Tonight before bed I spent some time reading to Violet, our picture to-day is one of the books. It’s a cute little book for teaching numbers to kids, but I got to thinking do I really want here reading it? Do I want her to be playing with Acorns, even plastic ones? Am I setting her up for trouble if she see’s one on the ground and wants to play with it? So I did a little research and can’t seem to tell if I should be worried. I did a little research and it seems that there’s a bunch of differing opinions on the subject. The Nut-Free Mom sees to think that they are alright to handle. They are Nuts according to http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/produkte.asp?Doi=72135 and http://www.wisegeek.com/can-people-eat-acorns.htm.
So what do you think, should we put away the book?
Today was a sorta lazy day, we did some shopping and some organizing of the house. What I didn’t do was find time to take a picture. Well almost didn’t. I did take a couple of snaps of the kids while they were playing outside after dinner. The one I’m using is of Jacob pushing Violet on the Big Wheel. This is almost the picture I was trying to get a few days ago. Perhaps I’ll try again in a few days and get it perfect.
Today was the family piled into Nana and Papa’s van and headed to Ontario Place. It was great, I’m working on putting together a post about the day, until then here is a highlight of Jacob enjoying his day.

Today after work the family headed out to Old Navy to check out the Jean sale. I tried on a few pairs and was shocked to find that my waist was down to a 36. It seems inconceivable that when I met Melissa I was wearing a 42. I wonder if I could get down to a 32. I think the vision of losing another couple of inches that inspired me to head out for a run tonight. Check out my run at RunKeeper
Today when I was giving Violet a snack I thought her snack cup’s lid look like a door from a Science Fiction movie or TV Show. What do you think?
Today was Jacobs skating and with Melissa working evenings I was on my own, but instead Violet hung out at Nana and Papa’s while Jacob and I headed to skating. When we went to pick up Violet Jacob really wanted to have a swim.
Today Violet seemed almost like her old self, she slept well and was out and about playing. She really likes riding on Jacob’s Big Wheel. She even keeps her feet on the bar while I push her. It seemed only fair to give her a turn on it after she’d been chasing Jacob they other day.

Today while Violet napped Jacob played outside, he had wanted to take his big boy bike out for a spin but its back tire is flat. So here we see Jacob and one of his friends trying to fix it. I’m hoping to pick up a patch kit this week so that I can have it fixed by next weekend.
Today while Violet napped I decided to head out for a ride. So I loaded Jacob in the trailer and hopped on my bike. I wasn’t sure where I was going, though Jacob wanted to go to the High Park and the Castle Playground. I wanted to go further. In the end I compromised and took the long way to high park. I let Jacob play for a while before getting back on the bike and heading home.

Another month passes and which means its time for another self-portrait. I snapped this while watching Jacob play in the park. We weren’t there long as it was starting to rain a little but it was a fun while it lasted. From there we headed out to track down a Geo-cache, it’s something I’d been meaning to do but haven’t taken the time to do till today. Here is a link to the cache I found (cache).
