Edmonton, Song lyrics and Rock Stars

Well, not a lot to report these days...however we did go on a family holiday to Edmonton last weekend and had loads of fun. The kids travel exceptionally well, as you can see! Grace and Ethan loved Galaxy Land. I did not shop lots because as was mentioned earlier...it was a FAMILY holiday...I think that I shall go in August sometime...any girls interested...come with!! We went to Ice Age 2 one night and then we stayed after to see the dragon that breathes fire (in the West Ed mall theatres)...it is so awesome...you even feel the heat from the fire! Ethan started to cry...and as the good mom that I am, could not help laughing at him...behind his back, of course...It was kind of cute, I guess!

In other news, here are some song phrases that you never really think that you will hear coming out of your 3 year old daughter's mouth, and are mortified, yet you cannot contain your laughter: "So, tell me what you want, what you really, really want...I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want, I wanna, I wanna"....and so on; "I'm coming up so you better get this party started"; "I like big butts and I cannot lie"...you know that all of these are NOT my fault...I will take full responsibility for the Pink song and also for the "My Humps" by the BEP's fiasco in Old Navy last year...HOWEVER...the others are not mine! I have Shrek and Chicken Little to thank for those!! Honestly, were they not thinking that there would be little kids walking around malls singing, "if you wanna be my lover (lober, if you are Gracie)...". Just not appropriate!....but oh, so funny!

Another funny story...as we all know, Tim is an engineer. Now, for all intents and purposes of my story, usually the older ones lack for anything that remotely resembles style. Tim, on the other hand, likes to shop at Le Chateau. We could refer to him as 'metro'. Anyway, he has been at a 'Hazmat safety response training thing' (blah, blah , blah) for the last couple of days. No one at work ever sees him dressed in normal clothes or with his hair done, as he has to wear a hard hat at work. So there are people there from other companies that he doesn't know and everyone has to introduce themselves. After he does...one of the lead guys tells him he is a ROCK STAR. Funny eh? So the whole day-that is his name. One of the older guys in his group (that he didn't know) even said, "oh just leave this equation to us, rock star"...inferring that Tim couldn't get it. Ya, right...this is Tim, the guy who gets 99's in his math and science classes!! Tim was so mad and I just thought that it was hilarious!! However, between us (and until Monday when he is at his desk and reads this) I think that he liked it because when he left the house today...he was in full rockstar gear...hmmm, maybe I am rubbing off on him!?
