun at on our outing. He responded, "yes." Wanting a bit more feedback I asked him what he liked. He said, "Everything . . . but not that lady without any shirt."

Bahahahahaha! I guess Calder was so traumatized by the leather skin, that he failed to realize that the long hair was on a man! I sniffled my laughs and Calder and I had a quick chat about the importance of wearing sunscreen.

Another embarassing one

On Tuesday, I had this brilliant post formulated in my head. Then just before supper the power went out. Although the internet went down with the power, I still could have just written it on the computer to publish in the morning. Instead, I took full advantage of a sick child (who slept on the couch most of the evening) and a husband who was in the city (at his Grade 8's Farewell). I read. And also did some texting. But mostly I read (There was a moment that I thought I should conserve the power on my cell phone in case it the power took its sweet time coming on, but it was short lived. I figured that I could always go charge it in the van. Hugh was glad that it didn't get to that. He pictured me not getting the garage door open (I would have had to have manually open since there wasn't any power). Then he pictured me sitting in the van dying of carbon monoxide poisoning. I wish he would have given me a little more credit when this elaborate daydream was running t

Guest Post Luke: Men at Ikea

     I've recently been blessed with 2 trips to Ikea in the last 3 months, and with a lot of time on my hands while in Ikea I came to notice a few similarities in all the men walking around there.   As I was taking notes on every man I saw, and mostly myself , I came up with different types of guys and what their role was with their significant other.          The first guy, who I believe to be the most common, is "The Turn Back Man".  This man believes that, just like in racing, if he stays in front of his significant other he can use drafting to increase her speed and keep her on track.  This never works and he subsequently becomes the "Turn Back Man".  He is constantly 4 steps ahead and turning back over and over when SHE sees something else they "might" need.  It is tough, because when entering Ikea men want to do as little walking as possible, but this has us taking even more steps. It is the slight chance that SHE stays in our slipstream an

Calder missed nailing our baby's arrival by 4 hours. Boone James Hamilton was born at 3:59 this morning. Boone is doing well. We got back some positive test results today and will hopefully get the remaining few tomorrow. He gets to spend the night with us and at this point that is all we can ask!
