So first full day nearly over. It still feels much much later than it actually is - didn't get any jetlag that I noticed in Sydney but here my poor head is confused. Kept waking up last night and thinking it was morning. Didn't help that I kept reading my watch upside down, so I thought 1:15 was quarter to 7 and 3am was 9 :p
Leo appears to have claimed me as his personal servant and spends most of his time demanding I play/get stuff/dance/watch terrible kids tv and so on. He hates the snow tho - screams like mad if he has to go near it, tho he'll have to get used to it!
Ollie on the other hand loves it and we spent an hour or more this morning having snowball fights and making snow angels, Really Big snowballs and a Really Small snowman (snowdwarf really). I'm not sure who was having more fun, I haven't seen that much snow, well, ever really I think :p Great stuff!
Went on a quick drive round Oakville later on, saw the lake - it is Very Big and did a bit of shopping, tho with the Terrible Toddler (I wanna get OUT, I no like Santa, I wanna cookie, wanna go HOME) in tow, we couldn't stay too long.
Did tho see some woman get her Tiny Little Rat Dog get it's picture taken with Santa. Seriously.
The thing had a jumper on and kept trying to bite Santa, which brought much amusement all round. Except to Santa of course, who looked extremely unimpresed with the whole thing, and I can't really blame him.

Thats about it so far! No Mounties as of yet ;p

PS the new Stompy boots are GREAT in the snow, warm, dry and grippy. STOMP STOMP

i think it's time you made an anatomically correct snowman. for science and education and, um, that stuff! also, then you will be ARRESTED by MOUNTIES. and thus, will be able to take pictures of them.

see? this is logic. (logic on huge volumes of drink, but logic nonetheless!

I heart stompyboots.

get me a photo of a mountie if you see one! I only ever managed to get a photo of a park warden in uniform on a horse (it was a BIG park) and pretend to everyone back home it was a mountie.

But then we pretended to everyone we saw Celine Dionne shopping for underwear too.

You know, I think I'm allowed to blame you for the snow, as it showed up just around the time that you did. Please tell your frozen north atlantic weather to be leaving.

You could have a point, it did arrive the same night I did :p
But I bought NEW BOOTS so there had to be *some* snow!

Hold on a sec, Canada is frozen and it's in the north atlantic? Well, it's more frozen than here, mate! No Gulf Stream...

In fact, it's in the North Atlantic, the Pacific AND the Arctic Ocean!!!
