Today Jacob came home with his Grad hoodie. I know the colour wasn’t his first choice, but boy did he want to get his hands on it. I can’t believe that he’s almost a highschooler.

Today while in Indigo / Chapters I saw this large bunny, it’s a big version of Violet’s Fufu which she has had since her first Easter. Doesn’t it look sad? I think it’s because it’s for display only and won’t know the joy of bringing a child joy,

Another sign that my little girl isn’t so little anymore. I captured this picture as she and a friend rode the TTC home.

Today my baby girl turned 11. I can’t believe how quickly time has flown by.

Today we took a break from hockey to Celebrate Violet’s birthday with friends and family. Well wasn’t much of a break, we raced from a hockey game to get to the party on time. We made it and a good time was had by all. Of course, the real hero of the party was Melissa for putting together such a wonderful celebration.

When I sat down with Jacob to play his new board game Monopoly Gamer, I expected a regular game of Monopoly with some Mario themed figures and locations. I was wrong. Sure there are properties you buy, but they’re only 2 in a set and you can’t buy houses or hotels. The money is Coins when you pass go you collect 2 coins, not 200 dollars. The dice are a regular 6 sider and a power-up six sider, so while the board is smaller it seems to take longer to go around it. What I’m trying to say is that it felt different than other monopoly games I’ve played, even more than the round Cars Monopoly Jacob got when he was younger. As someone who is kinda bored of the traditional Monopoly, it was a fun and refreshing change, and I can’t wait to play it with the entire family

Today we have a picture of Nan, aka my mom. I enjoyed a cup of coffee with her at a local bakery this morning and captured this picture as I headed off.

Wednesday has been Jacob’s music lesson night for over a year now, but today is the first since he got his own keyboard. So I thought I’d share a picture his keyboard for my picture of the day.

To celebrate the new year and to forger the winter thar hasnt quite started, it was off to the indoor water park today.

Tonight we have a silly picture. It seems Melissa was going through our sports equipment closet and found an hold hockey back. With Violet’s current bag having a broken zipper this could come in handy for any summer hockey camps. I think Violet likes it too.
