Today the kids headed back to school. Violet enters the first grade and Jacob moves on to the fourth. Time seems to be flying by for my little ones. The best news of the day was that Violet is in a 1/2 split, instead of the SK/1 we feared all summer.

Today was the last day of the summer. It has been a great summer with lots of fun activities. It do was a bit more laid back, with our little family having a relaxing day wrapping up the last things we needed to do before school starts tomorrow. Of course we found some time to enjoy the warm weather, with a trip to a park where I captured today’s picture of the day.

Today we headed down to the CNE for a day of family fun. It was hot and crowded but the kids seemed to enjoy the day. I didn’t manage t try the Spagetti and Meatball burger, but did have the Thanksgiving waffle.

Last week I shared a picture of Jacobs back to school shoes. Tonight I thought I’d share Violet’s..

Today Violet hit the ice for her first day of hockey school, in preparation for the coming hockey season. I can’t believe the summer is over and we’re back to hockey. Still it was amazing to see how well Violet was skating today. I think this is going to be her year for hockey.

Today was Violet’s last Soccer game of the summer. I captured today’s picture of the day before the game as the kids played.

Today I took Jacob and one of his school friends for a day of fun at Canada’s Wonderland. Most of the day was spent at the water park, but with Jacob measuring above 54 inches we had to make a stop at the DropZone a ride he’s wanted to go on all summer, but had never been quite tall enough.

Today the kids and I headed to the master centre for some skating. I have to say the cold if the arena was quite nice on this hot summer day.

Today we headed out to get the kids new shoes for the coming school year. After some effort we managed to get a pair for each of them. Tonight though I share a little collage I put together of Jacob Tieing the laces of his new shows. Perhaps tomorrow I’ll share a picture of Violet’s new shoes.

Tonight we have a picture of an excited Jacob looking over his new Pokémon box.
