Thursday is our little family’s busiest day, and today we added to that Valentines and Parent teacher interview at Jacob’s school. Some how we managed to get through it all and still sit down for a Family Valentines dinner complete with special guest Nan. It’s moments like these that I cherish, I love seeing the joy and excitement in the kids faces.

Today I met up with my Mom and the kids after work. They were heading off to St. Martins for pancake dinner. I wanted to get a nice picture of the kids sitting on the TTC bench, but they wouldn’t sit any closer than this. So I guess this will be today’s picture of the day.

Today Melissa and Violet got to work on Heart shaped crayons for Violet’s preschool class valentines. I have to say they looking over all the hearts they made, it seems like quite a project. I can’t wait to see them all when they are done.

Sitting down to a family dinner on Sunday nights is a tradition I really enjoy, of course with Melissa’s shift work it’s hard to have the full family every Sunday. Tonight it was just me and the kids. We had a simple dinner of Chicken, Rice and Broccoli.

Today was Violet’s preschool’s Winder Celebration featuring Mystic Drums. It was a great event, with Crafts, Face Painting, balloon animals and even a bake sale. The kids loved it, the only down side was Jacob had to leave a little early to get to the first game of his hockey playoffs. I captured today’s picture of the day during the Mystic Drumz performance. It was amazing to see how the show kept all the kids interested, and active.

Today Toronto was hit by a wee bit of snow. It seemed like it didn’t stop at all today. So before dinner the kids and I headed out to see about having some fun in the snow. The kids loved running around and in the deep snow. It’s been a long time since Toronto has had that big of a snow fall, I just hope we don’t have to call in the army.

Last week Jacob brought home his box of chocolates to sell for school. So for the last week it’s been sitting here wanting me to buy them and eat them. Tonight Jacob came down stairs with a 5 Dollar bill from his room to buy some chocolate for Violet and himself. It was such a sweet request that I didn’t know what to say… So before bed the two kids enjoyed a little bit of Chocolate. I should have captured that moment for today’s picture of the day, but I didn’t think of it. So instead here is a picture of what’s left of the chocolates.

Tonight Melissa and Violet headed out to the theater with Nana and Aunty Suzanne to see the Wizard of OZ. So Jacob and I spent the evening hanging with Nate. As I was pretty sure this was the little guys first boys night, I made sure that he had a turn on the Playstation. As you can see in today’s picture of the day, he hasn’t quite got the hang of holding the controller.

Back in December I picked up a little black notebook to track my work. When the kids saw it they both wanted one. As I used it more and more, even Melissa asked if I could pick her up one. Yesterday I finally got around to picking up a few notebooks for the family. The kids wasted not time starting to write in their books. I was very impressed with how well Violet wrote her name in hers.
