Today Jacob brought home his first box of fund-raising chocolates. It’s quite a box, with a wide selection. Of course it’s tempting to support the school by buying the chocolate our selves, but that doesn’t fit with the diet. So it’s time to find friends and family who want to get a bar or box …

POD: Notes for the rest of the family
Today Jacob took the time to write a notes for Melissa and Violet. It’s such a sweet thing for my little guy to do.
POD: A Note from Jacob
Today before bed Jacob brought me this note. It was so unexpected and sweet. Now I have my own spontaneous note from Jacob, back in November he gave one to Melissa (Project 365-321: A note for Mommy).
POD: My poor Baby Girl
We had our follow-up appointment at the fracture clinic. Our little girls collar-bone is broke in two places, and should heal on it own. She just has to keep her arm in sling. Day one with the sling went alright, sure there was times that she wanted off but for the most part she wore …

POD: Broken Bone, but not a broken spirit
Today Violet had an accident. While coming down the stairs as she neared the bottom, and was beyond what I thought of as the danger zone, she slipped and fell. At first we didn’t think it was serious, but it soon became clear that it was something more serious. So we packed the kids into …

The first thing that caught my eye was how proudly it proclaimed “Cyber Blastoff …

POD: Thinking outside of the Lunch Box
Today for the kids lunch Melissa and I got creative. Using decorative baking trays we put together a sample tray for each of them. They seemed to really like it. I’m thinking we’re going to have to get a few more baking trays. Of course if I was going to be fair about it, I’d …

POD: Snuggle-Up-and-Read
Today Jacob brought home some new homework. It’s something we signed up for last week and have been waiting to start. It’s the Kindergarten Snuggle-Up-and-Read Club. Each week Jacob will pick a couple of books to bring home. He’ll read them with mommy or daddy there to encourage him and help if one of the …

POD: Cookies
Today Melissa and Jacob took to the kitchen and made some cookies. The two of them seemed to have a lot of fun baking. Of course the abundance of cookies we now have probably aren’t great for the diet.
POD: Even bad behaviour can have some positives
It’s amazing how one little thing can show both how clever Jacob is and that he’s still a little boy. You see today Jacob decided to tell a story with words and a picture. Unfortunately he did it on the walls with pen. I’m not sure why he leaves off arms when he’s drawing people, …
