Had snow and freezing rain most of yesterday.  First shovelling of the year this morning and already my back is sore :P  Getting oooooold.  But that browned butter thing, I didn’t know that was a specific process for treating butter before you use it in baking.  I’ve found a few cookie recipes that include that and I’m curious to try it!  Has anybody baked with that before?  Does it really change the flavour?

Vote Incentive: last year’s Pokemon Xmas fun :D

Christmas stuff!  I still want to make some Bear Nuts related designs, I just haven’t gotten a sketch I like yet.  Will keep at it, but in the meantime:  you can get my stocking stuffers series on cards/prints/phone cases/skins/mugs/pillows at Red Bubble (and shirts/hoodies as well of course).

Sloooow drive home from my parent’s house last night, first snow storm I’ve driven in this almost winter… and yet tomorrow is supposed to be plus 7 degrees?  May be a green Christmas again.

Speaking of green, Crack is back!  And a little wet.

My brothers sent me a pic of the wonderful Christmas present they bought Owen: a giant Nerf gun that fires 3 darts per shot and comes with 36 darts in the drum.  It’s called “The Judge” and I’m not sure he’ll even be able to lift it… so that should cause absolutely no problems or fights what so ever.  I’ve got to start thinking of some great revenge gifts when/if they have kids…

Vote incentive: a Christmasy T-rex (shirt design available on Woot)

Also, ‘Tototree’ on Woot :)

In case you didn’t know: one week till Christmas!  As the kids have been reminding me ALL day Sunday.  I don’t imagine today will be any different, other than EVEN MORE EXCITING!!  I have to wrap stuff and bake stuff and clean stuff, and they get to run around being excited.  Oh well, it’s catching :)

Vote Incentive: Deck the halls with surly super heros! (sang that as I typed of course) and get it on a shirt from Neato.

Minus 20 something yesterday (-30 something in the wind) and due for a high of +1 today… that’s extreme.  The kind of weather I like shovelling in!  And considering the 3-4 pounds of shortbread I have to work off…

Vote Incentive: winter warm up friends around the fire (till bear totally pushes that rabbit in)

As we sit deeply in cold and flu season here, I hope I’m not jinxing myself.  We were pretty lucky last winter with none of the boys really getting anything serious (if you don’t count some constantly drippy noses serious but I was damn sick of finding snot trails everywhere), even our doctor was impressed.  Yay us?

Vote incentive: the spirit animal for all those New Year’s resolutions to shed some pounds…

But if you’re looking for an easier resolution to follow, this guy’s got you covered :)  Available in kid’s and adults tees from Shirt Woot.

And that last panel has happened to us many, many times :P  And it always amazes me when they do things like throw up in their beds, or all over the hall on the way to the bathroom.  Do they not feel it coming??  I’ve always felt it, uncomfortably, well in advance of actually vomiting and have lots of time to hang miserably over a toilet bowl.   The kids always seem completely taken by surprise.  Ugh.

Vote incentive: Xmas post from our Face Book page.

Deeeeeaaaattthhhhhh Bear!

Currently in Mexico for my cousin’s wedding :)  Here’s hoping none of us drowns or gets heat stroke…again (the heat stroke thing, not the drowning.)

In the meantime, Evil gets ready for Valentine’s Day :D (get the design on a shirt at Neato)

Back from Mexico!  Arrived in Ottawa at 4 am, out scraping ice off the car by 4:30 in the parking lot, minus the gloves I forgot to pack, in a minor snow storm.  It was actually not too cold considering Feb in Canada.  Home by 5:30, did some unpacking cause I was too wired to sleep.  Passed out at 7, woken up by noisy kids at 9:45.  Shovelled.
Wedding was beautiful, weather was awesome, though it was too windy that night to have dinner outside which would have been nice.  Can’t complain though, amazing trip, belly is sun burnt.  All the kids on the trip were either sick before they got there, had some diarrhoea/vomiting, or were fine all week and then threw up on the plane.  Evan decided to pee himself at the reception, cause he’s all about the timing.
I’m going to bed.

Coffee!

Happy Monday everyone!  I’m writing this Sunday night before I go to bed, watching the freezing rain coming down and crossing my fingers that they don’t cancel the school buses tomorrow :(  Mondays are the best day of the week: back to school boys!!

I’ve been slowly re-watching some of the Marvel movies before the Black Panther premiere, had to doodle some bro love for Valentine’s Day :)

Fancy beer!  I have no idea where they got it.  Probably Evil’s magic fanny pack or something.

And this was my little cousin on the plane back from Mexico… one set of little cousins were apparently feeling sick before we even left Ottawa, then they shared of course and other kids came home sick.  Bit not mine fortunately :D  Owen just wet the bed and Evan had a little bit of traveler’s diarrhea- GOOD TIMES :)

Vote Incentive: speaking of vomit…or hair balls in this case.

I remember doing a small sewing project in home ec class back in grade 9? 10?  Not my strength.  I can’t even remember what we did in that class in general, other than one time we made apple crisp and almost missed the bus because the teacher said we had to stay till it came out of the oven.  It was a generally useless class that I’m not sure is even a thing anymore?  A life skills class about budgeting and taxes would be so much better.

Vote Incentive: Forest friends :)

Poor Evil.  There is no trust :)  Which is the same problem I have with the twins when I ask them to go to the bathroom and they claim they don’t have to… bull shit son(s).  I long ago lost faith.

Vote Incentive: Happy belated International Women’s Day!  I hope it was ‘Wonder’ful!

Black Panther ladies!  Get the design on a tee from Neatorama :D

Happy late St. Paddy’s Day to all!!  I made spinach muffins with the boys so that was our green thing (I ate way too many).  I know they might sound kind of weird but they are AWESOME (this recipe here in particular:  https://www.superhealthykids.com/sweet-spinach-muffins/)   Whole wheat flour, honey, banana, butter, almond milk, a TON of spinach, and NO processed sugars :)

Vote incentive: DC girls find a new use for that lasso :)

Happy late Easter to those that celebrated this past weekend (Jim’s family is Greek, I think Orthodox Easter is next weekend?? He doesn’t remember).  Anyway, we had a fantastic family brunch at one of my favourite restaurants and Evan was “defeated” by the buffet.  He was too stuffed to even try the chocolate chip/whipped peanut butter sandwich!  His head was actually down on the table while he mumbled at me about no more food.  He managed to rally for the egg hunt though.  Egg hunt number 2 at a friend’s house today, and my mother insists on doing one at her house tonight so…I think this will be worse than Halloween.
