Today we braved Toys’r’us to return a toy and see if they had restocked any of the sale items that weren’t in stock last night. It was a bit of a mad house, and it’ll only get worse. I snapped the picture of our two little ones going for a drive while Melissa checked out.
Today was my day to work from home, so this morning after the breakfast dishes were in the sink, I pulled out the paper and crayons and let the kids colour. It was quite fun to see. I think next week I’ll pull out the activity books. It’s nice to have some time with the kids doing creative things.
Today was a strange day for me, you see yesterday I put out my back. That’s not a big deal but today it was worse so I went to a local walk-in clinic, just to be safe. Well it’s probably just a muscle Strain bur he proscribed a anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxant for the pain. I have to say they worked, but I spent half the day passed out.
Today was Halloween and so the kids dressed up and headed out to get candy. The night was clear but cold. The cold forced us to change Violet’s costume from the Ladybug or Bumblebee to Jacob’s old Lion. Though I have to say she looked adorable in it.
The evening was a great success though it was interesting to watch Violet as she approached different houses. Some times she would charge up to the door, others she hung back clinging to mommy or daddy like a shy little thing. Of course most of our trick or treating took place after 7 which is her usual bed time so that added to the fun. We ended up taking her home early and putting her to bed before Jacob and the candy got home. This had the benefit that we didn’t have her trying to get at it before we had a chance to separate all the candy with peanuts or nuts. I can see that might be a bit of a challenge in the years to come.
Tonight Melissa and I enjoyed a rare evening out without the kids. We had dinner at Pickle Barrel and then saw Wicked at the Cannon Theatre It was a great evening, with good food and a great show. It was nice to spend time just the 2 of us.
Today was election day in Toronto, So what better picture of the day than ballot. I can’t say I’m to happy with the election results, but then that’s how democracy works, every one has a vote and the majority win, even if the majority make a big mistake.
Today our picture is of Jacob enjoying his Special Pop at Chuck E. Cheese’s. We were there celebrating Jacob’s success at school. It’s great to see him eager to go to school every day and if that means he gets a sicker when he gets home and a reward when he collects 10 stickers then I’m all for it.
Today I found myself at the Wheat Sheaf for lunch and instead of ordering my standard Hoagie (Project 365-60), I ordered a greed salad with a grilled chicken breast. It seems wrong, but when I look in the mirror or stand on the scale I know it’s right.
Today our picture is of a new sign added to our local park. It seems that we can no longer use the public park for Ball Playing. This seems wrong. I don’t understand how a sign like this can be placed in a public park. Before the sign was added police had stopped some neighbourhood kids who were playing in this area of the park. Is it just me or does the thought that they would band ball in an open field is just wrong. What’s worse is when asked about it, our local Councillor said it wasn’t his concern. I’m thinking with the election next week it’s time to find a councillor who would take these kinds of local issues his or her concern.
Tonight we have a picture of Jacob in deep concentration as he has computer time.
