Fun day with the boys

Have you ever experienced one of those days where you just take everything else that’s busy in your life and set it aside so that you can play with your kids? 

Today was one of those days. I love those!

I know I’m not the only parent out there who has a long list of things [...]

Soccer season is over and shirtless fun times!

Soccer season came to an end with Colin’s team playing two games. Each game consisted of two twenty minute periods (can I call it that?).

I was a tad worried because our team has not been very good and imagined an onslaught of goals and some very upset boys. But despite my concerns, Colin [...]

Angie and the nintendo dsi

I think Angie is addicted to Colin’s Nintendo DSi. Specifically, Toy Story 3. It seems as though any spare moment she has, she’s playing that game!

Take for instance Friday evening. Colin was playing soccer at 6:30 and we were getting things ready (we usually leave by 6:15). We had him dressed and the [...]

How to get through 2 birthdays in less than 10 days

I can’t eat anymore cake and the contemplation of eating one more piece makes me want to hurl (see Monty Python and the Meaning of Life for an example).

After 4 birthday celebrations, 3 cakes, cupcakes, ice cream and chocolate cookies, our sons’ birthdays are officially over. Yes, these are the joys of having two [...]

Adrian to bed hasn’t been so successful after-all

So, I triumphantly proclaimed my awesomeness at putting my son Adrian to bed the other night without incident. That’s right! I put him in bed, said good night and left the room. Sure he cried for a few minutes, but 15 minutes later he was sound asleep. Yes, I thought I was some sort [...]

Preparing a toddler for his new bed

Angie and I bought Adrian his first bed and with that it was time for me to disassemble his crib.

But before I got into the task at hand, Angie took the boys out so that I could do this without them knowing. Angie and I have learned (with Colin and his cousins) that [...]

Birthday ideas for a 6 year old

We celebrated Colin’s 6th birthday on Sunday!

Our day began with Adrian waking up at 6am. I didn’t want Adrian to wake up Colin so I went in and brought him into the playroom. 2 minutes later Colin joined us and had the biggest grin on his face.

Colin: It’s my birthday, Daddy!

I wished [...]

Two day trip with the kids

It’s hard as a parent when you go on vacation with kids because it requires exceptional planning and organizing, even if it’s just two days. This is especially true when one of your kids is a toddler.

And what you’re really trying to do when you leave your home is minimize the disruption to your [...]

Great times in Montreal!

I’m off to Montreal for some drinking, all-night partying, Club Super-Sex and climbing three storey balconies!

No wait. That was 22 years ago.

I’m off to Montreal with my family to visit the Granby Zoo and check out a water-park.

Adrian flopped out on the air mattress in the [...]

It’s hard to discipline your child, but it must be done!

Today was the first time that I had to discipline Adrian. He’d been unwilling to share (not that he grasps the concept anyway) and hit Colin over the head with a remote. And on top of that, when he didn’t get his way, he began to scream. Toddlers can scream very loud and that’s [...]
