Geek With Kids

As the school year, it’s time to bring gifts to the kid’s teachers.

Today after school we headed out to do some of our final Christmas shopping. It’s not last-minute shopping, that’s reserved for Saturday. While picking Ruby’s present at Petsmart the kids each found a pet they wanted to bring home. While Jacob’s fish may one day find its way home, I don’t think we’ll ever be bringing home a Guinea pig for Violet.

Tonight the kid’s school has their Christmas Concert. Of course, it was complicated by Violet’s DS Christmas hockey skate and party. Of course for our little hockey diva, missing either wouldn’t do. So we started our night skating, before heading to the school to for the concert. After her song, Violet headed back to the rink to finish the Christmas party with her team.

Tonight we have a picture of Violet in her happy place. In front of the net with her stick on the ice.

Today I picked up Violet’s new mouth guard from the dentist. I love that we get a plaster mold of her teeth to go with the guard.

Today Jingles seems to have been craving some cookies.

Today was Jacob’s last day of Climbing class so to celebrate I captured this picture of him climbing.  When he started at Boulderz the thought of climbing upside down was too much for him. But now he was up it in no time at all

Today we put the first presents for the kids under the tree. Of course, it was after they went to bed, so the kids haven’t seen them yet.

This week at Violet’s dance studio was Christmas Spirit week. Which means to things, first that the kids get to dress up, and second the parents get to see a little show. I took today’s pictures of the day during her performances.

Today Jacob headed to the dentist to get a cavity filled.It wasn’t a fun time for my little man. After a rough start, he managed to get through it, I just hope when we return Monday to fix his other cavity we can skip the rough start.
