Today I share a picture of some plants my mom has started growing in her window. They are sun flowers destined for the flower box in front of our place. It’s amazing to see how quickly they are growing. Before you know it they will be in our garden flowering.
Today our picture is of a childhood favourite, the Ice-Cream truck. but today when I saw it while the kids were playing in the park all I could think about was the fact that Violet can’t run up to it and get a cone. We can’t be sure that there isn’t peanuts the ice-cream or that the peanuts used to dip the cones doesn’t get on to hers. So as much as I would like to join the rush to the truck when I hear it’s siren call. I know that I can’t. It just seems unfair that Violet wont be able to experience one of the great childhood moments.
Jacob shows off our day pass to Violet. Usually I would write about our busy day and thwart different places we went, but I think today the picture is enough
When I got home from work today Jacob was napping so Violet and I headed down to the store to pick up a few things. She really enjoyed showing of her summer dress.
Today Jacob went to see his doctor and once again we have a double ear infection. This time we’re following it up with a visit to the specialist, trying to bottom of these infections.
Today when I got home from my run Melissa had done up Violet’s hair. I think the picture speaks for itself.
Today while playing with Violet I snapped this picture. She looks ready for summer, if only the weather would agree with her
Last week the anniversary of the launch of Geek With Kids passed without comment from me. This wasn’t an intentional slip up. I was working on a post for the occasion all last week it just never got published. Looking through the draft folder on my blog shows a bunch of posts in various stages of writing that will probably never see the light of day. Some are posts I am still looking for the words to express my thoughts. Others are reactions to things that have long past that I wanted write about but never found the words or the time to publish.
The problem with the blog is its public, whatever I write here is seen by family, friends, co-workers and strangers. So before I press publish I always run it by my inner editor, if I’m honest the editor is with me for each word I type. This makes it harder to get the ideas out. It’s what keeps me from publishing directly from the phone and from running off at the keyboard over random things. But on the days when I get past the editor long enough to write-up the reaction or rant it feels good. Even if it just sits in my drafts folder never to be read again. It feels good to write, it’s one thing I’ve enjoyed doing sence I was a kid and I miss it. I love to write, I just have a problem sharing it with others. That’s why Project 365 has taken over my blog. Though I am thinking that has to change.
How do I change it? How do I get back to writing for my blog, not just snapping a picture? That I haven’t figured out, but with a bit of luck of the next few weeks you’ll begin to see the difference here on the blog.
Today Melissa asked me to take a picture of her to send to Jack Sh*t, Getting Fit. At first I wasn’t going to use it for my picture of the day, but its such a great picture I couldn’t resist. It also gives me an opportunity to share Melissa’s new weight loss blog: Shrinking Mama
Today was mothers day so I thought I’d share some of what the kids and I got Melissa. The picture and its frame was from Jacob, he made it at pre-school. He was very excited to give it to mommy this morning. I hope all the mothers out there had a good day.
