Today Jacob headed back to school, and with school comes homework. So while Jacob was working on his spelling sentences I snapped a few pictures and put together today’s POD Collage.

This morning my son say yesterday picture of the day and that it was silly. His exact words were Dad your crazy, but what he meant was that’s a silly thing to use for your picture of the day. So today I thought why not use a picture of him putting away his Skylanders. I wonder if he’ll think this picture is ‘crazy’.

In a weird twist of fate I found myself heading to the library to pick up a real book today. So I brought the kids along to return one of their books and see if there were any books they might like to borrow.  The kids love visiting the library and wont leave without picking a book or three. I loved watching Violet trying to read to a little girl. She was a little two and a half-year old who loves being read too, so she sat and listened to every book Violet ‘Read’. Today’s picture captures a moment near the end of our visit. Jacob’s reading the Justice League comic he picked and Violet is having her turn on the computer.

We’re still searching for a way to keep Violet from having early evening naps. Till we do I find myself spending evening hanging out with her, looking for games to play. Today was her Hello Kitty Figurines and Playmat.

For weeks my kids have talked about our New Years Eve party. I had hopped they both would take a bit of a nap during the day so they could be up when the clock struck 12, but they didn’t. Violet passed out around 8 but woke up again just after 10 so she’s ready to party. Jacob held out as long as he could, but just after 10 he passed out. Now as Midnight approaches I think I’ll try to wake him.

Happy New Year

The kids love the snow, so today while we were having a lazy afternoon in the house they asked if they could take their new shovels out to have some fun in the playground. It amazed me how much they wanted to get out their. Each managed to get into there winter gear with only a little help from me and before I knew it they were out there playing away. They played out there close to an hour and never complained about the cold, though I think that’s what finally ended the fun in the snow.

The other day Melissa found a contest on The Facebook for four free tickets to Phineas and Ferb Live on stage at Copps Coliseum. All you had to do was share a photo, so I shared it and won. So this morning our family headed out in a bit of a snow storm to Hamilton. The kids loved the show. I’m so glad we won the tickets.

Last night Melissa’s co-worker who has connections in the film industry asked her if Jacob wanted to be in a movie.  After discussing it between our selves we thought it might be a fun experience for Jacob. So Jacob spent the morning running around the Great Hall of Union station being filmed for a movie. What was going to be a single location ballooned into 3, with us going to the ROM and China Town for shots. He really enjoyed the day of filming and is really looking forward to seeing it when it’s done.

Last night we had a bit of s a snow fall in Toronto, and this morning we woke to a winter wonderland outside. So we bundled up and headed out for some fun in the snow.

Well it seems we just missed having a true white Christmas. Sure Christmas Eve we got a light dusting of snow, so when we looked out in the morning there was a light blanket of snow, but it wasn’t really a white Christmas. Today the snow has come. It’ll be interesting to see how much falls and if there will be enough for the kids to make a snowman tomorrow.
