We had a special breakfast today, complete with surprise presents for the kids. Of course I took a ton of pictures before, during and after. When I sat down to look at them on my computers big screen one caught my eye, and with a bit of editing we had today’s picture of the day.
Today was Violet’s Ballet picture day and it was the first time that Melissa got to see her in her costumes. Last year she only had one costume (POD: Ballet Pictures), but his year she’s performing in both Ballet and Tap so there are two costumes. The only thing I didn’t like is that I wasn’t at Ballet today so I’ve only seen her in costume in the pictures Melissa took.
We had a full long weekend capped off with a picnic at high park. It was a great day spent in the sun with friends. Of course spending the day in the sun takes a lot out of you so, instead of going through the 200+ images I took I’ll use this Animated picture of Jacob jumping off a stump in High Park.
While I was BBQing our dinner, Violet took out her bike out for a ride. I captured this picture as she speed around the corner. She really loves that bike.

Today the family headed out to the dentist. We were worried about how the kids would do with their appointments, the last time didn’t go to well. This time was totally different, both kids did great. Violet sat by herself for her entire appointment, which included a fluoride treatment. I’m so proud of her. Of course Jacob couldn’t be shown up by his little sister, so he headed off into his appointment all by himself. And did a great job as the Dentist looked over his teeth. What a great visit.
This afternoon I pulled out our net and tried to get the kids to play some ball hockey. I tried to get pictures but the kids were having none of it. I did get today’s picture of the day of the kids waiting for me to drop the ball for a faceoff. Of course before I could drop it I had to fix Violet’s grip on her stick and before I could get another picture the moment was list.
Today Violet’s preschool hosted a Mother’s day tea. So Melissa headed do for tea and a show. Violet was so excited to have Mommy at her preschool. Thanks to Melissa’s new phone she captured the event and I put together a collage for today’s Picture of the Day
Today we have a picture of Violet posing for a picture, showing off some of her new summer clothing.
Today after school my mom took the kids down to the lake for some fun in the sun. They even managed to find a tree or two climb. They really love there after school adventures with their Nan.
Today I turned 36 and I had a great day, from breakfast in bed to an afternoon ballgame with my boy and capped off with a fabulous dinner and cake with the family. It seemed I have to many pictures to choose from. So I could do my usual and put together a collage of all the pictures, but I think the picture of Jacob enjoying the ball game is a better choice. He wasn’t even supposed to be at the game today, my friend Tom had invited me but couldn’t go at the last-minute. I was glad to spend the afternoon with my boy. Of course the one person missing for our little celebration was Violet. She spent the day with her aunt Suzanne at the zoo. It was a great day.
