what we did on daddy's day


Jack pet an owl:



then turned into one!

two things


1. Foreshadowing: from last night's Big Brother, Lisa standing in the kitchen furiously stabbing a potato with a fork.

2. You know you're Canadian when...while following a streetcleaner this morning, my first thought was "What the hell is a zamboni* doing out on the road?"

updates


PoxWatch: No signs of the chicken pox yet. Am starting to think that my son has superduper antibodies. He must get them from his father.

MediaWatch: I'm being interviewed tomorrow morning by a reporter from the Sunday Express (for the magazine). She wants to write an article about baby blogs, came across this site, and got in touch with me. We may be photographed again and maybe this time, we'll be able to smile. Will keep you posted.

FertilityWatch: Nine of my friends are pregnant right now (it was ten up until last Friday). My fertility powers are obviously still very potent, so feel free to place your hands upon this screen if you'd like to get pregnant. Of course, you need to have some interaction with a male member of the species as well for this to work effectively.

2. It's World Cup time!



3. It's beautiful and sunny outside, and we filled up the paddling pool so I can soak my feet for Jack to play in.



4. My dog does Elvis impressions.



5. We have tadpoles, tadpoles just starting to sprout little legs, and these tiny little frogs in our pond (using my thumbnail to give perspective):
