Hello!
Wow...you managed to track us down in an internet stalking kind of way.
This was only put up to help us port over to wordpress...so there isn't going to be any new content...and I'll probably get rid of it eventually.
Come see our new (er..old?) place, we've redecorated.

The case of the vanishing sternum
You know how when you have house guests and they help you clean up and sometimes stuff goes missing?
Cheese graters put in the wrong cupboard, socks in the linen cabinet, gin bottle in the recycling?
Well, I can't find the turkey wishbone.

blogger stole my archives.
I just KNOW they're gonna show up on E-bay.
I was just getting ready to tell you all the cool search terms you can use to find toomad, and gonna give you the corresponding posts...but you'll have to use your imagination for now.
"mom boobs" (image search)
"vancouver first haircut"
"child vomits when mad"
"mamarazzi"
"baby but" (image search)
"Buyed you"
mad fire pants
it's a bit clangy
quit job move to vancouver blog
I'm so proud. Let me tell you.
So...we might disappear for a day or two. We've had a call from the mother ship. Oh..wait, no, that's next week. We're finally moving from blogger to wordpress. Which will either mean a lot to you and you'll hold your breath and cross your fingers with me or it will mean nothing and you'll wonder if that's any closer to where you are than Vancouver.
If you're pining for us, and you don't mind construction sites, you can have sneak previews here:

640x480 and 1024×768
- To leave the country atleast once (going to the US doesn't count).
- To keep our credit card balance at zero.
- Reinstate the early to bed (8pm) once a week rule.
- To find some of the people we've lost over the last bunch of years.
- To unpack and scan all my books into librarything. I'd add "return my library books on time" but I've come to terms with this...I figure paying my library fines is a charitable act. On weeks when I'm really generous I kick them under the bed for an extra day or two.
- organize our box(es) of important papers. These have been accumulating since our move to Chicago in 2000 and contain, degrees, birth certificates, the original and only copy of our Scottish wedding certificate, mortgage detritus and closing statements x2. Pregnancy and birth and newborn paperwork. Tax stuff, student loan stuff, every piece of art McKay has brought home from school. Various gum wrappers of Dan's with ip addresses on them. Passwords and userids for blogs, games and lists we participate in. My coffee card from Botterell hall in Kingston and a fat cat.
The Year in Review
So....
- We moved a bazillion kilometers and haven't unpacked yet.
- Dan has a new job, that he hates. I have a new job that I like ($), but that I'm going to quit to take a new job that I might not like ($$$).
- We went to Mexico and Seattle, apparently we can only travel if we know we'll end up sharing tequila shots with K&K.
- No more pullups, and we've switched to a booster seat.
- It rains here, but not as much as we'd like, or as much as we expected. It is however always cold.
- Everyone getting a bit older, Puck turned 9 this last year and is slowing down pretty quickly. McKay turned 4, and is speeding up proportionately. Both like gumdrops.
- We no longer are held captive by Netflix and TiVo and it's a darn shame.
- having to learn a new cell phone was the hardest part of the move. (other than the puking in the dark thing...).

...never a catapult
"Bags of moist and many-colored jelly babies and a folded flag and a false nose and a tram-conductor's cap and a machine that punched tickets and rang a bell; never a catapult; once, by mistake that no one could explain, a little hatchet; and a celluloid duck that made, when you pressed it, a most unducklike sound, a mewing moo that an ambitious cat might make who wished to be a cow; and a painting book in which I could make the grass, the trees, the sea and the animals any colour I pleased, and still the dazzling sky-blue sheep are grazing in the red field under the rainbow-billed and pea-green birds." -Dylan Thomas

The Law of Unintended Consequences
Sometimes the best intentions don't quite work out the way we envisioned. Terry Pratchett says the bricks that make up the road to Hell all have little sayings on them like "I just wanted to have some fun" and "I didn't mean for anyone to get hurt".
McKay is coming to grips with the concept of mortality. He is aware that things, including people, can die. This is starting to become a globally applicable concept so it's not just plants and animals that can die, but people too. His people.
Also, we have told McKay many times that the way he gets big and strong is by getting good rest, eating good food and getting good exercise. He knows candy is a special treat that he can have once in a while, but not too often because it doesn't do anything to help him grow, regardless of how tasty it is.
It being Christmas eve, we (and as it turns out, a multitude of other parents) were looking for something to do to let McKay burn off some of the nervous energy he had about the impending arrival of the Jolly Old Man. So we went to Science World, which is always good for a rainy afternoon (or holiday eve) of running around. On our way out, we decided that he could have some cotton candy as a treat.
This all ties together. I promise.
McKay and I had the following conversation in the car while we were waiting for Lorraine to get out of a quick shop in the grocery store. The scene: McKay sitting in the back seat, snacking on some of his spun blue sugar, I in the driver's seat.
M: Dad, when are you going to die?
D: Not for a long lot of years.
M: Why not for long?
D: Well, because I try to stay healthy. I get good rest and eat good food to try to stay healthy. One of the things people believe is that the healthier you are, the longer you'll live, so I try to stay healthy.
M: (ten second pause) I'm going to stop eating my cotton candy.
D: (Oh crap, I think to myself.) Why, honey?
M: Because I don't want to die when I get older.
D: Oh nononononono, honey, don't worry about it. You get candy every once in a while, and you always eat such good food. Don't worry about it, this won't make you sick. A little treat every once in a while is just fine.
M: (another ten second pause) Okay.
Then he started eating the cotton candy again. I couldn't help but feel like I'd dodged a bullet on that one.
As an aside, a two pint tub of cotton candy only has about 54 calories in it. That's better than a candy bar. And yes, this was a "there are eggs and milk in chocolate cake!" moment for me.

Wassail
Not being Christian, we've pondered alot lately about how to talk to McKay about why and how we celebrate "Christmas". One of our carol albums (BareNakedLadies) has Happy Birthday dear Jesus on it...so we told him the traditional Christmas story about a baby being born.To try to shift the emphasis of the season towards something without so many conflicting messages we've started to also focus on the solstice. Last night we spent the evening by candlelight, eating, playing games and squinting. After dinner we joined a parade of over 1000 people along Falsecreek. There were drummers, mummers and everyone was carrying lanterns. Kids were everywhere. Met one woman who's little one was 6 days old. Several large parades all joined up at the FalseCreek community centre where we were met by a fabulous choir of MorrisMen, fire dances and general carousing. We drank hot chocolate, square danced (Mckay can Dosedo and Promenade), and watched the Morrismen put on a play.

Love presents
Coming home from school yesterday and talking about christmas and baking and everything. McKay just starts SOBBING from the back seat. We stop the car and try to figure out what is going on. He finally (in several soggy takes) manages to say, "But WHEN am I going to get my LOVE presents? I've been waiting so l-l-long!".
Dan and I are both perplexed, and get him to repeat it a few times not having a clue what he is talking about.
He adds a few more details, then says, "My LOVE presents....like...like, like, your puppy Mama."
Oh. I had posted awhile ago about a conversation I had with him, about how not only Santa brings presents, but that in our family, we also bought gifts for people we love.
Love presents.
(No, I'm not getting a puppy...it's just what I always answer when he/Dan asks me what I want).

Here comes the sun!
Ok...tomorrow is the shortest day of the year for those of us here in the Northern Hemisphere. Huzzah.
Dec 21, 2006 8:05 AM 4:16 PM 8h 11m 31s − 0m 03s
Dec 22, 2006 8:05 AM 4:17 PM 8h 11m 33s + 0m 02s
Dec 23, 2006 8:06 AM 4:17 PM 8h 11m 41s + 0m 07s
You know what made me realize how extremely very hugely far north we are? Nope...not the 8 hours 11 minutes of daylight quoted above...but this cool script that lets me see where I would come out if I dug a hole straight through the earth. Egads. We end up south east of Madagascar.
Try it, it's fun. http://map.pequenopolis.com/

We did it.
Left McKay with someone not family (or Kirkwood neighbours, but they really are kind of family so that didn't count) for 2.5 hours this evening. That was long enough, but we already have plans to do it again next month!

How 'Bout Pudding*
Had chili for dinner tonight.
A new recipe we came across in the fall. White beans, beer, chipotle/adobo smokiness and boneless skinless chicken thighs. Delicious. Unless you're four. He had nachos.
After dinner we were talking about a fabulous chocolate chile pudding I had eaten on the weekend and reminiscing about Chocolate Chile breadpudding from Gourmet a year or so ago.
M; "you put CHILI in pudding??? That's DISGUSTING".

Serious Traffic
Our Foodie post got reposted to Serious Eats sometime yesterday.
When I was checking the site stats before bed last night things were looking a tad different.
Last time we had hits like that, someone* had put up a nekid baby picture and labelled it "naked helmet". Well....oh my goodness, who knew THAT would be a popular image search term.
Anyhow, welcome to anyone who makes it as far as here...and sorry for all the baby_butt pictures.

Breakfast Cereal Angst
Came across this earlier this week:
But you know, they can't go DOING this kind of stuff to us...next they're going to tell us that eating Cap'n Crunch Does NOT make me a Pirate. Becoming a pirate on the typical career path is just not something I have time for right now. Guess I'm stuck with the Flying Spaghetti Monster route.
An independent study completed at the University of Vermont shows that Lucky Charms, the popular breakfast cereal produced by consumer foods company General Mills, may not in fact be "magically delicious". Instead, the study contends that the reason the cereal is delicious is the combination of complex sugars and additives.
