Calum welcomes 2008!

Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone

Merry Christmas!

An interesting start

So we've had an interesting start to the Christmas break. Calum got sick just after Don finished taking his couple of days off. He's never had the flu before so it was tough on him. It was a quick one though and in a couple of days he was better. It went through the daycare though so they closed it a day early. Then, as fortune would have it, I got it. Mine wasn't bad, it lasted less than a day and I feel better now. Don also had a touch. We are staying in for a day or so longer though. We don't want to spread it to our family and friends. I already did a thorough wipe down of the house but will have to do another just to be sure.

Not much new for us. Calum has taken to wrapping presents for himself, putting them under the tree, then unwrapping them when he can no longer resist the temptation. It's pretty cute but we already have bits of wrapping paper all over the house. Just wait till Santa comes.

Calum and I will be finishing his Christmas projects soon. He's making treats for the stockings this year and has been a busy boy planning it all out. We were hoping to make a trip to Merritt before Christmas but the roads are terrible this weekend and the girls are both working. We'll be up soon though, Nanny and Papa. Calum is already getting his sled ready.

Getting ready for Christmas

Santa's a good guy

Calum is already having fun and Christmas isn't here yet. He was very sad to see me wrapping presents and kept asking where his present was. I had to give him one of his stocking stuffers. We wrapped it together and he unwrapped it. We kept doing this till we ran out of his favorite wrapping paper. He left it wrapped and now proudly will show us all his present.

Today Don said Santa left Calum an early gift and had him choose a hand. In one hand was a diaper, in the other the new Simpson movie. Calum picked the diaper and was so happy that Santa brought him one. He proceed to pull down his pants to show me as soon as I got home from work.

When I asked if he liked Santa now he said "Santa's a good guy".

Funny boy.

It's Spiderman and Superman!

Calum had his Christmas party at the Old DC. They had face painting so this is how he looked when he greated us as we came home. Apparently he also has a lightsaber balloon too. Why not have the best of everything - Starwars, Superman, Spidey. What a funny boy.

Not much to report. We've just started to get ready for Christmas. We will be doing some shopping this weekend, putting up the tree and getting ready for the last week of work/school/daycare before Christmas.

Look for some more pictures in a couple of weeks.

Happy Birthday Rob

Happy Birthday Uncle Rob. Hope you have a good weekend.

We've got plans to go out and do a little shopping tomorrow. Calum is growing out of his size 2's (and even his 3's) so it's time to clear our his closet again. Yesh. He has requested a Luke shirt but I told him it will likely be a transformer shirt. Looks like we may have a fun day of negotiating with a 2 year old tomorrow.

We all still have a touch of a cold. Sniffles, coughs and looking like we just woke up. We are on our last box of kleenex so we move it from place to place. Guess we better pick up some more tomorrow too.

Not much new to report. Work's great, kids are doing fine (though driving us crazy), nothing exciting really. Calum has been getting little treats from Carole at work. I bring them home for him at night He now thinks he gets mail at our office and Don makes a big deal about how he wants him to get it sent to our house instead. He loves playing on my computer so don't be surprised to see a blog post from him. He'll figure it out soon. He's learned to page on my cell and I can't even do that.

Well he likely be up in about 4 hours so it's off to bed. Stay warm and have a germ-free weekend.
