From Picture of the Day 2013

Today we were at one of Jacob’s school friends Birthday party at a local indoor playground. Of all the pictures I took today these of the kids climbing seemed to be the best for my picture of the day.

This morning I made a coffee run to Tim Horton’s and for the first time it wasn’t my desire for coffee that inspired the visit, it was Melissa’s. Over the last few weeks she’s developed a taste for coffee, not something I expected from her. As you can see from today’s picture she seems really with happy with her cup of coffee. I do like being able to sit down with Melissa and enjoy a coffee.

Friday is Violet’s Gymnastics day, and to-day I got the pleasure of taking her to her class. I captured today’s picture of the day as we waited for her class to start.  My little girl is trying so hard to grow up, wanting to do everything for herself. Today she kept insisting that she could change by herself in the girls change room. Of course I couldn’t have that, so I convinced her that she had to show me she could do it herself first then maybe next time she could go into the girls change room alone. I’m not sure what I’ll do the next time I take her to Gymnastics.

This evening when I went to check on Violet I found her passed out in her chair. I guess that she was so hard not to fall asleep in her bed that she ended up in her chair.

I guess Jacob’s train bug wasn’t satisfied with the track he made last night before bed. This afternoon the kids and Nan covered Jacob’s room floor with an intricate track.  From the pictures Nan took it’s clear they had fun doing it.

This evening Jacob did something I hadn’t seen him do in a while. He pulled out his trains and started building a track. He had an intricate design in his mind when he started and only bed time stopped him from completing it. He says he’ll continue it tomorrow, but I’m sure there will be other distractions that keeps him from it. As our family contemplates starting our spring cleaning early this year. With spring cleaning comes the purging of old toy’s and one of the things on the bubble is Jacob’s train set, but watching him tonight I wonder if I could really part with it.

Today Melissa and Violet headed out with Nana and Papa, while Jacob and I stayed home to work on things around the place. When they got back Melissa had a surprise for my little guy. A set of figures from Jacobs favourite show, Phineas and Ferb. He was so excited when he saw the package. He couldn’t wait to open it up and play with them.

This week was report card week for my little guy. We were quite happy with his grades and so today we wanted to do something to celebrate with him. So we had a special dinner complete with a little cake.

This evening Violet didn’t want to go to her own bed to sleep. Instead she wanted me to make her a sleeping bag with her Princess blanket on the living room floor. Once she was wrapped up in the blanket she was out in minutes. It was such a cute site that I thought it’d be a better picture of the day then the snow storm gripping the city tonight.

Today we headed over to Nana’s house to see how she was doing. So each of the kids picked out some flowers for her. It was sweet watching the kids pick out which flowers they wanted to get, and then the both insisted on carrying them all the way to Nana’s house.
