The other day I asked Jacob to put down his electronics and write me something, and after his first attempt which was just the word ‘something’ he wrote this.

Sunday was Violet’s 3 playoff game, so I had to use the picture from her game for my POD. The Blue Blades are now 2-1, I’m not sure what the rest of the teams are, but I think they have a good shot of making the finals.

Yesterday was what I though was Jacob’s first playoff game. Turns out it was the last game of the regular season.  His team won and he played on of his best games of the season. Right after this picture was taken his team scored the winning goal. The puck came right past Jacob into the net, and while he tried to get his stick on it, he insists he did. Though I’ll wait to see the official stats, I like to think he scored

Tonight at Taekwondo Violet completed her pattern and got her fourth strip. That means in 2 weeks she can test for her Yellow belt. OF

Saturday morning we arrived at the rink, and found Jacob’s was down a few players and no one was ready to play goalie. So Jacob Volunteered. I’m so proud of how hard he tried.

Today we have a picture of Jacob working on his PSA for his media literacy project. He worked really hard on it, first coming up with the idea for his Kids help phone poster and then doing all the work. I’m so proud of him.

After our father daughter hockey game Sunday I thought it would be fun to share a picture of Violet modeling her new Furies Hoodie.

To Violet and I headed down to the MasterCard Centre to watch the last home game of the Toronto Furry. Violet was really excited to see Natalie Spooner play. She ware’s her number 24 on her DS team and was so sad that we were not able to get her autograph. The game was great, the Furries managing to tie it in the final few minutes to force overtime. Unfortunately they lost in overtime, but Violet loved the game, and I think we’ll be watching a lot more Furry games in the years to come.

Another day another teacher interview. Today we have some art work from Violet’s weekend jurnal. She wrote about last weekend when I took her to Tim Hortons after her hockey game last week, and she had a Muffin and a Hot Chocolate. Rolling up the Rim really stuck with her. Even thought we both got Try Again.

With parent teacher interviews over the last couple of days I got see see some of the art work at the school. So for today’s picture of the day I have a piece Jacob did.  They were supposed to use a single colour and experiment with shading. I think he did a good job.
