It was a long day, starting the day with Violet’s ballet class. Followed with Jacob’s hockey and ended it off with a trip down-town with the kids. I had hoped to share some of the Ballet or Hockey video I took, but tonight I just haven’t found the time to get it ready for the blog. So …

POD: Progress Reports… Swimming addition
Today was the kids last day of swimming for the fall session. Which means that we’re going to have an early morning sitting on the internet to register them for the new year. We’ve also have to decide if Violet will continue with Tiny Tots, or move her up to pre-school. Is she ready to …

POD: Funny Money
Today we have a picture of the New Canadian 100 bill. I think it’s crazy that we’re moving towards plastic money, that’s see through. When I was holding it today I thought it felt like play money. In fact it reminded me of the money from our Monopoly Millennium Edition. Of course it will be …

POD: The Art Gallery
This morning as I was getting ready for work, Violet took me by the hand and brought me to the kitchen to show me her artwork. She wanted me to take a picture of it, so I did. She loves ‘colouring’ and what she ‘colours’ she wants to display. To be fair, the one on …

POD: Finding Frosty
For the last few days Violet has wanted to watch Frosty the Snowman. I’ve meant to pull out the DVD and put it on for her, but I haven’t had a chance. I had checked Netflix but it wasn’t there, but it wasn’t. Tonight while Violet was asking to watch an episode of Strawberry Shortcake …

With the Santa Claus parade winding through our streets yesterday, in my head it’s now the Christmas season. So as I was walking to and from work today I thought it might be a good time to take a picture of the local fountain with its fancy Christmas light display. I’m not sure that on a normal night …

Two weeks ago we went, of course because things can never go as planned we were forced to change our plans at the last-minute and Violet ended up stay back in Toronto to have a special adventure with Nan. That …

POD: Still Helping
Today was laundry day at our house and little Violet wanted to help out. In fact we could hardly stop her. Her usual job is emptying the lint trap, today she did a bit of everything.
POD: Fall Fun
Today while heading home from Jacob’s hockey we met up with Melissa and Violet heading home from Violet’s ballet. While walking we saw a huge pile of leaves that was too much for the kids. It started with Jacob running through it. Violet followed him in and started to have some fun. It amazed me …

POD: Imagination Train
Today I called into the kitchen by Violet, she wanted to show me the Train she’d made. It’s great to see how her imagination works. I’m not sure what inspired her to make a train. It could have been that game of Ticket punching that her and Jacob were playing before she started. The Bob …
