POD: Preparing Canvases for the Party

Tomorrow we celebrate Violet’s fourth birthday. So tonight was a night of prep, cutting the fruits and veggies or the trays. Wee also had to get the canvases ready for one of Melissa’s craft projects she’s planning to do with the kids. They looks so nice all lined up it seemed like a perfect picture for my picture of the day. Perhaps tomorrow I can manage to get a picture of them all when the kids are done.
POD: Long day for my Baby Girl

Today we have a picture of one tired little Violet, who couldn’t even wait for her dinner to arrive before falling asleep. She was enjoying a special dinner with Jacob, Nana and Papa after skating lessons. Thursday’s is a long day for my little girl, with all day pre-school and skating lessons.
POD: Begining to Blog

Today we have a picture of Jacob as he works on writing a blog post for his new blog. The blog is still a work in progress so we’re not ready to share a link to it, but he’s really proud of it. Each night he sits down and works on a post. To be fair, I only set it up for him Monday, so we’ll see how long his interest lasts. Once we’re done with all the setup and tweaking I’ll be sure to share a link to it here.

Today we have a picture of some of the ‘Loot Bags’ for Violet’s upcoming birthday party. Every year Melissa works so hard on making the kids parties special, from picking a theme to making the decorations. This year we’re going with a colouring theme for the party, so what’s missing from the picture are the green buckets. I can’t wait to see how it all comes together on Violet’s special day.
POD: Violet’s Snow Fort

Today while waiting for Jacob’s school day to end, Violet played in on a snow pile in the school yard. Apparently that’s her snow fort.
POD: Skating

Today the kids headed to the MasterCard Centre for Hockey Excellence. Jacob for Hockey skills, Violet for the next level of skating. I tried to get a good picture of them, but it was the end of the day and my phone was running out of power. So I took what I got and put together a collage. I have to say it’s been a while since I’ve watched the kids skate, and I’m impressed how much better they are getting.
POD: Birthday Shirt

Today when I checked the mail I was greeted with a little package, Violet’s birthday day shirt had arrived. So what better picture of the day then a picture of it and the colourful necklace that goes with it. Violet was really excited to see her shirt. Almost kept her from thinking about show and tell at pre-school tomorrow.
POD: Building a Snowman
 |

Today after school my mom once again took the kids out into the snow. Today instead of just playing on a mountain of snow they built a snowman. Something they have wanted to do since last winter. They were so excited when I got home that all they could talk about was their day building a snowman.
