With today being the first day of spring it seemed only fitting to fire up the BBQ and enjoy some burgers. Of course first it there was a trip to Costco to get Propane and Burgers.

POD: Celebrating the end of Winter (Updated)
Today was the last day of winter, and so I took some time before lunch to take the kids out to enjoy the sunny day. We wandered over to a playground in a local school. It was a little chilly but they didn’t seem to mind.
Updated: added bonus picture of snack time in the park
POD: Can we skip Spring?
Today we decided to skip spring and head right into summer. Well actually Melissa took some time this afternoon to pick up some new summer clothes for the kids and when they got home Violet did a little fashion show.
POD: Growing Girl
With all that is going on tonight, it seemed I couldn’t find time to get a picture or a post. So tonight we use a picture Melissa snapped of Violet on their trip to the park this afternoon. Looking at my baby girl in this picture makes me wonder how long I have left before she tells me that she’s not a baby.
POD: Is it Spring yet?
Today after work I headed out to the local parts with the kids. It’s great to be able to head out side and enjoy the spring like weather we’ve been having. It was nice to see Violet try her bike outside for the first time.
POD: Laptop for Jacob?
Today I set Jacob up with Nana and Papa’s old laptop. To be fair it’s a shared laptop used by the whole family, but it was just to cute watching him play while Violet tried to spy why he was doing. Now my little man wants to start a blog… What am I going to do with my little guy?
POD: Celebrating with Friends
Tonight we had an unexpected visit to Chuck E. Cheese with the Protoulis family. It seems that there little girl has a breakthrough with her potty training and they wanted to celebrate. So off we went, our picture today is of Violet dancing.
POD: Movie with Nana and Papa
Today Jacob headed to the theatre with Nana and Papa to see Mars Needs Moms in 3D. He was very excited about the going to the theater and to listen to him talk about it when he got home he wasn’t disappointed. The only downside was that little Violet wanted to go, but she’s still a little young. They did pick up her own Kinder Egg so that she got a treat too.
POD: Returning to the balls
Today the family went to Balls of Fun with the Protoulis family. Once again I was reminded how much I wish it wasn’t so far away. Both Violet and Jacob have so much fun there, I wish we could make take them there more often.
POD: March Break Home Work
Today Jacob brought home 4 books, two are from school part of the snuggle up and read program. 2 are from the Library, it seems my mom took the kids to the local library after school and took out a couple of books for him. I’m thinking we’ll treat the Library books just like his school books. That is after reading them he can write out the title, draw a picture and write a sentence about it. It’s something that both Jacob and Melissa enjoy doing together, so why not do more of it.
