Today Jacob spent the day with his nana and papa visiting his uncle Jimmy. While mommy work Violet and I headed to the park to play. She had a lot of fun climbing and swinging and building piles of wood chips”.

Today after swimming the family head out for dinner. Melissa snapped this picture while we were waiting to order. It seems our little angel was tired after a long day. Well actually she was just playing because she didn’t want mommy to take her picture. But I thought it made a cute picture.

The last couple of Days Jacob has taken to climbing on to a cement block in the playground near our house. So today Melissa took out the good camera and captured Jacob doing the climb.

It seems our little guy isn’t feeling to well. After a great day at school, where he went on his first field trip, he came home and crashed. Of course it’s now midnight and he’s awake, though I’m not sure for how long.

Today after Jacob’s Blastball game, Kara and Liam joined us as we headed out to pick up a few things treats for the boys field trip lunches. Violet was all about taking the wagon, we pulled it out and before we knew it Liam wanted to pull it. It was so cute I couldn’t resist taking a picture.

Today was a holiday, and though it did include enjoying BBQing and enjoying the warm weather with kids. It also included a number of loads of laundry. It was a nice day but would have been better if Melissa didn’t have to work and we could have spent it on a family picnic.

Today Jacob and I headed down to the Rogers Centre to watch some baseball. Jacob was excited about being at a game, though I’m not sure if it was the Baseball or the snacks that excited him more. We were there with some of his Blastball teammates and it was great fun. The game featured 3 home runs (2 by Jose Bautista). All of which ended up in the seats to sections away from us. Our seats were behind the Blue Jay Bullpen so we had a great view of the relief pitchers warming up, Jacob even snagged a ball after Jason Frasor finished warming up. Both Jacob and I are looking forward to our next game later in the summer.

Since around Easter Jacob has been collecting change so he can get himself some more Playmobils. Today he sat down to count it. First he separated it by type of coin, then he counted each and wrote it down. Finally we worked out how much it worked out to. His total surprised me. With his 67 Pennies, 15 nickles, 35 dimes 10 quarters and 1 loony he’s got over $10 in his little hoard. As he went off to bed he was quite excited thinking about what he could by with it.

Today at Jacob’s picture day for his Blastball League we picked up Tickets for Saturday’s Jays game.   When I showed Jacob he got very excited and wanted to hold his ticket. I’m really looking forward to an afternoon of baseball with my boy.

Today we picked up Jacob’s T-Ball uniforms. Though the games don’t start for another couple of weeks. It’s great that it’s going to be a summer of T-Ball for my little man.
