Day 3443

Somehow we managed to celebrate Valentine’s Day two weeks late and pancake day two weeks early. But also both twice.

Pancatine’s and Valencake’s Days!

Day 3442

 I don’t approve of little dawdle ducks staying up until midnight.

That’s my job.

Day 3441

 When your kids are playing a game pretending to walk to a little free library, it has maybe been too long since you last took them outside.

Day 3440

I’m hoping 2022 has a surprise twist where the second half of it (or maybe the last three quarters) is absolutely incomprehensibly dull.

Day 3439

 When people talk about doing something you haven’t done for a while being like riding a bike, they mean you fall on your face and skin your palms and knees before you get the hang of it again, right?

Day 3438

 Whoever designed the 2022 bingo cards is a fucking monster.

Day 3437

Who needs school when you can make paper lanterns and ice cream? 

Day 3436

That feeling when only shovelling out a foot of snow is a relief, because you thought you were going to have to deal with the windrow from the plow.

Day 3435

 Welp… at least the van didn’t get hit by a plow.

Day 3434

2022 continues to be incomprehensible: the liberation of Parliament Hill.

Day 3433

Welcome to the labyrinth. 

(Can we dispose of some of the crappy tiny kid games now?)

Day 3432

 It is extremely unnerving listening to footsteps crunching in the snow on the roof over your head.

Day 3431

 I’m not sure I needed that resounding a result, but you do have to appreciate a thing doing it’s job with enthusiasm.

Day 3430

Practice Pancake Day

Prequel Pancake Day

Mardi Gras Pas

Stove Tuesday

Day 3429

 I guess we’ve had enough trial runs and now it’s time for the real thing.

So far it involves more play dough than I expected.

Day 3428

How to torture a homeowner: tie them up and start a drip in the ceiling where they can see it and hear but can’t do anything about it. 

But at least we have stollen.

Day 3427

Have you considered more fever?

Definitely no cowbell. 

Day 3426

 The times are uncomfortably interesting. Which will come first: the end of the blockade, or the invasion of Ukraine?

And how is this even a thing on one weekend during the Olympics during a pandemic?!

Day 3425

 My inner child is thrilled to have a secret tunnel connecting us to the neighbours.

Also my outer child.

Day 3424

 I can’t say it had ever before occurred to me to dress like an elephant to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but I guess that’s a thing we do around here.

Day 3423

 The sky is falling!

Day 3422

 If only I had known that traditional yoga could fix my everything!

You’d think word would have gotten around before now…

Day 3421

 I have further ideas about a household coat of arms, but I’m not sure how to draw a pedant. Maybe I just need to learn the Latin for ‘house of pedantry’.

Day 3420

 It is nice to live in a world where people get paid to design amazing legos.

Day 3419

 Scotch and lego might be the perfect Friday night.

Day 3418

 Attacking plow ridges, shovelling through the drifts, trying out bassoon concertos.

Day 3417

 Why not just build all the Lego?

Day 3416

LEGO EXTRAVAGANZA!!!

(With more extravagance arriving tomorrow)
