Today the family headed out to the dentist. We were worried about how the kids would do with their appointments, the last time didn’t go to well. This time was totally different, both kids did great. Violet sat by herself for her entire appointment, which included a fluoride treatment. I’m so proud of her. Of course Jacob couldn’t be shown up by his little sister, so he headed off into his appointment all by himself. And did a great job as the Dentist looked over his teeth. What a great visit.

POD: Taking a Faceoff

This afternoon I pulled out our net and tried to get the kids to play some ball hockey. I tried to get pictures but the kids were having none of it. I did get today’s picture of the day of the kids waiting for me to drop the ball for a faceoff. Of course before I could drop it I had to fix Violet’s grip on her stick and before I could get another picture the moment was list.

Today I turned 36 and I had a great day, from breakfast in bed to an afternoon ballgame with my boy and capped off with a fabulous dinner and cake with the family. It seemed I have to many pictures to choose from. So I could do my usual and put together a collage of all the pictures, but I think the picture of Jacob enjoying the ball game is a better choice. He wasn’t even supposed to be at the game today, my friend Tom had invited me but couldn’t go at the last-minute. I was glad to spend the afternoon with my boy. Of course the one person missing for our little celebration was Violet. She spent the day with her aunt Suzanne at the zoo. It was a great day.

This evening Violet headed out for a sleep over at Aunty Suzanne’s so Melissa, Jacob and I headed to McDs for a late night Ice Cream. While there I thought it would be nice to get a picture of Just me and my Boy. I should have asked Melissa to take the picture, but instead I used the front facing camera.

Today when I got home I found Violet’s latest piece of art waiting for me. I’m not sure what it is, but Violet seemed proud of it. So I think it deserves a place as my Picture of the Day.
POD: Pizza Night

With Melissa working tonight, I thought it would be fun for me and the kids to make mini pizzas for dinner. I keep trying to get the kids to have more topping on their pizzas. Usually they just want Pepperoni, tonight I manage to get them to add bacon. Next I’ll try to add some vegetables.
