This evening we left the kids with their uncle Jimmy and headed to Toys’r’us and the mall to see if we could wrap up there Christmas presents. We want to limit our trips to the mall in December. We had a successful time, picked up the last of the big things for the kids, all that’s left are some stocking stuffers. While walking through the mall I saw the empty Santa Experience area. It’s a real shame that we didn’t get tickets for the kids this year, I think they both really would have liked it. Though I must say, without the kids and the big man, it seems pretty barren. We’ll probably hit another mall to do the pictures with Santa, I’m wondering how Violet and Jacob will react when it’s their turn to sit on his lap.
Today was my day to work from home, so this morning after the breakfast dishes were in the sink, I pulled out the paper and crayons and let the kids colour. It was quite fun to see. I think next week I’ll pull out the activity books. It’s nice to have some time with the kids doing creative things.
Last night Melissa posted a question on Facebook, she was wanting theme ideas for Violets second birthday. I know its been on her mind for a while, but with today marking Violets 22 month she was eager to figure it out. Well its been decided and she her inspiration was todays picture.
Can you Guess the theme from what inspired it?
Today’s picture is a little blurry, but it was such a cute moment I just had to use it. We were heading out to chapters to look at some books, and Jacob decided to give his little sister a hug. I’m just glad we caught the moment.
Tonight was our first Parent Teacher interview. It seems weird to be sitting there with the teacher. Listening to talk about our boy, about the progress he’s made in the few short weeks he’s been going to school. It wasn’t as big a moment as sitting in his future classroom, meeting the teacher who would be his first teacher. Though it was still an important moment, a moment I am glad I was able to share with Melissa. I know that there will be future interviews were only one of us will be able to attend, I’m glad that today was one were both were at. The interview went well, Jacob is doing excellent at school. His love for numbers and letters is flourishing in the class room and so is his reading and comprehension. I’m a very proud father. Today is a day to celebrate his successes.
Our picture is of Jacob’s letter to Santa, the entire class did them, seeing the different things he’ wants was interesting. Though I’m not sure where we would put the bouncy house.

This morning our little boy did the sweetest thing, Melissa and I were laying in bed and he brought her this note. It’s amazing how well he wrote it. Except for his ‘U’ and ‘V’ looking a like it’s as good as mine. I guess his fascination with letters and words is starting to pay off. It was a sweet moment and a great way to start the day.
Today we bad a trip to Toys’r’us to pickup some things for christmas. While paying Violet say the claw game and rushed over to give it a try. I felt bad that I didn’t have any loonies to let her play for real.
Today while out and about we stopped in one of Jacob’s favourite stores. Though it’s not the store that he likes it’s the stack of keyboards that he can play. Even Violet got into the act, unfortunately I was unable to get a picture of that.
Today the family did some shopping, while out we had some Pizza for dinner. Of course to our little Violet it’s Pibba, and it’s one of her favourite foods. I like it because she’s so adorable saying Pibba.

Today Jacob had a visit to the dentist. For a cleaning and a general check-up. The visit started out pretty good, but after a few minutes he’d had enough of the cleaning. Of course when the Dentist came in to look over his mouth he sat with his mouth open wide, no complaints. This amused the hygienist.
