POD: Bring out the Trains

From Picture of the Day 2013

This evening Jacob did something I hadn’t seen him do in a while. He pulled out his trains and started building a track. He had an intricate design in his mind when he started and only bed time stopped him from completing it. He says he’ll continue it tomorrow, but I’m sure there will be other distractions that keeps him from it. As our family contemplates starting our spring cleaning early this year. With spring cleaning comes the purging of old toy’s and one of the things on the bubble is Jacob’s train set, but watching him tonight I wonder if I could really part with it.

POD: Jacob’s new Toys

Today Melissa and Violet headed out with Nana and Papa, while Jacob and I stayed home to work on things around the place. When they got back Melissa had a surprise for my little guy. A set of figures from Jacobs favourite show, Phineas and Ferb. He was so excited when he saw the package. He couldn’t wait to open it up and play with them.

POD: Princess Sleeping bag

This evening Violet didn’t want to go to her own bed to sleep. Instead she wanted me to make her a sleeping bag with her Princess blanket on the living room floor. Once she was wrapped up in the blanket she was out in minutes. It was such a cute site that I thought it’d be a better picture of the day then the snow storm gripping the city tonight.

POD: Family Valentines Dinner

From Picture of the Day 2013

Thursday is our little family’s busiest day, and today we added to that Valentines and Parent teacher interview at Jacob’s school. Some how we managed to get through it all and still sit down for a Family Valentines dinner complete with special guest Nan. It’s moments like these that I cherish, I love seeing the joy and excitement in the kids faces.
