Welcome to the family “Blizzard”
We welcomed the newest member of the family on Thursday, our “Elf on the Shelf.” As you will see in the video, he was “delivered” in the mail from Santa to our house. The Elf on the Shelf watches the kids and reports back to Santa every night. However, while reporting on the kids, he does manage to get himself into some sticky situations. After … Continue reading Welcome to the family “Blizzard”
Halloween 2012
Before I tell you about Halloween day, let me tell you about the lead up to Halloween. So about 1 weeks before Halloween, Melissa got all the decorations up and read for Halloween. She hung a skeleton from the tree, made a wheelbarrow full of limbs, and put a life-size skeleton on one of the patio chairs beside the stoop at our front door. As … Continue reading Halloween 2012
Thanksgiving Weekend 2012
We had a great thanksgiving weekend in Peterborough this year. It started with Melissa meeting me at work with the kids so that I could leave from work and hopefully avoid traffic.

However, it did not survive the … Continue reading 4th Annual Christmas in August

She has been telling everyone who will listen for the last two weeks that the Easter … Continue reading Easter 2012
Trip to Peterborough over the March Break
On Saturday morning, I packed up the van and headed for Peterborough, but not before I emptied the kids rooms and put all their stuff in the Toy Room because while I was away, we had someone in to paint the kids rooms blue and pink. Also, while I was away the contractors finished our new deck in the backyard. On our way to Peterborough, … Continue reading Trip to Peterborough over the March Break
New Year’s Eve 2011
For New Years this year the kids and I went to our cousins, Stephen and Karen’s house in Toronto. This was the first party that I have been to in many years and it was quite an initiation into New Years parties. Throughout the night they were 50+ people there having a great time. And the weather was so nice that you could sit out … Continue reading New Year’s Eve 2011
