Today when Melissa and Violet headed out to pick Jacob up at school, Violet decided to bring along her baby in a stroller. So of course Melissa captured this picture. My little girl is growing up so fast…

POD: End of Blastball
On the weekend Jacob celebrated the end of his Blastball season with the other players. While there he got his team photo and a little trophy,. So today after T-Ball I thought I’d take a picture of them for my picture of the day.
POD: Jump!
Today while Melissa work the kids and I headed out to the big park.While there I snapped a few pictures. The best was of Jacob jumping off some of the equipment. It only took 4 takes to get it.
POD: Violet’s first Movie
Today while Melissa was at work I thought it’d be fun to take the kids out for a fun day. We went to the Queensway theatre to see Cars 2. Jacob loved the movie. Violet liked it but was perhaps still a little young to sit through an entire movie. Of course when I got home I realised Melissa was hopping to take Jacob and our niece to see it. I think she still can, I’m pretty sure that Jacob would love to go again.
POD: A new Chapter
Today before school the family had a trip to the local library, which happens to be next to Jacob’s school. While I was getting a new library card, Melissa and the kids were looking at books. Before I knew it Jacob came over to me asking if he could take out a book. The book was an Arthur Chapter Book, I of course checked the book out and he immediately opened it up and started to read it. Even when we got to his school after showing it off to a couple of his friends he sat down and continued to read. It wasn’t long before Violet joined him and listened to him read. It amazes me that my little man, who just turned 5 is reading a chapter book.
POD: Lego
Today the family headed out to Sherway to pick up a few things. While there Jacob and I found ourselves in the new Lego Store. Jacob was quite excited to be there, though apart from the Cars sets he was most interested in building his own Lego men. Perhaps we’ve found Jacob’s next obsession interest.
POD: Lego Troopers
Today when I got home from work Jacob showed me some of his Lego Storm Troopers he’d put together. It’s great to see Jacob getting into Star Wars, I really need to get a copy of the Original trilogy to watch with him.
POD: Father’s Day
Today was fathers day and so of course my picture of the day is one of me and my kids. We had a great day as a family, after a morning with mommy I spent the afternoon just me and the kids, out and about enjoying the sun shine.
POD: Outing with the kids
Today we took a trip down town, to do some shopping at the Eaton Centre. It was a great day, both Jacob and Violet did great, even when it got crowded. Our picture was snapped at the start of the outing while we waited for the subway to take us down town.
POD: Playmobil Vacation
Ever since Jacob opened his Playmobil on his birthday he’s been asking me to put them together. I’ve been putting them together one at a time, after he’s completed some chores in his room and had a place for all the little pieces. Today I finished putting together the last one, his Vacation house. So it seemed only fitting that I should put together all the vacation sets he got for his birthday and use them for my Picture of the Day. It’s quite an impressive collection, and that doesn’t include all the school sets he has up in his room.
