our teenager

It's official... Seb is a teenager.
So as is customary at his school apparently, 
his new year was rung in with a dusting of 13 kilos of flour and a dozen raw eggs.



He did make sure to take a crappy backpack and wear some old clothes. I can attest to the staying power of the eggs. Seb was all smiles when I picked him up from drumming. Yes, he had to go to his drum lesson after. Seeing as the instructor is a funny guy himself, he was kind enough to vacuum Seb off a bit with his hand held dust buster. Oh, the joys of turning thirteen.

Holiday highlights....


Our Christmas seafood dinner was so very delicious. 
We should celebrate Christmas every month.


It's been soo windy here lately, 
we've been finding all sorts of stuff washed up on the beach. 


Jean-Jacques was here.....



What's that you say? Looking for your missing glove?


Or your missing shotgun shell?



And then things started getting kind of goofy. Like this stoplight for leaving the beach, a stop sign might have been a bit cheaper, but who am I to say. Perhaps in summer this becomes a really high traffic area and a stoplight is really the only way to go.




 Two little bikes, reminded me of Jeff riding Aiden's bike up at the cottage. 
Shrine circus bikes?


Super stylish banana seat.... 




 No dog walking here,  
just taking our baskets (yes, Seb found two) to get a bit of fresh air.


Keeping our heart rates elevated, 
a bit of sponge golf anyone?


Spotted a Green Bay Packer fan taking a stroll.....


Stef and Seb doing who knows what, 
but they sure look like they are having fun.










I laughed soo hard....

So the other night Seb had something in his teeth and asked me for some dental floss. I will admit, we  are not dental floss kind of people. We should, but honestly, we just don't floss.
 So, Seb being not really familiar with using it, 
proceeded to cut off a section of floss about 1/2 inch long 
and started to get down and dirty between his two front teeth. 
Only my son would be able to manage holding and effectively using a 1/2 long piece of dental floss. 
He did accept my recommendation of trying a longer piece 
and after a quick tutorial that little something was gone baby gone.
 So funny.
