A real post


Finally a real post from the land of Carter!!

I haven't really posted anything since before Christmas and that was so long ago I don't even remember. We've been having lots of fun since then. The holidays went by too fast. I spent Christmas here with mommy and Tony and boy did we have fun. We went to Julia's house for a big dinner, and had Christmas dinner here at home. It was fun! Santa brought me LOTS of stuff and the rest of the family spoiled me too. I am so lucky! Thank you!! Santa left me a GPS but their must have been a mixup because he only left me the empty box. Can you believe it?? Auntie Carrie thinks Santa needed it to find his way home but I think the elves played a trick and kept it for themselves to go geocaching. Either way we went to those nice people at Canadian Tire and they filled the box. Thank goodness! But then we couldn't get that geocache to work properly so we brought it back and I finally got one that works and a few days after Christmas we found our first geocache with it. Right in our neighbourhood! It was pretty awesome!! We've gone out twice since then to find more caches but I think it's harder in the winter because we didn't find either one. We'll have to try again once some of this snow has melted...because did you know we have a TON of snow!! Anyhow back to Christmas...we had everyone here for Christmas dinner and then had a fireworks show in the backyard. It was so much fun! Dom was setting them off and he was making us laugh. He thought he was going to blow up. It was funny!

Hmm...what else is new. A few weeks ago my class went on the first field trip. We went to the NAC to see a production of How the Guamquat Found Her Voice. It was really neat! Mommy came along to volunteer so we had a great morning together.

Then a few weeks ago we decided to take a little vacation. We got up early on a Saturday and dropped Tucker off at the kennel and then went towards Sainte Sauveur. We went tubing for the day at Glissades! http://www.glissades.ca It was sooooo much fun!! We all had our own tubes and could pick them ourselves so we could get fast ones. Then they have his conveyer belt that runs up the mountain so you don't have to wait in any lines to get up to the top. That was so cool! We went down everytime hanging onto each other...Tony went so fast!! We got snow in our faces but it was great. We even did a bunch of the expert runs. We did one HUGE expert run and it was such a thrill I almost peed my pants. So much fun! We rented a hotel in Laval for the night and it had a pool but the heater was broke. We tried to swim anyways but it was way to cold. Oh well. We had breakfast there in the morning and then drove into Montreal. We got a bit lost but finally found the big car show. Wow...lots of people and lots of NICE cars. I liked the race cars. So that was a really fun weekend.

But when we got back Tucker got a little stressed sleeping at the kennel and he was really sick. We had to take him to the vet...he was pooping everywhere and all the time. We got him special pills and food and he's all better now. He's as crazy as ever!!

And the snow...we have a lot!! We had a lot before Christmas but then on Friday we had another big snow storm!! Last week I had a snow day on Wednesday and then a PD Day on Friday. Can't beat that! I still help shovel sometimes but I'm kind of sick of the snow. And usually when I try and shovel Tucker comes and steals my shovel...he thinks he can do a better job.

We had so much snow on Friday that I didn't go to daddy's. I just spent the weekend with Mommy instead. We just stayed home on Friday and Saturday but then on Sunday we went into town. First we went to Isabel's house in Kanata to finally bring her and Julia their Christmas gifts. We had a fun time visiting and playing together. Then we stopped at IKEA to get a shelf. And then went down to the canal to go skating. Turns out Tuck wasn't allowed on the ice so instead Tony walked on the path along the canal and mommy and I skated. I'm doing good on my skates I just need to learn to go forward now. The best part was stopping for Beaver Tails and hot chocolate. Yum!! After that it was late so we had to hurry to Julia's house for dinner. I played with Lyz and ate and then it was home to bed.

That's it for now. Just thought it was time for an update.
