Olympic Fever

February 13, 2010

When Nathan came home and spontaneously told me all the names of the Vancouver 2010 mascots, I was shocked. How did he know? But then I remember what a sponge he is and that school has probably been talking about it, at least a little.

Anyway, last night, he sat patiently through the entire opening ceremony, waiting to see the mascots, but they never came on! It was a little heartbreaking.

And though I wasn't as impressed or thoroughly moved by the ceremony as I had anticipated, it did remind me of all the things I love about the Olympics. So, to celebrate my Canadian pride and love for the Olympics, I informed Andrew it was time to go shopping. No more of his indifference for the Olympics. I was determined to convert him.

Remember when he laughed at me when I told him I wanted a Quatchi?

Well that came back and kicked him in the butt because look what we came home with today:


Crazy? Maybe a little. But Nathan loves them, and so do I.

GO CANADA GO!
