Showing off the moves

At hockey the Boy got to play with a puck for the first time on the ice. It was pretty exciting, here is some video of him going across the ice.

He has come a long way since his first practice where he was scared and cried the whole time on the ice. Every practice he gets better and tries more stuff.

Pumpkin Picking

We went to a local farm that has a great pumpkin patch along with animals and hayrides. A new calf was born about 30 minutes before we got there, and I like to stare at the black angus cows and think of the yummy steaks walking around. Here are a few pictures from our adventures:

Strawberry Shortcake is Dangerous

This is a Public Service Announcement for all you unsuspecting parents regarding Strawberry Shortcake. She is one dangerous little berry. Yesterday as my The Girl and I were playing she chucked one of here Strawberry Shortcake board books at me. It struck me in the side of the nose with quite a thud and my nose is still sore and tender today. Plus when it hit I felt sick to my stomach and a little woozy so I thought that it was broken, I don't think it is but it was quite painful. So I am staying a fair distance away from Strawberry Shortcake.

A new phrase from The Boy, "What the Fake?" I can only assume he learned this at school after I taught him, "Damn it!" Which he has turned to "Bam it!" All we try to do is ignore it so we shall see how long this lasts.

Watch out NHL!

The Boy started hockey, well actually a 'Learn to Play' hockey program. He has been talking about this a long time and it is finally here. His first day was a little rough, he was scared and his helmet was a little tight so I spent the session on the ice with him trying to get hom to skate around. However the second session was a ton better. He was on the ice by himself was able to get up most of the time by himself and most importantly he had a good time. So I figure the 2023 NHL draft he should be ready.
