Today Jacob announced. To his substitute teach that he had Chicken Pox. This of course isn’t TRUE, if he had them we’d never have sent him to school. What he does have 2 spider bites (not the first time he’s had them, the first time was in the summer and we freaked out about them). Today before school Melissa was talking on the phone with a friend talking about the kids in Jacob’s school who does have Chicken Pox. I guess kit goes to show you that little ears are always listening.
What I don’t understand is that when Melissa picked him up the teacher pulled her inside and said, Jacob said he had chicken pox, and that he was sent to the office and they believed it to be Chicken pox. Melissa assured them they weren’t but if it were or if they thought they were shouldn’t they have sent him home?
Today Jacob decided that he did remember the song he’s doing for the Christmas Concert at school and Melissa (the best wife and mother ever) got it on tape. It’s moments like these that makes me really glade that we always have cameras with us.
Today we had our first snow fall, and with it we released Jacob didn’t have boots. So it was off to the stores this morning to find him a new pair. Thankfully my Mom was around and able to stay with Violet so that Melissa didn’t have to take both kids out for the impromptu shopping trip in the snow.
Tonight we have a picture of Violet enjoying some Ice cream. There is something about watching her joy as she eats her frozen treat that warms my heart. I have some bonus pictures to share, but due to technical difficulties they will have to wait. Perhaps tomorrow I’ll so an seperate post with them.
Today I stopped at The Toy Space, in a little toy store at Bathurst and King. I didn’t go there to buy anything, I was just looking to see what they had, we’re pretty much done with toy shopping this year, but it might be nice if I could find Jacob a battery-powered train that would fit on his train set. While there I saw this doll house, the daddy in me wanted to get it for my little girl. Of course reason kicked in, and I didn’t even ask about the price, still I thought it’d make a good picture of the day.
Today we pulled out the first of our Christmas decorations. Our family advent calendar. Each night we put a candies or toys into the pocket for the kids to find. It’ll be interesting to see how well Jacob shares over the coming weeks. The rest of the decorations should go up this weekend, I’m sure a future project 365 will be of our decorated home, so stay tuned.
The other day I was looking at my old blog Evolving Dad, which isn’t online anymore. While looking over some of my old posts I came across this video. It was a sweet moment, one that I’m really glad I captured. With Violet turning to in just under 2 months I thought I’d share share it again.
Today in an effort to introduce Jacob to Star Wars I gave him a Darth Vader Pez dispenser. I’m not sure if he’s more interested in Star Wars now or not, what I do know is he linked the candy. I’m hoping to find the time in the next couple of days to watch some of the movies with him. Though I’m not sure how interested he’ll be.
This weekend Melissa’s mom braved the weather and crowds to try to capture some Black Friday Deals. From her reports it was a bit of a mad house, with lines stretching as far as their eyes could see. The good news is they made it back in one piece and they found many great deals. Most of the deals was for themselves, but they did pick up a few items we haven’t been able to find or were too expensive to get here. One of them is our picture of the day. It’s a pillow pet, the cute little guy will be Violet’s first pillow, and all around cuddly friend. I think it’ll look very cute on her toddler bed, whenever we come to terms with the fact that my baby girl is moving out of her crib.
