Chip of the Old Bastard
That Daniel kid impressed us at the weekend, while also being a snarky little bleeder.
We were at the park and he was being stroppy and not listening. Then he tried to jump off something and manages to smack himself.
Being the understanding and patient parent that I am I said 'That was a stupid thing to do wasn't it?' I followed this up by almost falling over a mushroom thing, but obviously in a classy way.
With impeccable timing Grumpy Dan said 'That was a stupid thing to do as well'. I managed to keep my angry face but Jacqui was almost crying.
Next day I told my friend Mary Ann, she laughed, Jacqui told her family, they laughed. It has been decreed that this was funny.
Touché Dan, touché.

Spoggle Update
Things are mostly going well here. I'm back to a weight loss plan. Dan is doing well now. And Jacqui is doing three lots of work.
January was crappy for colds and stuff, and the unseasonably warm weather has caused epidemic level allergies and coughs. But! Things are improving.
We have hit upon a formula to help Dan enjoy his skating, he doesn't like the lack of control so we're making things easier. Also Jacqui and I have both started to learn to skate.
Jacqui has exercise every Thursday at work, and then she's doing trampoline aerobics on Monday nights.
I'm making sure that I hit my 10k steps per day target and I'm getting to the gym three times a week.
And finally here are some pictures of the boy freshly crafted over breakfast this morning :)

First Gym Session of the Year and it felt fine !
Good work KJ suggesting the gym tonight and then bringing the whole clan :)
First time ever that I came out feeling energized and not whimpering.
If anyone else is interested
, personally I'm aiming to be there Wednesday and Friday 6:30pm and most Sundays around 9:30.

CN Christmas Train Pt 2
And here are the rest of the pics. Dan really enjoyed himself and while all the little ones were getting tired on the way back, he even survived a brush with santa. Only taken 5 years for the fear to go away :)
Being a conductor isn't sll it's cracked up to be.
Fear of the bearded man conquered.
The engine in all its glory. Complete with comedy nose....
Me and Dan napping apparently.
CN Christmas train Part 1
Mew friends of ours and Daniel invited us to join them for the CN Christmas train for the first time this year and we had a great afternoon. We turned up and had a hot chocolate then found our seats on the train. We rumbled out around 4:30 and our journey took us from Edmonton up to St. Albert and back again.
Dan with the most excited person there :)
Purdy sunset.
Dan with his amazingly photogenic friend William.
Bubbly and scary gumdrop the elf.
Dan got hold of the conductor's utility vest and he was a very happy boy.

And up go the decorations.
Well it's almost December and we have a child so decorations have spontaneously appeared in and outside our house. I did the heavy lifting and now Jacqui and Dan are sticking the pretty bits on as appropriate.
Dan's Birthday 2015, belated post due to aliens
Dan's birthday was a simple thing at our house this year, he had a few friends and all the children got dressed up. Then they got too hot and lost the costumes. Our friends lent us a bouncy castle which we dumped in the basement and Jacqui organised some cookie decorating.
Dan had a great time and he got some excellent gifts from his friends.
Ian, Norah and Brendan play castles in the play room.
Dan and Rhys play dinosaurs.
William and Noah are discovered under the table football.
The social set socialise.
Preschool pileup.
Richard gets his fingers bruised.
And we're done, sugar rush has dissipated, friends have left, just enough energy to watch tv.
Thanks everyone.

Birthday Stroll for Jacqueline.
It was a bit cold but we stopped halfway at the Enjoy Centre for cake which helped enormously.
There were hundreds of geese flying round and landing on Big Lake right next to us, which was pretty cool.
Dan handled it pretty well given that he is jet lagged and therefore it was like a long walk at 10 pm for him
Successful Morning
Jacqui and I have started negotiations regarding whose responsibility it is. I asked her if she wanted to fix it up and arrange things, she countered with 'I'm not good at finicky things'. I have unilaterally declared it to be something 'fun' for her and Dan to do.
I shall be employed to glue things, screw things and do things as required.

The Night Before the Triumphant Return
I have to say I missed him and his mum. But she didn't write me a letter so I missed him more.
Fun in the Leaves

Obligatory Hallowe'en Pictures
Well the costume Dan was given two years ago now fits, yay hoarding! And I spent two hours carving pumpkins which were appreciated by several male visitors, which was nice.

Life is hard at 5
Just look at his smug, happy little face. Makes me jealous, sick and angry all at the same time. When did I lose that? Well the answer to that is about 30 years ago....... Luckily I got some of it back 5 years ago when Dan joined us on this spinning lump of rock.
Biased? Yes, definitely. But he is objectively perfect, assuming I ignore his defects. He makes my life so much netter and I would not give him up for the world. (Given a large enough percentage of the world I may negotiate.)
The other, less important, children in this picture are Brendan and Chloe :)

SOCCERBALLPLAYER in Glorious Technicolor
What starts today??
SOCCERBALL!
Yes I am trying to alienate both my English and Canadian friends all at once.
Today Dan starts his first indoor football season and he's a bit nervous. Luckily he has friends on his team, that should make up for his parents shouting abuse from the stands.
And apparently ripping your shirt off and challenging other parents/coaches/referees/children to a bare knuckle fight, is frowned upon in this so-called civilized country.
Hopefully at least one us enjoys it :)
