Random Thoughts

Parent Teacher Interviews are over. I actually told less parents about Tripp than I had planned. Turns out as soon as you say, "Medical Treatment" people don't want to impede on your privacy and will either make a consoling face while shaking there head or immediately flip the subject. LOL! No harm done. I was prepared to do it and I think that was just as important.

The evenings are getting darker which is causing me the blues, but I can't help but think that on the plus side it means that it's candle season! I only lit a candle during the spring and summer when I was really missing Tripp. Pumping the A/C and having a seance really seems counter productive! I love the warm glow of a candle (or 5) in the evening. Lucky for me, my sister-in-law, Abbey picked me up a whole bunch of tea lights from Ikea earlier this year!

Depending your perspective, you might find THIS appalling or humorous. I found it a bit of both. I just hope I don't see any of them at school on Oct. 31!

Calder's idea of a baby is any child who can't have a conversation with him. I am beginning to wonder if Calder thinks our baby is going to be able to crawl around and eat chewy chewies (fruit snacks) the moment they get home from the hospital. 

Calder: I'm going to make sure to close the suitcase so the baby doesn't get stuck (He is referring to   a video we have of him playing in a suitcase at 10 months). 

Me: You had fun playing it that suitcase! We could have lots of fun with the baby in a suitcase, but remember, when the baby comes home it is only going to eat and sleep . . . and cry.

Calder: And poop.

Me: Yes, and poop.

Calder: Wheels spinning. And pee.

Me: Yes, and pee.

Calder: Thinking really hard. And FART.

Me:  Alright, that's enough. Not sure if Calder could even make out what I was saying. I was laughing pretty hard.

    That is cute...and true:)

    I will have two babies I guess, because Jaxen is not REALLY capable of a conversation either. He talks but half the words don't make sense.lol. Calder is going to be a great helper when the new baby arrives!

    Calder still calls Pace a baby and he will be 2 in December! He is starting to really enjoy playing with Pace, but even that hasn't switched Pace's label from baby to boy! We are working on it! LOL

    Calder never really did talk "gibberish". . . . just said nothing and then progressed to the odd word! So cute, Jaxon!!!

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!

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 ...
