Its the most wonderful time of the yearrrrrr!! (35)

Here you have to be 5 to go to kindergarden. At age 4 they go once a week for a few hours a few months in the spring time to just get them used to a school environnement.

Yes that too lol

Here you have to have your 4th birthday before dec 31.

I know what you mean here my son started he was only 4 cried because he was still just a baby but he did very well so let him go and have fun he will like it also. He is now in 1st grade and could not wait to go also this year up before 6 and came to get me all dress and told me he had done his lunch and all so I think he could not wait to go back LOL

Damn, I read the title and thought Hockey season was starting early

Lol .... you must have had a tough time when they had the hockey strike going on!!! Do you book your holidays around the Stanley Cup ??

My last boyfriend was a football/sports (betting) fanatic ... he actually booked his holidays to make sure that he always was off for the Superbowl. It was sports 24/7 on the computer/on the radio, in the car and even in the shower he had a radio and almost every conversation.

I was a sports lover before I met him .... but somehow the novelty of watching a game/sport was dampened after that experience. Amazing how overkill can drain the enthusiam, although I do admit that its finally coming back.


As for the kids back in school .... I totally understand that feeling .... although it was stressful in the mornings at first .... trying to get them back on schedule and drag them outta bed in the mornings.

The strike wasn't as bad for me as a lot of people. Being in London, ON I had the Knights to carry me through that black black year. The Knights had a CHL record breaking year, won the Memorial Cup, and we got to watch a lot of high ranked NHL prospects and draftees play.

As for holidays, I book them around the kids. The playoffs are night games so all that's needed is to gather all the TV's up into one room until Lord Stanley finds a new home

I hate that school has started... But thats because i run a hockey school and now i cant make money during the day. LOL

But, however... on the positve side.. I have more time for a certainly lady from here who shall remain nameless...lol

All the tv's in one room?? lol surround sound and almost being live at the game for sure... just watch out for the popcorn fights after too much beer consumption!!

Well it sounds like the Knights actually provided an exciting season for you to experience .... sometimes its interesting to watch the players develop their skills and usually those young guys have alot more energy as well.

It's really not surround sound lol. 1 television per simultaeneous Canadian game. As the Canadian teams get knocked out the number of televisions go down lol

I'm usually too busy telling the officials how blind they are to eat or drink much so no big beer or popcorn fiascos :)
