This afternoon the family headed out to pick up some groceries, the trip was just too much for our little girl. Who once again fell asleep in the shopping cart. This time it was full so we couldn’t let her really relax like last time (POD: Shopping cart snooze). I was also worried about bending her cute fairy wings that she insisted on where out today.  So she napped as we finished up our shopping, she was awake and her friendly self by the time we were done checking out.

Today we have a picture of Jacob and his buddy Liam. The to of them spent part of the evening playing together at our house.  It’s great that Jacob has such good friends.

Tonight we have a picture of Jacob and I as we sat on the couch watching hockey.  It was a nice way to end the evening.

Today we have a picture of Jacob snuggling up with Melissa reading a book before bed. I wanted to get them both in the picture, but neither of them sat still long enough for me to frame a good shot. Though as I reviewed the pictures I took tonight, I have to say I think this one captures the moment, even if it only has Melissa’s hand.

Today at work I found myself setting up a few of computers. Setting them up reminded me of one of the perks of my Jobs, occasionally I get to play with some cool gadgets. Of course, at the same time it’s also a draw back, because the after they are setup/fixed I don’t get to play with them anymore.

Today was Halloween, a night the kids have looked forward to for months. Dressing up and collecting candy is a great way to spend an evening. We were out for a couple of hours and by the end Violet was unable to manage the walk between houses. At the end even Jacob was ready to call it a night and head home to enjoy some of the candy.

This evening after getting ready for bed Jacob and I sat down for some PS3 gaming. Not wanting to send him to be with images of Modern Warfare we just played a few levels of Little Big Planet. It’s amazing to see how much better he’s getting with the controller. As I write this and think about different games we might play, I realise that I have the perfect game to play with him next time. Portal 2, has multi-player and plays like a First Person shooter without the killer. Now that we have 2 controls I think we’ll play that next.

 Today Violet’s Ballet class allowed the parents in for the last 10 minutes of class to see a little of what they have been doing these last few weeks. She was very excited to show Mommy and Daddy. It was great to see how much fun she has in her class. In November we’ll be able to watch a full class, that should be fun.

Violet and Melissa headed out to Toys’r’us today to pick up a few things. While there Violet found herself a little horse to ride. It it wasn’t so big I think she might have found it under the tree Christmas morning.

Tomorrow is picture day at Jacob’s school, so today we have a picture of Jacob in the chair at the local hair salon. I like the effect of the blurry hair dresser. It’s like she’s moving so fast I couldn’t capture her.
