When we went shopping this weekend we picked up a box of Ice Cream Sandwiches. I wanted to celebrate the release of Ice Cream Sandwich for my HTC Amaze, which I expected today. The kids thought this was a great idea and were looking forward to have them all day. Unfortunately the update never got released and so I was left with the choice of saving them for when it did get released and disappointing my kids, or just enjoying the treat tonight. As you can see by today’s picture we chose to enjoy the Ice Cream Sandwich tonight. Plus we have another 3 to have when the update does finally ship.

This week Jacob is Star of the week, which meant extra homework this weekend so today  for my picture of the day I thought I’d use a picture of his homework. I’m really impressed at how much his colouring and writing has improved over this school year. I’m still in denial  about him turning 6 in 2 short weeks, but of course he is and my baby boy isn’t a baby anymore.

Today we had a busy morning, first T-Ball then Violet’s ballet picture day. The best part of picture day was in was able to get this picture of Violet in her costume.

Today Melissa took the kids out to the local splash pad for some fun in the afternoon. I found them there on my way home from work and snapped this picture before they realized I was there. It’s great to see the water flowing again, I know we’ll be spending plenty of afternoons in the park watching the kids play this summer.

Today I am bringing back my Fitness Friday posts. Its part of an increased focus on running and eating healthier. I’ve wanted to start these up for a while, but I was waiting until I was confident in my new running plan. Each week I’ll include  a running total of this current months running totals.  I’m going to start this series up again by looking  at some dates in the past that have been important to my running, and then look to the future and see what dates are coming up.

May 2 2010: First Run (3.17k – 33:54)
This is the day that started it all, Melissa and I headed out to do day one of the couch to 5 k program. Melissa ran with me a few times in the beginning before deciding running wasn’t for her (I’m happy to say she’s giving it a second shot now).  I followed the program for 5 weeks before starting to find my own way. I continued to have minute long walks, but I increased the time I was running until I was consistently Running for 10 and walking for 1.

Today was Crazy hair day, so we picked up so washable dye and had some fun. Once again one picture wasn’t enough so I played with putting together collage of three of the best pictures I took on the way to school this morning.  It was great to see how excited he to go to school with his crazy hair. I can’t wait to see how excited he’ll be tomorrow for pajama day.
