The Serroul clan is back in their beds after a wonderful Christmas in Cape Breton.  We’ve unpacked and undecorated and are starting 2011 off right with early bedtimes for everyone (the dog has basically been asleep since we got home!)

Let’s see what the new year brings!

So I was trying to figure out what to write about and I came up with nothing.  Things are rolling along here.  The girls are getting pretty excited about Halloween.  They have 6 parties between them so they ought to be pretty hopped on sugar by Sunday night.  We will be sure to post a few pics of them in their ghouly finest.  Rilla’s birthday is coming up pretty quickly.  We think we have her convinced to go to Crystal palace instead of having a party.  That should be fun! 

Far too filled with turkey to blog…  Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

So for the first time in a long time, we’re spending thanksgiving in Cape Breton.  I’m actually writing this post as we tackle the Truro-New Glasgow portion of the Trans Canada.  Since it is the thing to do this time of year, I thought I’d share what we Serrouls are thankful for.  Bronwyn says she’s thankful for her parents so we can’t be doing that bad a job.  Rilla says she’s thankful for her toys and her family and her friends.  It’s good to know where we rank with her.  John says he’s thankful for home.  When prompted for clarity, he said he’s thankful for everything that entails.  I can understand that.  As for me, I’m thankful for the Conservative Party of Canada.  Without their ridiculous cost cutting policies, this wonderful family occasion just wouldn’t be possible.

My friends and family probably won’t relate to this post.  This is really written for those of you reading this in from an urban area.  If you are on the bus and it’s crowded, don’t be an arse!  Is there anything more rude than someone who doesn’t move over when people are standing on the aisles?  Unless you bought two bus passes, you don’t get to have two seats.  Suck it up, move over and stop being such a jerk.
