You know, when I first found out I was going to be a Dad I was, well, I was stunned! Me? Somebody’s father!?!?!
When the cloud lifted I began to get gitty over how much for the better, my life was going to change!
Somebody to watch cartoons with, plan birthday parties, and of course all the holidays would be that much more fun with a kid around!
That would include Christmas. I used to walk by all the Toy Departments, wishing I had an excuse to see what was cool and fun, now with two girls I have a reason. Plus, with them getting older, our tastes in ‘cool & fun’ are getting closer and closer.
This week, we started getting our….I mean their, lists together for their letters to Santa Claus. But not before I reminded them of how much fun we had at a friend’s house recently playing with a Nintendo Wii. Surely one of my girls would remember how much we laughed, and go out of their way to put it on their list!
Right?
My 8 year old wants a Hannah Montana PSP, and a collar for her rabbit! Those 2 items were followed by Webkinz and clothes, but no Wii 
That’s all right, because there’s a reason we have 2 kids.
My 6 year old wants clothes…….clothes? CLOTHES!?!?! I swear, the first 3 items on her list were CLOTHES!!! Followed by a Webkinz, and the new Tinkerbell movie.
No Wii
I have 2 days to change their minds or else I’ll be spending Christmas morning registering Webkinz and hosting a fashion show.

They’ll be awarding the Grey Gup for the 97th time this Sunday, and if you’re looking for some local connection how about former Wilfrid Laurier players Joel Wright and, Cambridge’s Anthony Maggiacomo, who will be suiting up for the Montreal Alouettes.
Plus, Waterloo born Luca Congi, along with former University of Waterloo Warrior standout Chris Best, is expected to be donning the green and white of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
The Als may be favourites, but a 6 member KIX crew put it to a vote and the majority is predicting a Green Rider upset.

I love these stories, and often ask this when interviewing stars. LeAnn Rimes became a household name in 1996 when her debut album ‘Blue’ reached No. 1. The title track became a Top 10 hit when LeAnn was just 13 years old. By the time she was 15, the country cutie had won two Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Country Vocal Performance (‘Blue’).
So where was LeAnn when she heard her first single on the radio?
“I heard ‘Blue’ for the first time when I was in Nashville,” LeAnn says. “My family and I were returning the rental car at the airport before a flight. It came on right as we were about to get out of the car. I wouldn’t let them return it until the song was over. We held up traffic for several minutes!”
