Today our little family found ourselves waiting at the Health card office. We were there to renew Melissa and Violet’s health card. Keeping both Violet and Jacob entertained in while we waited was a bit of a challenge, but we managed it. Violet was fascinated by the Pizza Pizza she could see from the window. Jacob had his new Leapster Explorer so it wasn’t to bad.
Today Melissa and I took the kids to Balls of Fun, the Ultimate Ball Gym. We met Lisa and her 2 kids there. It was quite a place. Jacob and Violet had a blast throwing and kicking the balls around the place. Plus the climbing area with slides was a big hit. It’s a real shame it’s so fair away, I would love to be able to take the kids there more often.
Today we put on Violet’s Beauty and the Beast Blu-ray for her to watch. It was so cute to watch as she curled up on her new chair to watch the movie. Our baby girl is growing up to fast. In just 23 days she’ll be 2… where does the time go?
Today was a day of relaxing around the house, with a bit of work thrown in. We’re finding homes for some of the new things that have come in and trying to decide how we want our living room to look. It’s been the mostly the same since we moved in 2 years ago and it’s time for a change. Keeping with the theme started yesterday of show just a glimpse of our new living room at a time, todays picture is of Jacob and Violet’s new chairs. Stay tuned in the coming days to see the rest of our changes.
Today was boxing day so Melissa and I decided we’d had enough of dead pixels and headed out for a new TV. While out we decided to update out TV stand. We also figured if we were going to get a new TV we might as well get a bigger one, so we now have a 47” LG.
Christmas morning, and Jacob’s face as he comes down the stairs says it all. It was a long but great day and I want to thank all the family that we got to share this day with.
After a night of family fun at Melissa’s dad’s we came home and did our Christmas tradition, kids opened 2 presents (PJs and a Book).Put the milk and cookies out for Santa, plus carrots for the reindeer. Read the Night Before Christmas before tucking our little ones in for the night. It was a great way to spend Christmas eve. Of course once the kids were in bed Santa came and put out all the gifts.
Today Nana and Papa took Jacob out to get presents for Mommy and Daddy. He was very excited to go on an evening adventure to the mall. It was great that he could spend the time with Nana and Papa plus be able to put something under the tree. Thanks Lynn and Dan.
Today our little artist completed his first commissioned work. You see on our fridge we have a little frame for displaying kids artwork. Jacob didn’t have anything small enough so it just had the sheet of paper that came with it that said ‘A Place for my artwork’. Well Jacob was reading that while I was washing up some dishes and I thought if we pulled out that paper he could draw something that we could display. As you can see in our picture that he really enjoyed it. Unfortunately the first paper that was in the frame was glossy and his drawing didn’t really stand out on it. So he did a second piece.
Tonight Melissa spent the evening gluing Red noses and googly eyes to candy canes. Well once we disposed of the cheap new glue gun and pulled out her crafty glue gun from storage. It’s impressive to watch the way she works through 58 candy canes. Of course it’s for a good cause, the children at Gilda’s Club.
