Today while waiting for Jacob’s school day to end, Violet played in on a snow pile in the school yard. Apparently that’s her snow fort.

Today the kids headed to the MasterCard Centre for Hockey Excellence. Jacob for Hockey skills, Violet for the next level of skating. I tried to get a good picture of them, but it was the end of the day and my phone was running out of power.  So I took what I got and put together a collage. I have to say it’s been a while since I’ve watched the kids skate, and I’m impressed how much better they are getting.

Today when I checked the mail I was greeted with a little package, Violet’s birthday day shirt had arrived. So what better picture of the day then a picture of it and the colourful necklace that goes with it. Violet was really excited to see her shirt. Almost kept her from thinking about show and tell at pre-school tomorrow.

Today after school my mom once again took the kids out into the snow. Today instead of just playing on a mountain of snow they built a snowman. Something they have wanted to do since last winter. They were so excited when I got home that all they could talk about was their day building a snowman.

Today Jacob headed back to school, and with school comes homework. So while Jacob was working on his spelling sentences I snapped a few pictures and put together today’s POD Collage.

This morning my son say yesterday picture of the day and that it was silly. His exact words were Dad your crazy, but what he meant was that’s a silly thing to use for your picture of the day. So today I thought why not use a picture of him putting away his Skylanders. I wonder if he’ll think this picture is ‘crazy’.

In a weird twist of fate I found myself heading to the library to pick up a real book today. So I brought the kids along to return one of their books and see if there were any books they might like to borrow.  The kids love visiting the library and wont leave without picking a book or three. I loved watching Violet trying to read to a little girl. She was a little two and a half-year old who loves being read too, so she sat and listened to every book Violet ‘Read’. Today’s picture captures a moment near the end of our visit. Jacob’s reading the Justice League comic he picked and Violet is having her turn on the computer.

We’re still searching for a way to keep Violet from having early evening naps. Till we do I find myself spending evening hanging out with her, looking for games to play. Today was her Hello Kitty Figurines and Playmat.

For weeks my kids have talked about our New Years Eve party. I had hopped they both would take a bit of a nap during the day so they could be up when the clock struck 12, but they didn’t. Violet passed out around 8 but woke up again just after 10 so she’s ready to party. Jacob held out as long as he could, but just after 10 he passed out. Now as Midnight approaches I think I’ll try to wake him.

Happy New Year

The kids love the snow, so today while we were having a lazy afternoon in the house they asked if they could take their new shovels out to have some fun in the playground. It amazed me how much they wanted to get out their. Each managed to get into there winter gear with only a little help from me and before I knew it they were out there playing away. They played out there close to an hour and never complained about the cold, though I think that’s what finally ended the fun in the snow.
