Time to bake the Metropasses

I'm up real early on a Monday, still unemployed but keeping busy. I'm heading over to the CNIB to help distribute TTC metropasses to blind Torontonians. It's not a magnanimous gesture, I benefit greatly from the pass myself. I also believe that it is my civic responsibility to put back in what I've taken out.

Last night my mom had a fantastic Birthday dinner for me. I turn 30 on Wednesday. She made a meaty lasagna and a vegetarian option for our herbivore guests. As requested she also picked up a black forrest cake. My friend Shawna came all the way to Missisauga, along with my cousin Treya, her husband @Ondre and their little monkey Lula. My Granny Mo & Andy were there and so was my brother Paul. We even phoned my brother Marc who is over in France snowboarding. I got some great gifts, my auntie Chrissy gave me a bad-assed Venom luchador mask and the Kick-Ass graphic novel. Paul gave me a wii controller and a gift card with enough credit for a copy of the new Zelda game (everywhere he checked for it was sold out). I'm going to spend some serious time playing that game. It was such a great night.

Lula at Soccer!

My cousin Treya takes her daughter to soccer practice and sometimes I get to tag along. It's the cutest thing. The kids are so fun to watch. I took this video with my flip, I will post more as I can. I am still dependent on the nearby Second Cup for internet.

Here Lula can't seem to figure out the cones when they are in a curved line.

Lula loves Bobs and Lolo and a Parking Garage Playset.

My cousin Treya has a beautiful little girl named Lula, and yesterday we went to Mastermind to see Bobs & Lolo. The musical act form Vancouver are quite popular among the diaper wearing set. The music was fun and the kids were really into the interactivity, although it might be early for kids to be indoctrinated into the world of mosh-pitting. A nearby Parking Garage playset seemed to be a brightly coloured distraction to a few of the children, including Lula. It was so cool to watch her interact with other children, and to see how much better behaved she seems to be. Whenever a kid would grab a car and shout "MINE!", Lula would shrug it off and play with something else.

Lula's attention span was challenged by a nearby parking garage playset

Boogying Down did occur 

This is the sour look she gave when she saw the camera,
I assure you she was having a good time
