Tonight Melissa slaved away in the kitchen making snack for Violet’s preschool tomorrow. The great thing about when Melissa bakes is I get to sample it. Violet’s preschool is one lucky class.

Once again Violet showed me that her favourite toy is a simple cardboard box. I was amazed at how much she played with the small box, she tried to make it a club house out of it. Of course it was barely bigger then her so it was a bit of a challenge.

Today at lunch I captured this picture of Jacob as he worked on a crossword with his Nan. It amazes me how much he loves trying to solve them. He did a pretty good job at it, though some of the clues were above him. Though I’m sure it wont be long before he can do it on his own.

Today I thought I’d start doing something I did throughout the first year of my picture of the day, and that’s at the end of each month I’m going to take a picture of myself. Then at the end of the year I’ll put them together in a collage and see if I can see a difference.

Every once in a while I will print some colouring sheets out for the kids. Today I brought home some Phineas And Ferb sheets for Jacob and a Couple of Snow White for Violet. I tried to get a picture of them both colouring but they just wouldn’t sit still long enough. So for today’s picture of the day we have Violet colouring away.

This week I’ve started to track everything I eat, and with tracking I’m trying to make sure I eat breakfast. So this morning I made myself a pepper and cheese omelette .

Another day another Skylander, I hope to get back to real pictures in the coming days. I’m hoping to not need to post a Skylander again till March, but you’ll have to stay tuned to see if I can make it.

Today I thought I’d share the art project from Violet’s birthday. Melissa managed to get every kid at the party to do hand prints on canvas. These are my kids hands. It’s a great keep sake, that will always remind me of my kids when they were young, and a great day that we celebrated Violet growing up.

Today at hockey was Jacob’s turn between the pipes. I would like to say my little guy had himself a shutout, but between his lake of experience as a goalie and his team playing short-handed on both lines, it was far from a shutout. It was a good game though, he tried hard the entire game, paid attention to the play and tried to stay with the puck as it went behind the net. He wasn’t always fast enough, but he tried. It’s the biggest improvement in his game this year, he seems to try for the entire game, even when it’s not going his way.

This afternoon as the snow was coming down Jacob wanted to do just one thing, get out and shovel it. So out he went for close to half an hour shoveling away. I think it wasn’t till he realized that areas he’d already shoveled where becoming covered again that he finally had enough. It was great to watch, and as with all such moments these day’s I was out with my phone capturing pictures.
