Today we have a 4 pack of pictures of Jacob that Melissa took while out with the kids before Violets first ballet class of the new season. I wanted to use a picture of my little dancer, but tonight she insisted on no pictures. So Jacob will have to stand in.

It seems that anything white needs to be coloured by our little artist Violet. This is her bunny that her god father gave her when she was just a wee thing. So it was a bit of a surprise when Violet brought it down showing off the smiley face she drew on it. Of course I’m pretty sure it’s washable marker she used, but I’m not sure I want to see if it would come off in the wash.

Today Jacob and his Nan went on a little adventure. Jacob was thrilled to have his face painted like a Power Ranger. It’s an amazing job all they had to go from was Jacob Power Ranger Key.

It’s been a crazy week so much so that I realize that I haven’t shared a picture of Violet’s Baseball Trophy and her Team Picture.

Today a new school year started, the kids headed out the door both excited and nervous.  Jacob wasn’t sure if his best friend would be in his class again this year. And Violet is facing school with a broken collar-bone and shoulder.  By the time the bell rang they were both off with their friends excited to be starting a new year. Jacob is once again in a split class, this year it’s a 3/4 split with lots of his friends including his best friend Daniel. Violet was thrilled to see all her friends from last year, but also a little boy from her last summer camp.  Since I already know that this picture of the two of them before school will be today’s picture of the day, why wait till tonight to post.

 

Today we celebrated the end of Summer with some friends. While there I captured these pictures of little night climbing up the bunk bed.

Every morning Melissa or I get up early to walk Ruby, usually we find Jacob already awake entertaining himself. This morning I came down to walk ruby and found Jacob taking her out of the door for her morning bathroom break. He insisted on doing it himself, evening picking up the poo. The only problem he had, was when Ruby saw me and wanted to run to me.

Today the kids headed on an adventure with Nan. They started the adventure at a local library where I captured the pictures I used for today’s picture of the day collage. It amazing how hard Violet tries to act as if nothing is wrong,  even though she has to be in a lot of pain.

 

This evening we find ourselves at the St. Joes ER, waiting to see how serious Violet is injured. She has hurt her shoulder, we are hoping its not broken, but we’ll have to wait to see what the docotor and/or XRays say before we know for sure.

While I was waiting for my busthis mooning I noticed somebody watching me from our yard.I tried to cature it but I was petty far away. Still it was a cute moment that seemed perfect for my picture of the day.
