It's in the genes.

In case there was any question of lineage - the boy proves that he too can fall asleep at any time in any position.

If you look carefully, you'll see he's looking for bonus points by lying on top of sharp plastic objects - mostly his sister's dolls.

Bears the mark.

Everything was going fine ...

Another nice fall morning, so we took to the outdoors. The girl, dressed up as her favourite TV character - The Purple Princess. (Perhaps, Leanne's favourite - hard to keep them straight.)

A rousing game of ...

Any backyard quality time, typically includes the fairly advanced and complex game of - running around in circles. Today's variation took place around our paving stone patio.

But then ...

Then the tryptophan kicked in ...

Took it like a trooper, including the rather largish gauze pad. But it allowed her to make use of the large red band-aids. Yeah!

I hope this doesn't spike web-traffic to the point where I'm disallowed the use of these fine services. Still, I think it's worth risking to introduce (what I think) will be the latest notion soon to be ripped off in countless knock-off variations. Here we go ...

Plant? or Weed?

Last minute decision to go camping ... on the second floor landing. The girl got this for her birthday and she's sleeping in it tonight. Wonder how long this will last?

.... the next day we wake up to this!

A few cm's of snow. It took me 25 min's instead of 20 to get into work. Enough to seriously threat any chances for a round of golf on Friday. And to give us locals a good chuckle w.r.t. the Torontonians we had in town for work.

Still a little snow beats the little Fed Ex Cessna that came down right by Confusion Corner this morning.

Caught on tape.

See this? Looks like the typical, poorly composed, wrongly exposed photo, right? Wrong! Well partially wrong.

The point of this picture is for you to see the type of beating my boy puts on me. That's me getting a face-soother rub under the boy's right hand.

He's actually not that rough - it's more the element suprise. You don't THINK he can move his melon fast enough to crack you on temple; He APPEARS to be pointing at something behind you, before he firmly lodges his index finger in your nostril up to the 2nd nuckle. He's somehow figured out how to focus all 30lbs of his "chi" into his heel when he strolls by and digs into your foot.

Is it really still my birthday?

Yeah. It's Saturday and this is what we do on Saturdays.

The girl is having a little Sound of Music moment here.

For some reason, I ended up with way more shots of the girl, even though the boy was with us the whole time.

Heh

This is officially a thing with her now. Too bad we don't get very deep snow in our back yard for some reason, otherwise she might enjoy going off the top deck.

My boy is graceful.

You shoulda seen him go down the twisty slide on his belly.
