If you're taking a trip that doesn't include dropping kids off in Toronto, knock yourself out! :D

LOL. You're no fun. They're cute, you know! And my first grader will even read your emails for you. :o

That's what I'm talking about! I don't need someone to read my e-mails for me. Can they cook?

My four-year old can zap a hot dog in the microwave. Will that help?

It would help if I wanted a hot dog, but I'll bet it would have to be a veggie hot dog for Steph.

It would be a veggie dog, preferably a hot & spicy chili dog.

Maybe it's fate that I look after IAKG's child ~ we are getting a microwave this weekend.

Would you teach her about hockey, and how to say "eh" at the end of the sentence, eh?

She'd learn through osmosis within the first week, I'm sure!

(don't forget she'd be eating Shreddies every day, too!)

LOL Yes, good ol' Shreddies...........and pouring milk from a bag, no doubt????

As long as "Shreddies" don't contain peanuts, are made in a factory that processes peanuts, yada, yada, yada, she'd be fine, Steph. And she already loves to watch tennis and golf on TV, so I think hockey would be just fine.

Shreddies are like Shredded Wheat, so I don't think there would be a problem.

Wellllll, she has a wheat allergy, too, although we just let her eat stuff with wheat in it and deal with the non-life-threatening consequences. Maybe she'd better stick with Frosted Flakes, her favorite. :)

But they're not Canadian! :D

Is there a Canadian look-alike? She's pretty okay with lots of cereal--just no overt wheat, and especially those darn peanuts!

Nah, we get Frosted Flakes, too. It's just slightly disappointing because SS & I have a long-running joke about Shredded Wheat.

Do you guys have Puffed Wheat? Damn, that's still wheat, though.

My hat's off to you for having to deal with those food allergies, IAKG.

Well, we decided about a year ago to deal with all of the reactions and put everything in but the peanuts. It was hard to listen to a 2-year old or 3-year old beg to go to McDonalds.

Damn, I can't imagine. McDonald's & the Happy Meal is a part of most kids' childhoods.

Exactly! It was awful. So now I have a four-year old practically permanently covered in little bumps and scratching all of the time, despite the many drugs she takes...but with a very full and happy tummy. :)

And probably a mom bouncing off the wall.

Nah...just some of the time. :)

Doesn't help that you were in chat with WI this evening, I'm sure!

:D Probably not.

Oh, oh. Came in late. Is your little one having problems, IAKG? Sure hope not.

Nah, just having a discussion with Steph, DB. You know--since she's going to be keeping her for a while. :D

No, didn't know that. That'll be fun for both of them.

Now, Steph, you mind her, okay? :D :D

I will not mind her! Any kids delivered to me in Toronto will be left naked in the streets!!!!! :D :D :D


(That *had* to scare you!)

<----wonders if they have something similar to the Department of Human Services in Toronto. :D

<----- delivers himself to Toronto just so he can be naked in the streets!

But you'd better watch out for stray hockey pucks, WildIrish!!

ROFL SS ~ the street next to mine actually has a sign that says "no street hockey permitted"

CAR!

Hockey pucks, eh? I bet they hurt even more than paintballs! Hmmm, won't someone let me inside? It's starting to snow! Hello? Hello?

Awww, you love your outdoor nude time, WI! I'm keeping the door locked a little longer.

<---- makes a snow angel!

Would that be face up or face down?

Face up...the snow's not deep enough for face down yet! ha ha

Snow? What snow?

Sleigh bells, are you listening?

I'm not ready for snow, are you?

....walking in a winter wonderland.

I'm certainly not ready for the Christmas commercials!
