Been lazy with the postings. Here we are sitting at the table with the boys, camera and laptop all at once. Eric is hanging out this weekend rather then sitting on the sidelines watching Jakie play soccer.
Once the camera was out BigE wanted to have his picture taken. So lunch time shot number 2
The smile showed up about 3 seconds after the picture was taken. Oh well.

Chocolate Chip Cookies!
So after having a little summer time fun we realized what we'd like more. Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
Dada "Would you like to make some chocolate chip cookies?" [We don't bother with oatmeal because the subtly is lost]
BigE "Of course I would!"
Here's a little sample of why it's so much fun. Keep an eye on BigE's mouth. I'm not sure it doesn't stop chewing. Also that a cup in front of BigE is from the Big Apple in Colbourne, ON that was full of milk.
The first load of cookies is in the oven cooking. We're never really sure if the second batch will survive the 12-14 minutes of cooking time.
I have NO IDEA where he gets this from!

Summer Time Fun
It's 23'c outside. Not too hot, not too cold. I'm sitting here drinking a nice cold honey brown beer. BigE's sporting a milk. BigE and I are taking turns dipping crackers into the over sized peanut butter container.
Does it get any better?
Quick update. I've been informed that the crackers are squares. Which is apparently an important point to make. And that they are delicious!

Quote of the Day 19
Dada "Guess what? Tomorrow your staying home with Mama. Did you want to go to daycare instead?"
BigE "ummm ... I will stay home with Mama"
Dada "She'll be glad to hear that"

Jumping Jacks
Celebrating the return of the camera, BigE wanted to share with you his new found jumping jack skills. He flat out refused to have a simple picture taken. Instead we bring you:

Picture Pause
Update Tuesday: Computer reboot, pulled the batteries and memory card from the camera and things seem to be working.
============================================================
Just a word of warning. There may be a decided lack of photos and videos posted over the next few days.
When I went to download a picture of BigE taken today the computer saw the camera but for some reason was not able to transfer the pictures. Odd. The camera works fine. So until I can open a fresh can of patience tomorrow to see what is wrong, there will be a pause in pictures.
Now I was looking for an excuse to get a Nikon D40 (or D40X) or maybe a Canon SD1000 for portability. (Besides let's be honest, when I said 'or' I really meant 'and'.) But when it's not on my own terms it just doesn't feel the same.
Curious George
BigE has made a routine out of catching Lunar Jim in the mornings. (Look at that; CBC programming besides hockey being watched in our household!)
But what is really curious (ok no pun intended) is Curious George that comes on afterwards. BigE was given a reprieve from heading to daycare. He could snuggle Mama in the bed until the first commercial.
Sitting there I started thinking about the Man with the yellow hat. Check out this description from pbskids.org
He's Curious George's best friend and mentor, the reassuring parental presence who trusts George unconditionally, never expecting him to get into trouble. He's as well organized as one can be with a monkey in the house; well liked in the neighborhood; and a little goofy around the edges. In their spare moments, he and George can be found playing checkers or reading a book together.
Uhhh I feel soiled just copying that mountain of crap.
But on the drive in what struck me was that the Man in the Yellow Hat wears all Yellow. Except for his light brown boots. Then it dawned on me.
BigE will grow up to be the Man in the Yellow hat. Think about who loves yellow more then BigE?
Seriously. Think about it.
