Sorry for being absent...

I always tell myself that I am going to make sure I blog at least twice a week if not more frequently and well life happens....

I don't know how blogger moms that update their site everyday do it - cause I can't - well anymore.

I am going to give you a condensed version of what I have been up to for the last week and a bit - and hopefully I will have time to elaborate on some of them a bit latter.

• Memere and Pepere are visiting
• Garden is mostly planted - frost attacks - we win
• C Monster get a doll house
• I make a bed for C Monster dolls - as per his request
• C Monster get new shoes - he must sleep, eat - basically live in them
• I make broccoli waffles - not my best creation but edible
• C Monster vocabulary expands at mad speeds
• "I am working girl again" - my boss is horrible (he he he I love you Geoff)
• C Monster learns to unlock doors
• E Monster gives me flowers 
• Mothers Day comes and goes

I am sure many other things happened but these are the ones that stick in my head at this time.

AGO Response to cost for Off The Wall

A little while back I blogged about Off The Wall at the AGO.  Despite the fact that everytime we have been there no one has ever asked us for tickets or proof that we paid admission this is AGO official reasponse on the cost of admission for Off The Wall.

"Hi Pierrette,

Thank you for your email.

Access to the Off the Wall centre is included with the purchase of admission.  It isn’t free, you have to buy an admission ticket to show the staff at the centre.  If you have any more questions, please let us know.

Regards,
Information Desk

A week in Images and Words

The TTC

We started the week last weekend with a trip on the TTC.  C Monster loves the TTC.  What is not to love about trains, buses and street cars.  We tend to walk everywhere so going on the transit is a treat for him.  He also loves being a big boy and holding on the bars and so on.

The subway is a "chocho"; the street car is this weird gesture with his hands and the bus is the gesture from the wells on the bus go round and round.  I love how with everyday C Monster us communicating more and more with us.

By the way we were taking the TTC to go to my friend Lisa's birthday; she wanted to go bowling.  Happy belated B-day Lisa.

Drop in Fun

Since the weather turned to well almost summer; I had not been out to the drop in's in a bit.  So on Tuesday we decided to go to Blake.  C Monster loves it there and best of all we bumped into one of our friends Darlene and her grandson.

C decided that he had to paint not with one brush but will all the brushes... I don't need to mention that he made a mess do I.

That being said his artwork was quite nice - we have to go back next week to pick it up.

During the nice weather the teacher brings the kids outside;  they have such a nice playground there - really well designed for little ones.  If you live in Toronto - East End this is definitely a spot you should check out. (Blake Street Junior Public School, 21 Boultbee Ave, (416) 393-9415.

 The Garden is Growing

I played rusian roullet with the weather this year and planted early.  Well Toronto is well past frost warnings but I did not know how the garden would react to be planted in April instead of may.  So far so good. I noticed my carrots are srpouting same goes from my radishes and most of the seaddlings I transplanted are surviving and growing. 

Chocolate?

I just had to share this video with you guys...

Looking Forward To

Seeing Grandpa Roy Tomorrow.
