Geek With Kids

Last Wednesday I shared a picture of Jacob’s new keyboard to honour his weekly music lesson, so today I thought I’d share a picture of Violet’s Ballett shoes because while Jacob is off at his music lesson violet is off dancing. Of course, I don’t think Wednesday nights are Ballett night…

Tonight was a regular practice for our young hockey player.

When I sat down with Jacob to play his new board game Monopoly Gamer, I expected a regular game of Monopoly with some Mario themed figures and locations. I was wrong. Sure there are properties you buy, but they’re only 2 in a set and you can’t buy houses or hotels. The money is Coins when you pass go you collect 2 coins, not 200 dollars. The dice are a regular 6 sider and a power-up six sider, so while the board is smaller it seems to take longer to go around it. What I’m trying to say is that it felt different than other monopoly games I’ve played, even more than the round Cars Monopoly Jacob got when he was younger. As someone who is kinda bored of the traditional Monopoly, it was a fun and refreshing change, and I can’t wait to play it with the entire family

Today while picking up some last-minute supplies for this week lunches we spotted Timbits cereal. We had to buy a box, well two box (once of each flavour) to give it a try. To nobody’s surprise, they were a hit with both the kids.

Today we have a collage of pictures from today’s hockey game in St. Catharines. It started out great with our gir’s playing strong hockey. The first period was play without a single whistle. In the second our girls seemed to dominate the score chances but couldn’t put the puck in the net. The third it all fell apart, and they ended up loosing 3-0.

Today we have a picture of Nan, aka my mom. I enjoyed a cup of coffee with her at a local bakery this morning and captured this picture as I headed off.

Another day another practice. I thought of using a picture I captured of the team practicing, but then Google gave me a little supersize.

Wednesday has been Jacob’s music lesson night for over a year now, but today is the first since he got his own keyboard. So I thought I’d share a picture his keyboard for my picture of the day.

Tonight is practice night for Violet’s hockey team. I capture this picture of the coach going over drills with the girls. It amazes me that there is less then a month left of the regular season.

Tonight we have a picture of Violet receiving a pass during her skills session tonight.
