Today was a rare Monday that found both Melissa and me home. We were hoping to do more than just house work, but with rain forecasted for the afternoon it didn’t look good. So in the morning we packed up Jacobs T-Ball stuff and some soccer balls and headed to the big park. Jacob tried some batting, catch and even some soccer. It was a great morning.
Today’s picture is from our families Easter Egg hunt this morning. Both Jacob and Violet got really into it. So much so they discussed strategies for finding all the eggs.
Today the sun came out and the temperature skyrocketed. So after Violet’s nap we headed out to the park. While there Jacob and Violet enjoyed the swings with friends.
A pair of tickets for the Bluejays, were offered to Melissa and me. The seats alone were too good to pass up. First row in the 200 level just off home plate. I thought about taking Jacob, but it was an evening game and with Jacob’s new bedtime routine I wasn’t sure he’d be able to handle it. Especially if the game went long, and as it turned out it was a 11 inning affair so its problem a good thing that I didn’t bring him along. Instead it I took my mom, It was my way if thanking her for all the great stuff she does for us. The game itself was great, the Jays tied the Rays in the 8th and won it in the 11 with a walk off home run by Jonny Mac.
With tomorrow being Good Friday, Jacob brought home the Easter basket he made at school. It’s a cute little basket and card.
On nights when Melissa’s working we’ve got a pretty good bed time routine. Part of it I spend with Violet in her room reading to her or playing with some of her toys, before I tuck her in. Usually we have a bit of a discussion when I say it’s time for bed, she usually grabs another book from the shelf. Tonight she decided that she wanted to go to bed before I had a chance to say anything. I was sitting on the floor with her and she started trying to climb into her crib. Who I’m I to argue, I snapped todays POD and tucked her in.
Tonight I decided to take a brake from my healthy eating and running and picked up a bag of chips and chowed down. Of course now I’m thinking that I need to go for a late night run…
Today we had lunch out. We went to one of our families favourite places to have a healthy lunch. One we’ve always thought of as Nut Safe. Well today it didn’t seem so nut safe. After we left the restaurant and were shopping for groceries we noticed a butch of hives forming on our little girls face. The didn’t last to long, but there was a moment as the spread across her cheek that we were really worried. It was probably a secondary contamination, but it makes you wonder, do we have to use disinfectant wipes before every meal out?
Today Jacob wanted to put together his big floor puzzles so we set up in the living room and started putting it together. As you can see Violet was feeling well enough to join us. I tried to get a picture of both of them but today Jacob wouldn’t co-operate, so we’ll setting for just a picture of Violet. In the picture Violet is showing off her knowledge of animals.
Today we found ourselves in Urgent care once again. It was Violet’s turn today. My little girl has had a serious case of the poops for the last couple of days. By the time I got home Melissa was getting worried that she might be getting dehydrated so I dropped the two of them off and took Jacob to swimming. We got back to Urgent Care just in time for me to sit with her as they put in an IV. We spent the evening hanging in Urgent Care, thankfully Violet spent a lot of it napping. All we can do now is watch and wait hoping the worst of it is behind us.
