Ok, so I am back from Canada, and Halloween is done. Everything went just great! The kids had an awesome Halloween, and really seemed to enjoy themselves.
My parents showed up on Thursday to stay with the kids while we went away. Oh by the way, I am down another half pound....I did that on Thursday too.
So Dane Cook and Toronto.....
Toronto was great, although very expensive. 15 bucks for 2 beers, though their beer is higher in alcohol percentage wise, 10 bucks for a pack of smokes! Crazy. We ate some good food and walked tons. Took the subway for a VERY short distance and one cab ride.
Dane Cook was funny BUT he did quite a bit of his old material. Which for this show being the opening show of his tour that was a little dissapointing. All the same, it was fun, and it was an experience neither of us had ever done-seeing a "famous" stand up comedian.
A large beer at the stadium was $9.50 and a medium was $7 I think. So when we complain here.......
Leaving Canada took forever. An hour and a half to get across the border, apparently everyone was leaving Canada at the same time.
I didn't really take many photos and I did them on a single use digital camera so I have to actually take it in to get the pictures back, so I will post a couple if they come out decent.
So anyway, the kids had a blast with my parents and I am TOTALLY at ease now about leaving them overnight if the chance comes up again.
On a side note, Grace has started crawling in bed with us at night now. I don't know if its because of us leaving or what, but I almost knocked her off the other night thinking the cat was laying on me!
Ok, that is it for now.
Have a good one.
