Between the location of the ctrl key, SEO, a cold, Anthony being away and the boys bugging to get to the beach I am about to explode.(again) #
Seeing beautiful pictures of somewhere I would love to be is not helping at all. 🙁 Being a shouty Mum is making me crazy too. #badday #
So which beach will make me feel less crazy? Is all the parking already gone? #
Warm potato salad FTW. Boiled new nugget poatatoes, minced bacon cooked with minced onion and then deglazed with some red wine. #YUM #
Zip line. @ Douglas Park Community Centre http://t.co/TXrL56FO #
Can you tell someone didn't have a nap today? http://t.co/UyFe7bVy #
Two days in a row. Sleep patterns are a little off right now. http://t.co/Gqlhiqla #
Almost as good as @carouseltheatre's version. Share it Maybe http://t.co/xA1Qo92J #

Love mine! MT @blendcreations: Making some twitter necklaces today http://t.co/vB8Tz00u it's conference season! 10% off w promo code "Tweet" #
Reading in the summer shade while waiting for the boys to finish day camp. @ Douglas Park http://t.co/3XsD9PoR #
This morning on the way to camp Aidan says to me "Mommy, 1sq + 2sq + 100sq is 10,005." I guess squaring numbers in the hospital stuck w/him. #
Sigh. Five minutes of sleep and then a nightmare make a difficult journey back to sleep for a little boy. Here's hoping this one will take. #
Anyone up to meeting the boys and I at Douglas Park for a picnic and concert? We are here until after the concert finishes at 7:30. #
Bubble blower and catcher. @ Douglas Park http://t.co/AoW9DznK #
Boy number 1 is still not asleep. I am not sure what this means for daycamp in the morning. #missedthewindow #
Quinlan just made a card for 1 of the highschool volunteers at his daycamp. He's talked about her nonstop all week. #firstcrush #
My nap companion. http://t.co/Tvi4K7ak #
Long week just ended with 1 brother biting another after recently being in time out for sticking a popsicle stick in the mythbox. BIG Sigh #
Love that he needed his towel with him. #towel #yvr #hitchhikersguide http://t.co/ZC2xjVd7 #

Happy Canada Day! We are all still in pajamas and sounds of lego Starwars are emanating from upstairs. #weneededabreak #
Plans for a cold and supposed to be rainy July day? Join me and the boys at Hilcrest pool this morning? They need wearing out. 🙂 #
Who needs school this week? Not Aidan. He has already spent an hour playing with circuits and is now working http://t.co/noY2bo3k #
Having the bbq run out of propane really makes dinner cooking a little tricky, especially when it happens mid way through. #
Reading before bed. http://t.co/SDVnpqaj #
Quote of the morning,"I even think of cars as alive because I can always see how they are feeling." @aidanfloyd age 7 #
Sitting in the coal car. http://t.co/YVcA8pH5 #
So holy shit wedding cards are expensive. We should have made a card and gave the couple the money. #
Just registered the boys for fall theatre school @carouseltheatre. Yay! #
Aidan's new school year keeps looking better and better. 🙂 #
Just had the boys take part in the easiest study ever. Something to do while waiting for the dr. #
Waiting for a bus home. @ Talmud Torah http://t.co/LSahURO3 #
Both boys in time out for fighting. We may not get to the bike shop afterall. Sigh. We need a backyard I can throw them in so I can work. #
Me too! RT @AnthonyFloyd: Man, I’d love to see this RT @WiredGeekDad: Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Radio Show Live http://t.co/1b2NJm1h #
Granville island picnic in the sun, finally. @ Triangle Square – Granville Island http://t.co/fIfJvqNS #
Firehose time at the water park. @ False Creek Community Centre http://t.co/RTbEmZ4K #
Quinlan in tears because he is too small to go on the waterside by himself. @ False Creek Community Centre http://t.co/Cy9khO1G #
Now I understand why all the adults in bathing suits at Granville island waterpark. The littles need someone to go down the glide with them. #
Anyone else heading to @cbcvancouver tomorrow for the #musicalnooners The boys and I will be there. #
Strike while the weather is hot, well warm enough. http://t.co/aIEywVuq #
Since the bbq is out of propane I decided to make bacon wrapped steak in the oven. I hope the smoke alarm does not go off. #fainthope #
Thanks to @netflix_ca my boys have discovered Sponge Bob Square Pants. I am not sure this is a good thing. #
Not a peep from the boys who were up early to take @anthonyfloyd to the airport & had no naps today & lots of time at the water park. #yay #
Sleep. Yes, that is what I need. Praying for boys who sleep in till 8. I'll take 7. #whilethemorningpersonisaway #
Not so happy, but calm. http://t.co/HcYTpzwJ #
Loved the #musicalnooners @CBCVancouver The boys danced the day away. 🙂 #
When we were getting off the bus near @cbcvancouver, Quinlan pipes up "this is the most famous BC place in the world." #musicalnooners #
if my youngest doesn't stop with the whistle soon I may have to break it. #
Thanks to @cbcstephenquinn Aidan's singing/saying in diff voices "I just met you, & this is crazy, so here's my number, call me maybe." #OTC #
Love them! MT @CarouselTheatre: One of our 4 Ariels wanted to make sure you saw her firey nails. #TSPTempest http://t.co/j4uiMw4W #
Watching Say Yes to the Dress while Andromeda waits for @AnthonyFloyd and Dianthe hides from me. At least the boys are asleep. #Fridaynite #
Cleaning soundtrack for this morning: Two Door Cinema and Florence and the Machine. Lots of bum shaking as we clean. #cardio #danceparty #
Managed cleaning up the main floor, medicating the cat & getting showered all before 11am. Not bad for a girl who didn't want to get up. #
Playing in the sprinkler @tjrossignol 's house. http://t.co/UUcjvLDB #
Boys eating strawberry shortcake. #yvr #summer http://t.co/xsd3DOwR #
Thanks @tjrossignol for having the boys and me over this afternoon. The boys are suitably worn out. #
I think the boys are asleep. Time to put my cold to bed, after I fold the mountain of laundry on my bed. Or I could just move it. Hmm . . . #
Time for a cut and colour. 🙂 http://t.co/edH8xrYW #
Not quite where he is supposed to be. At least he is in bed. http://t.co/6XSfTXP6 #

Aidan and Quinlan Interview Will Stroet

Posted on July 4, 2012 by Gwen

While I was blogging about the Vancouver International Children’s Festival this year I had the opportunity to meet Will Stroet and his lovely wife/manager Kim. During our conversation we decided it would be a good idea for Aidan to interview Will about his career, especially since Will has a close connection to Aidan’s french immersion school Lord Tennyson. We finally were able to meet up with Will last Friday and we had a chance to have Aidan and Quinlan ask Will some questions and sing their favourite song “Le Jam.”

Without further adieu, Aidan and Quinlan interviewing Will Stroet.

Please check out Will’s website for links to his music and a list of performances.
