And Maple Syrup For All

Hey, guys, could you please look at the camera?


Wait, lets try it in front of the yellow flowers. And hold the flags where I can see them.


STOP IT! The flag is not a weapon!


Forget it. Happy Birthday, Canada.

    You'd think with all the money you're paying those models, they'd at least cooperate. Or maybe they stand on guard for thee?

    Those are nice flags. And nice boys. I think it's just an explosive mixture.
    (And just what are the child labor laws like in the True North? Or are they simply not enforced?)

    Those boys are too much! I bet you have oodles of great outtakes from all the pictures you've posted. Its like our house at Christmas -- everybody fights and cries so they're all pink-eyed and stressed in the pics.

    Happy Birthday Canada!

    A friend of mine has a Spanish-speaking friend he used to work with at a restaurant. He (Paco, the spanish-speaking friend) was referring to USA's upcoming birthday, and said, "This weekend is the anniversary, yes?" Which is now what I'm going to call the Fourth of July. Exclusively.

    Haven't you learned? With two boys everything can be turned into a weapon.
    Z was shooting me with his kleen-ex the other day!
    Speaking of Z he's on my lap and it took me forever to figure out what he was saying..."a kitten a stormager!"
    Until I realized he was saying "a kid and a storm trooper!"
    You can now add him to your fan base.

    After you put the camera away did they smile and look just perfect? That always happens at our house...

    Does this mean the next generation of Canadians will be violent and have imperialist designs? I, for one, welcome our future overlords. Bring bunny when you invade.

    Oooohhhh Canadaaaaa....I remember my French teacher in HS making us memorize the whole anthem (he was French Canadian--'cause you know that has to be stipulated clearly) and then graded each one of us as we stood in front of the class to 'sing' it....that was a nightmare...now, on a happy note, we used to get to go to the Canadian Embassy in Paris' party every summer (good Canuk friend w/connections)...free beer, food, lot's of fun...couple of days later, the lame-os over at the U.S. embassy had VIP-only loser 4th celebration...haaaaaaaa. Happy Canada Day! One word re: the kids: "hi-ya" (said while waving flag in karate-chop fashion ;p)
