Category: Picture of the Day

Today was the end of the Lacrosse House league season, so it was Water-fight night.

Today I share our blooming Tiger Lillies. We have a couple of them in our garden, but last year we didn’t get to enjoy their flowers, as little hands picked all the buds. This year we’ve been treated to a lovely bunch of flowers.

Over the weekend Jacob had his last climbing class of the year.  I’m proud of how well he’s progressed over the year, and excited to see how he does when he goes back in the fall.

Not even the sudden thunderstorm washing out her second game could put a damper on Miss V today. Her team won 5-2 and the teams Lacrosse bags came in. She was one happy girl.

Today Violet played her last ball hockey game of the EMBHL season. Sure she might play on a team at provincials, but this is the end of the red team season. They had a chance of winning it all but came up just short. Losing 4-3. today’s picture of the day is Violet and Lucas discussing what play they were going to try their next shift. Between them, they scored all the Red team’s goals, Lucas with 2 and Violet with one. They came close to tying it up in the final minutes but just couldn’t do it. Still, it was a good season for Violet, who missed a few games with her broken arm.

Tonight the kids and I decided to walk home from Jacob’s guitar lesson. It was a beautiful day, and though a little cloudy it looked like the rain would stay away. It took us just over 30 minutes to complete it, but what amused me most was how excited Violet was as we walked over the bridge. See keep looking over the side, say ‘I’ve never walked on here before.’ Or ‘I haven’t seen the view from here before.’. It was so very cute

Today was Victoria day so the neighborhood was alive with fireworks.

Today Violet headed out on the field for her first games of lacrosse for the 2017 season. I could have gotten some pictures from the actual games, but it was rainy and grey. So this one we captured yesterday in the sunshine seemed a better way to remember the day.

Today we have a picture of Ruby take a break from playing catch. She had a lovely time enjoying the summer-like weather in the sun.

Today we headed to one of Violet’s lacrosse teammates moms dental clinic (Mimico Dental Hygiene) to get a new mouth guard. It was quick and easy, and in a few days, Violet will have a sparkly purple mouth guard.
