Today Melissa and I was doing some chores around the house, while Violet played quietly in the living. When I came in to see what she was doing I snapped today’s picture of the day. She was really into her puzzles, she put them together 2 or 3 different times today.

Today we had a planned to have a family day at Wasaga Beach. Unfortunately the weather had other ideas. Shortly after setting up a thunder-storm rolled in and we were forced to head for cover at Daddy’s mom place. Thankfully the weather cleared later in the day and we were able to head back to the beach for some swimming and fun in the sand.

Today was my day at home, and that ment a trip to the pool for Jacob’s swimming lessons. Following Melissa’s advice I brought the wagon, though at different times during our walk down both kids pulled the wagon. For our picture today we have Violet trying hard to pull Jacob by herself. She was doing a good job until we hit the pothole in the school parking lot and she needed a bit of help. I was amused by the fact that on the  there they were out of the wagon more than in it. Of course that changed on the way home.

It seems that the kids and I have a new evening routeen for the nights that Melissa works during the evening. We have dinner and then go for a walk. Today it was a walk and Ride with Jacob riding his bike while Violet and I walked. Of course as soon as we passed the small local fountain we had to stop. I even gave each of them a penny to make a wish with.

Today we wrapped up Jacob’s season of T-Ball, and with it we ended the crazy summer of sports for Jacob. It’s been a lot of fun, watching as Jacob got excited to head out to T-Ball twice a week. Just as I was looking forward to having some time off from running around to different activities, Jacob was enrolled into Hockey. Plus we started looking into some fall activities for Violet, to go with her weekly dance class.

Today was a work at home day and instead of spending the day in the house a bit before lunch we headed out to our local library. I was there to pick up a book I had on hold, the kids took the opportunity to find a book for themselves.

Today while the kids were having a snack I thought it would be a good time to capture a picture of my little guy.  After a few tries, and he asserting I wasn’t going to get him smiling.

Another day another evening with the kids outside. Today they had the bikes out, and I snapped this picture of Violet as she tried to catch up with Jacob and some other kids.

Today was our last day of vacation, and with it we stopped in some malls in Buffalo.  While there Violet took a ride with the Cat-In-The-Hat.

Day two of our vacation, and a good chunk of it was spent in the pool. It seemed every time I turned around Jacob was back in the pool, or asking to go back into it.
