But seriously now...

...there's just not a lot to report on. We are having a pretty average week. Swam this morning and Liam is currently taking a marathon nap. I made some sweet potatoes for him this afternoon and will try them at dinner to see if I get the thumbs up or down. He loves the kind that come in the jar so he should like these, but, well, it's him, yaknow? So anything goes. They taste kind of funny to me, but I don't eat sweet potatoes (although I don't know why - they really aren't offensive) so I really have nothing to compare it to...

The one exciting thing that has happened this week is that Chad had a meeting in Toronto, and picked up some stuff from Ikea while he was there. We got two cheapy loveseats for the family room, the only ones that Liam will be allowed to jump on in this house. They are modular and came in pieces packed in boxes, which really helps when you have to get them down a narrow little old-house staircase. We thought we might configure them as a sectional, but are now considering keeping them separate. Chad also brought me home the rug I wanted for the den, but it's going back. It's beautiful to look at but it's very thin and scratchy and not as baby-friendly as I'd hoped. Back to the drawing board. Where else can you buy cheap but cool-looking rugs?? (It's an added bonus if you can shop online for them...)

As far as photos go this week, I am running into a wall. With winter coming and the days getting darker, it's getting harder to take photos without flash. I am not keen on my on-camera flash, so I rigged up a little contraption for it this afternoon, and I will test it out to see if it improves things. The time is here to get a Christmas photo of the dude (if you think I waited this long to have kids and was then going to send out cards without a photo, you're crazy) and I am working on that - but I want it to be a surprise when it comes in the mail, so I'm not posting it here.

So, lack of excitement + one-track-top-secret pictures = no fun posts. Sorry.
