This afternoon I sat down with Jacob to build some Lego. It was fun to sit with my boy building Lego. I think we’re going to have to make that a sunday after noon thing. Or perhaps a Saturday Morning one on day’s when Violet goes to Ballet with her Mommy.

Today the kids spent the day with their Nana. I’m not sure everything they did to-day, but I do know that Jacob got a new set of Skylanders, and Violet of a toy shopping cart and a new Tea set. They both seemed happy with their new toys. I should include a bonus picture of Violet’s Shopping cart and tea set, but I just don’t feel like setting it up.

POD: Heart Surgery

| From Picture of the Day 2013 |
Last night Violet came downstairs in tears, it seems she had broken one of her heart crayons that we made for her birthday. She wanted me to fix it. So last night I tried, but nothing I did took hold. I had hoped she’d forget about it, but she didn’t. Repeatedly tonight she brought me the 2 pieces and asked me to fix it. Even brought me my Crazy Glue hopping I could use it to fix it for her. So tonight after she had gone to bed, I sat down to see if I could fix Violet’s heart. It didn’t take much, a clip, bbq lighter, a crayon and patience. Looking at it now it seems fixed. What I’m not sure of is how well the repairs will hold up in the morning when Violet get’s her hands on it.

POD: Violet’s Workbook

| From Picture of the Day 2013 |
Today was the end of the winter session of Violet’s Kindergarten enrichment program, and so she got to bring home her workbook. She was so proud of it that she spent a long time this evening showing me the different things that she did. It’s amazing to see how much she’s learned over the last few months. I tried to get a video of her singing her ABC’s but it she wouldn’t cooperate. I’ll be trying again over the next couple of days and when I do I’ll post it.
