Snip Snip

I finally took Ian for his first haircut. Check him out! These pictures are from the last few weeks and they include a few before pics, his actual haircut, some after pics, and a few spares as well. My particular favorite is the pic of him as the Trailer Park Baby, no shirt, sweats, and one sock. We're classy here!

Shocking and appalling

I had to post script this but OH MY GOD the show I was watching just ended while i was sitting here and I saw the most appalling piece of crap ever put on tv. In the 15 seconds i watched the show I was horrified to see Carleton from Fresh Prince, Michael from Queer as Folk, and Cheech Marin (among others) sing out an uber-crappy cover of something in an American Idol style competition. Yes, it was Celebrity Duets, and yes, I want to stab my eyes and ears out with an ice pick. Oh. My. God.

Toddler-Iffic!

Some exciting events: Ian's first beater; Ian's first back pack, (with the cat next to it for size comparison) Trav's birthday, Ian the musician (check out his first music video, only on Iandotcom!) Some pics hijacked from Jenni's blog, Ian mad, Ian happy, and also, Ian just plain cute! I wish I could write more, but I work a lot. I think I am going to find another job so I have more time to spend here (and hopefully more money too)

Thanks Chrys!

Nobody deserves friends like mine. These pics (and all future pics) are brought to you courtesy of Chrystal! And as a thank you, I am now The Official Website of Advertising for the Grimshaw Source by Circuit City! Come on down for all your battery requiring gadget needs! They have batteries too! It all takes Batteries! (My friend has a lot of power)


I wanted to explain the pics. Most of the pics are from Ian when he woke up from his nap this afternoon. He got new shoes yesterday that flash and he was playing with them. I also took a pic of my dead flowers and added in a pic of my friend's kids she sent, they are super duper cute!


See yah later!

Yah I suck.

Yah, I know I am a terrible terrible blogger but I have many many excuses. The first is visitors. We have had a number of visitors already this summer. Trav's grandparents stayed for a bit, and then my sister came for almost 2 weeks (shout out to Jenni) And I have been working extra hours where I can to make up for it. Weekends are spent on housework and summery activities like swimming and beach-going. I have also had the drama of losing my purse and guess what was in my purse... my digital camera. Sucks to be me. Trav is pretty mad at me for that but I deserve it for losing my stuff. I have replaced my ID and bank stuff and luckily my birth certificates etc were all in the filing cabinet,but alas, no hope for a new camera. I still have the Kodak Advantix which is ok I guess, I can record the Important Moments In Our Lives, but no pics, sadly. Now you all know what to get me for Christmas I guess.
Ian is the biggest water freak in the world. Luckily a trip to Queensland beach taught him a little caution. Every time we take him to any beach he runs right for the water and gets mad when you take him out, but getting knocked down a few times by icy waves of salt water cured him of that! Now he waits for me to go in the water. We took him to the pool on Sunday instead of the beach, and he waited for me before going in! I was so glad, it was much easier. He goes in face first, he isn't scared at all. I am very proud of him.
Summer TV is going ok. Sheldon was booted from Canadian Idol before the top 10, sadly, but he's definitely the most famous person in our Graduating Class! I am now fully behind Rob James. You go buddy! Wait a minute, he just sang. Meh. You should see out by Lawrencetown/Chezzetcook area. Nothing but Vote Chad signs in everybody's yard. I hate that guy. He is so smarmy looking. In Big Brother news, I am so glad all my faves made it in. I want Janelle to win but I love Will for his pure entertainment value. That dude is in control. I also have a Secret Crush on James. Travis thinks he looks shifty but I think he's kinda cute. I hope Erica goes this week because I hate under the radar players.
The rolling stones are coming to Halifax and Travis really wants to go. I don't think we will be able to swing it, though. Oh well. Such is life.
In other Ian news, he sure is a little chatty pants. He says Ana (banana) and tsis (cheese, or shoes, depending on circumstances) eee (kitty) yah (yah) and buh buh (boohbah, oddly enough. it does not mean bottle or big bite. it means boohbah. one of my kid's first words is a TV show. Sigh.
Well I wish I had pics for you all but sadly, I have none. Until the next time (hopefully soon) see ya later, alligators!

Happy Trails (through the bathroom)

I saw an ant in the bathroom a few weeks ago. I said, EW and stomped it so it wouldn't bring its friends. Well, I think they found out and are getting their revenge! I have a trail of ants in the bathroom/laundry room and no clue or idea how they are getting in. I put down ant poison and am keeping the door closed to keep Ian and the cat out but since I put the stuff there now I have even more ants! I guess it must take some time for the ants to take the poison to their nest or whatever but in the meantime I hate going in there. And I have to have a shower later! Ew! Here are some pics:
