Today I’m going to cheat a little with my picture of the day. Today I didn’t capture any moment that was important to my life or the life of my family. What I did capture is the newly erected crane at a building site near my work. I’d tried to get a picture of it building itself the other day, but it didn’t work out.

On a resent trip to the Lego store Melissa picked up a few key chains, a Batman for Jacob, a Wonder Women for Violet and a Gandalf the Grey for me.

Today I headed out with Papa to pick up Jacob’s new loft bed. I captured today’s picture of the day while the loaded up the Van with the 5 boxes that make up the bed. Jacob is so excited to be getting his new bed, I can’t say I’m looking forward to building it.

Today the kids headed out with their Nan, to church and then for a picnic in the park and a trip to the rebuilt castle playground. It’s the first time the kids have been to the Castle Playground since it was rebuilt after the fire in the spring. While there Nan took some pictures, that I’ve put together in a collage for today’s picture of the day.

Today I found myself in a book-store with in Jacob looking at books. He was interested at the books, reading the backs of a few of them trying to find something to read. His favourite was ‘The Amazing Spider-Man Story Book collection. Perhaps it will have to find its way under the tree in December.

Today our family headed to Jacob’s school for Meet the teacher night and a welcome to a new school year BBQ. It was nice to meet his teach and see where he’s spending his days. So far this year is going pretty good for Jacob. Violet really seemed to like sitting at Jacob’s desk.

Today Violet stared Pre-school, and she was so excited. From 8am on she wanted to head to school She didn’t want to be late. When we got there she walked right in, hung up her coat and went to play with the other kids. Her teach told my Mom when she went to pick her up afterwards that it was like she was always in the class. I’m so glad we’ve enrolled her in this year of pre-school. Another year would have been a long time for my precious little Violet to wait before starting school.

Grade 1 has brought weekly spelling for Jacob. It seems each Monday the teacher will five Jacob a list of words that he has to use in sentences. Each day he’s supposed to review the words so that on Friday he’s ready for the weekly spelling test. Today he brought home his second list of words and sentences. So after dinner he sat down with Mom and reviewed the words and did a practice test. He knows the words, but he’s going to work on them each night to help with his printing. Also to help him get used to studying for when the words get harder.
