This morning Jacob sat down to do some math in his new Grade 2 math book. Violet pulled out the iPad and did some math and reading using an App Melissa got for Jacob when he was littler.

Today after dinner I thought it’d be good for the kids to get out side for some fun in the evening sun. It was Violet who insisted that they ride their bikes, so off we went to Rabba to get an after dinner treat. It’s amazing how well Violet is doing with her bike, she still struggles at times, but before I know it she’ll be ready to take the training wheels off.

It’s becoming a yearly tradition to head out to the Lakeshore Mardi Gras, and the kids don’t seem to mind.

Today while picking up a few things at Costco, we were shocked to see an isle of Christmas things. It just seems wrong that August is just beginning and they are selling Christmas stuff. It was bad enough seeing the rack of Halloween costumes, but Christmas. Come on Costco.

Today Jacob once again donned his Captain America costume to play with his friends outside. Violet insisted on joining the fun in her Rapunzel costume. It was cute watching her run after the boys dressed as a princess.
POD: Pizza anyone?
 |
| From Pictures of the Day 2012 |
Tonight when I got home from work I felt like something different. So after looking in the fridge and asking the kids what they felt like, it was decided we’d have mini pizza’s. They looked so good that I had to take a picture of them for my picture of the day.

In Jacob’s loot bag from yesterday’s party was a Dinosaur Fossil kit, today he wanted to check it out. I thought it was so cool, that I took some pictures and put together a little collage. It was fun watching him dig for dinosaur bones, even Violet wanted to help. He seemed to enjoy it so much I might have to see if I can pick up a few more.
POD: new Wii

Today while Visiting Melissa’s dad Jacob got a huge surprise. I should start by saying that my 5-year-old Wii has recently started showing its age, crashing when ever Jacob tried to play his games. So while we were visiting with Melissa’s dad he surprised Jacob by getting him a new Wii for a belated birthday present. He was very excited.
