Losing my Canadian Words

I just noticed that on my last post I said second grade!
I am losing my Canadian words.
I should have said, "Logan is in grade two."
It is disturbing that I am slowly assimilating.
I try to keep saying things like, KRAFT DINNER
ICING SUGAR, ICHIBAN, CHOCOLATE BAR,
TOQUE, SQUARES, CINNAMON BUN,
SOOTHER, and of course EH, but BINKY,
TREATS,POWDERED SUGAR, CANDY BAR,
BEANIE, RAMEN NOODLES,
MACARONI & CHEESE, and CINNAMON ROLL
accidentally come out. And for all of my American
friends, I still say EH because you have no good
substitute for it. I actually still say words both ways
and am starting to forget which is which!
Oh well, at least I like the weather here.

FALL

I love SCHOOL!

My kids are all way excited when they get to go to school.

Layla just started her first year of co-op preschool

Jameson has one more year of co-op preschool

Logan is in 2nd grade

When I only have Henry life is QUIET!

Oh no! At least she didn't cut it all off!

This is a sensitive subject in my family.

When I was 2 yrs old my mom loved to do my long blonde hair.

I was her 4th kid, first girl and so she had waited a long time.

Too bad my poor unfortunate brother Max decided to cut it all off!

Needless to say, she was VERY angry, and actually

sent him to bed without any supper!!!!!! It was so tramatic that

the other boys remember sneaking him crackers under the door.

Growing up hearing that story made me worried

that my boys might do the same thing.

I never thought Layla would do this to herself.

She pulled her curler out and all the hair came with it!

OUCH!!!!!

Jameson did it too!

So this summer we had Layla pull her hair out,

and then Jameson decided to cut his bangs off.

When Logan did this a few years ago we cut his

hair into a Mohawk, so to follow tradition Jay

had it done to him too! We only made him

keep it for a few minutes as a punishment and

deterrent, so hopefully he won't do it again.

It worked for Logan anyway.
