Today the city looks ready for christmas. It started to snow in the morning and didn’t stop till after the kids were home from school. I captured todays picture of the day during the walk home from school. Instead of heading straight home, the kids played in the snow with some of their friends from school for a little while. Of course that wasn’t enough for Violet who spent hours in the snow near our house playing and shoveling,
Today we have a picture from Violet’s poem book, that she’s working on with her Nan. They write the poem together and then Violet draws a picture.
Today we have some of Violets Kindergarten art for our picture of the day. Considering how much she does, not everything is POD worthy. This is one I really like.
Today we headed to Shereway Mall with some of our friends so that the kids could go to the Santa Experience. I love this picture of Jacob and Violet with Santa. I think it’s one of the best we’ve ever gotten.
Today was the Lakeshore Santa Clause Parade. I didn’t think we’d actually see it today, but the kids really wanted to so when went an walked along the parade route. Parades are much faster when you walk towards the beginning. Today’s Picture of the day is of the kids getting candy cans from a parade elf.
Tonight I came home to find that Jacob had eaten at his Nan’s house but Violet had slept through dinner. So after pondering what to make for the two of us, I fired up the barbecue and through on some Hotdogs for her and a couple burgers for me. My goal this winter is to barbeque at least once a month, part of me would like to try for once a week.
Today we setup Melissa’s old laptop on Jacob’s new desk to give him a real computer in his room. He was so excited to have a computer in there that he can play MineCraft on.
The month is over, my mad dash to 50,000 words came up short. Very short. I didn’t even manage to write 15,000 words this year, and that’s including my background and world building work in my word count. Still as I sit here and look back at the month I feel like it’s been a success. I found a new world I want to explore with stories. My son wrote over 1000 words of his own novel and seemed to really enjoy the process. So I thought that I would take some time on this the first of December and write about my experiences during NaNoWriMo
Today during the kids hockey the Marlies interrupted play to skate from their dressing room to the other end of the ice so they could go practice on the Maple Leafs practice rink. Today’s picture is from when they returned. Jacob’s line was on the ice at the time and it was cool to see the players high-fiving the little guys.
Sunday is the first Advent so our little Violet came home from school with this lovely Advent candle.
