POD: Emergancy Hair Cut

From Pictures of the Day 2012

As you saw yesterday my little ones decided to play hair dress. So last night Jacob had a trip to the Papa Barber shop. Today it was Violet’s turn. Mommy took her down to the local hair salon. After a little convincing she sat in the chair and held still while the hair dresser did what she could with what was there.

POD: Unscheduled Haircuts

From Pictures of the Day 2012

Today our little ones reminded us, that when they are playing together and it get’s two quiet it might not be a good thing. You see they decided to play hair dresser with real scissors. They took turns cutting each others hair, I’m not sure who thought of the ‘game’ but they took turns cutting each others hair. Of course the cuts to Violet’s hair were more shocking than the few to Jacobs, but both kids had hair that was close to the scalp. Limiting our options for fixing it. For Jacob we got Papa to give him a buzz cut, for Violet Melissa did a bit to make it look a little better, but we’ll be taking her to a hair salon to see if they can fix it. You can expect to see another picture of Violet’s hair tomorrow.

POD: Puzzle Time

From Pictures of the Day 2012

Today after skating Jacob had a play date at his friend’s house, so it was just me and Violet hanging out at home. So out came one of her puzzles and we sat on the floor and put it together. It was nice having some time with Just Violet and me. Of course before I knew it Jacob was home and I was reading them the Paper Bag Princess before bed.

POD: The Family @ Santa Claus Parade

Today our family headed down to the Santa Claus Parade for an morning and afternoon of Christmas cheer. The day started early with Jacob and I heading out first. We got to our spot on the parade route around 9 am with Melissa, Violet and my mom joining us at about 11. It was good that we went so early because by the time everyone joined us the crowd was two rows deep. The kids had a great time watching the floats and seeing the big man, we took hundreds of photos, but I’m not up to sharing them today. Stay tuned in the coming days for a more.

POD: Cudling up

From Pictures of the Day 2012

I captured today’s picture of the day this evening after swimming. For some reason when we got home Violet wanted to dress up in her princess dress. Jacob settled into the big chair watching Netflix on his 3DS. I guess she was interested in what he was watching, so she climbed onto the big chair to watch with her big brother. When I saw the two of them, I had capture the moment so I grabbed my phone and snapped a few shots. As a father it always makes me smile to see the kids playing together so nicely.
