And just so that you do not think that I am just a miserable old crank who likes to complain about crappy customer service like the kind we received from Sears, let me tell you about shopping at Costco in Burnaby. Everyone we meet in the store is happy to see us, marvels at the twins and […]

Fisher Price decoration style
Nevermind Martha Stewart or Nate Berkus decoration styles, our house is now done up in Fisher Price decorations. Everything is done in primary colours and is very low to the floor. It is very pleasing to the eye during the day time but deadly at night when the lights are out and one is hurrying for […]
Sears portrait studio FAIL update
So we called the Sears 1-800 number…and Sears earned a big fat FAIL this morning. The offer to “make things better” was to offer us another free sitting. Fabulous except we bought the package the first time we went into Sears that waives all future sitting fees. Ah, but this offer includes three free sheets. Sheets are […]

Whereas Blonde Bear loves to be at her desk working like her Papa, Brown Bear prefers the more leisurely approach to life.

First thing that we noticed is that Story, the Baby B, and smaller of the two at birth, is always on the move. She has discovered how to roll side to side and travels all around the […]

If you had twin baby girls at home who are too young to get vaccinated against the H1N1 flu and you worked in a place where some of the people believe it is important for them to come into work even though they have been positively diagnosed with H1N1, would you reconsider getting the vaccine […]
Daylight savings time
I guess the twins did not get the memo about the clocks all being moved back an hour last night. Ususally at 6pm we take them upstairs and bathe them, get them into clean sleeping sacks, argue about how much baby powder to use on them (I err on the side of never too much) read […]
Movember in support of men’s health issues
In support of the fund-raiser for mens’ health issues I have decided to shave my beardy-thing off and sport a moustache for the month of Movember. I suppose I will now have to look into how the fund-raining aspect of this process works. I was hoping Greenpeace would not hear about this shaving today, it […]
