With swimming canceled this morning, as they cleaned up from the store, Nan took the kids on an adventure looking for new places to play. First they went to her old neighborhood to check out the Vermont Square. From there they check out Christie Pits. Today’s picture of the day is from Vermont Square. While I was going through the pictures my mom took today these one really stood out. My only question is why do the trees seem to have exhaust ports?
Tonight our fair city was hit by a rain storm and power failure. Leaving us to spend the evening in the dark. So put came the candles, I even lit up our wall mounted candle wheel. I’m impressed by how much light it provides and how pretty it looks.

For years we’ve been collecting money in an old water jug(Project 365-050: Savings Account or Toy). Thanks to our friends Jen and Bill our jug got an upgrade, from plastic to glass. The Jug is our vacation fun and the kids are really into putting any change they find into it. One of the things we’ve changed with the upgrade is that we’re keeping the pennies out of the jug. So tonight Melissa and I went through the old jug and separated all the coins and fulled up our new jug.

Last night Lynn and Danny headed down to the states on a hunt for Melissa’s new favourite drink, Cherry Coke Zero. It was such a sweet thing for them to do that I thought I should use a picture of one of the cans as today’s picture of the day.

Today the kids, Nana and I headed to Fantasy Fair at the Woodbine Centre. It was a fun afternoon with lots rides. Today’s picture of the day was taken on the bumper cars, right before we ran into Nana and Violet. It wasn’t really a planned day so all I had was my phone so the pictures are limited. Though I hope to find the time to put them together for a post later in the week.

I took today’s picture at the game tonight, as a Blue Jays fan there wasn’t much to cheer about. But when they finally got on the board in the ninth, even though it was already 2 outs out came the rally caps. Well Bill and I put on the rally caps. We knew it was delusional, but we had to do it.

Today Nana brought over some plants for our planter and of course Violet had to help her plant them. I of course pulled out the phone and started snapping pictures.

I capture this picture of Jacob, Violet and Jordan as they compared Pokémon Playing cards. Well Jacob and Jordan were comparing their cards, I’m not sure what Violet was doing there. I think I’m going to have to sit down with Jacob one of these days and learn how to actually play the Pokémon card game, so that he and Jordan can do more than look at the cards.

Today we celebrated to birthday’s in our little family, Melissa’s and Canada’s. We had the first part of the day to ourselves, but it was nice to be able to share a cupcake with the kids when they got home. I want to say two things, first is Happy Birthday to the women I love and second is thank you to Nana and Papa for the weekend without kids.

Now that Melissa has gone to bed I thought I’d share a picture of the special gift I got her for her birthday tomorrow. I’ve been squirreling away my money so that I could get her something nice..
