Imaginations of the child

Mason has such a great imagination. I love to sit back and watch him play. The other day we were playing outside and he was pretending that the bushes and trees were monsters. The monsters were sad because they lost their mittens (leaves were mittens) Mason gathered some leaves up and put them on branches and they were happy again.
And Grant got him going on magic beans. Mason was picking up little pieces of the carpet on the stairs and Grant asked what he had. Mason hesitated before answering so Grant offered "magic beans" and Mason thought that was a good name so he used it. Now every piece of fluff is magic beans. He'll bring some down in the morning that he picks off his blanket and he'll hold them or put them someplace safe. If he can't find them or if he dops them..he says "MA BEANS" It's hilarious. I went to try to find mighty beanz but couldn't find any so I bought a mini bowling set and gave him a pin. I thought maybe he would use that as a bean but he went back to the fuzz.

Kinda creepy

We had some chain-link fencing in our yard that we were going to put up but didnt get to it, and my neighbour had a deck she wanted to get rid of so I put them up for offer on freecycle. Well, I got inundated with requests for both items. I posted that they were taken and emailed every individual advising same. While I was out to the store, someone called and asked if it was still avail. Grant told me this when I got back. I got to thinking, hmm...where did they get my phone number. I didn't post it in the message. The person who called went to the trouble of looking at our email addy, than going to the phone book and finding it. I can't believe to what extreme this person went too. It is creepy and pathetic.

This is for Brock

Hey Brock, I read on your blog about Colbert mentioning Sarnia and watched the clip. Well...here's an even better one!!!

How far..

Would you travel to work? I am expecting at least an hour drive to work if I get the job with customs. This will be highway driving down the 416.

Finally some dates

I finally have a date for the interview with Customs : Dec 18th. Wow, that's a long way off. I was informed that interviews would be at the end of October and into early November. This puts a wrench into my plans. We are moving at the end of Jan to Ottawa, and my maternity runs out sometime in Feb. If I do well in the interview and get offered a position, well that could be well after my maternity runs out. And most likely it will because they won't be deciding after my date because Christmas holidays will be running.
I have to call my manager from when I worked here and tell her the situation. I'll have to see if I can get a transfer to the Ottawa branch if I need it.
Plus I need to have the complete addresses for all of the places I've lived for the past five years. I've moved around SOOOOOOOOO much. AHHH. So if anyone has the phone number of our old house in St. Thomas, please let me know.

Mason's back

The crayon fell outta Mason's nose while waiting to see the Dr. He came home with 4 stickers. Mason told me he put a white crayon in his nose :)
So yup, he's ok.

Off to the emerg...

I was just about to drive my mom to the hospital to visit with my uncle when Grant asked Mason if he needed to blow his nose. Mason kept on grabbing at it. We thought he had a booger LOL but it was more than that. It's a crayon.!!!!!! I think I even saw him in the process of doing it. So, Grant and my mom are driving to the hospital now.

Did he watch 'Castaway'?

Mason found a golf ball in the field behind our house and he just loves that thing. Whenever he's outside he carries it around.
Yesterday, he dropped the ball and he said "oh golf ball, golf ball..a.re you ok???"
It's a start to a beautiful imaginary friendship.

Might be heading out tonight

To go see the Trailer Park Boys movie. I'm excited! I read an article in Mcleans about the movie. The producers didn't wan't nudity in it, they have shied away from that in the tv shows. The warning that comes up before the show states nudity but it is referring to Randy's bare belly.
Anyways, the director of the movie who is an expatriate Canadian and now a big Hollywood director said they needed to "hollywoodize" the movie so there is going to be some nudity in it. I think it may be in the form of Lucy showing her chest off. This is too bad.
The movie isn't going to link at all with the series.
Hopefully the Trailer Park Boys will catch on down in the States. They do have a lot of Trailer Parks :)
I wonder if there will be a line up for the opening of the movie...hhmmmmmmmmmmm?

The Kidz and I :)

6 month stats

We took Eve to get her shots yesterday. She is 15lbs and 27 1/4 inches long.
I've been getting annoyed at ppl telling me how tiny and small she is. I just feel that it reflect bad upon me ; that I must not be feeding her well enough or something. She is in the 25% for weight but my dr. told me not to worry because she is doing great. She is very proportionate with her length and that most likely Eve will be a petite girl. So I must remember that when ppl say how tiny she is.
