Today Melissa and I celebrated our anniversary with a date night. First we had dinner then we went off to the movies to see Gone. I captured today’s picture of the day during a down time while waiting for the movie. I was just taking a random picture of Melissa and when I went through the pictures I took today I knew this would be my picture of the day.
Tonight Melissa decided to make a pot of Chilly for the family. So after a quick run to the supermarket to get the missing ingredients we loaded up the slow cooker and set it cooking over night. Even though it’s not ready to eat it looks so good I knew it had to be my picture of the day.
Today I snapped this picture of Jacob’s plat after I put it down on the table for dinner. For people who are interested the third section of plate has Cantaloupe. Looking at it now, makes me think I might have over cooked his Grill cheese a little, but the empty plate after dinner tells me I’m worrying to much.
Today I captured a picture of Jacob’s Mario and Luigi during a visit to the local McDonald’s. The best part of it for daddy was getting to relax while the ran around the play area with the other kids that were there. The visit was a last-minute thing, I just wanted to give mommy the night off so when I got home from work the kids and I headed out leaving Mommy home alone.
Today we have a picture of Violet’s Princess Crew. I’m not sure where the name came from, we just her using it one day. I’m also not sure how Jacob’s princess peach joined the crew but there she is right in the center. They are a hard crew to track down. Most night’s Violet is playing with them or has squirreled them away so I can’t find them when I’m deciding on my picture of the day.
Today I captured a picture of Violet wearing a mask Jacob made at school. She was so cute posing for the picture. It seems a great way to share a picture of my little princess and Jacob’s latest art work.
When I went through Jacob’s bag today I found a little surprise. It seems that he drew me a picture at school. It brought a smile to my face, so I thought it might bring a smile to the face of some of my readers.
Today was a work from home day and I thought I’d have a day without Violet napping, but as I was cooking dinner, she fell asleep sitting up in the big chair in our living room. It was so cute, I had to capture the moment. It amuses me that, she’s not the only member of the family to have fallen asleep sitting in that chair. There have been a few nights where I find myself dosing off while sitting there.
The day started out as a lazy Sunday morning, with me and the kids just hanging out while Melissa slept in a little. I’m not sure who turned it on, but the Ps3 got turned on, probably to watch Netflix. Before you know it Violet has the controller and is playing the Quack Quack game. She didn’t quite grasp how the controls worked, but she really tried hard to make it work. With Jacob’s growing obsession with video games, I’m sure it wont be long before she has a game that she both loves to play and can play.
