Category: Picture of the Day

Today’s picture is of Violet modeling her outfit for her birthday party. It’s not the Birthday outfit we wanted for her, but it’s a pretty good second choice.

Today we had more party prep. Today we loaded up the loot boxes with goodies for the little kiddies that are coming to the party.

Last week Melissa placed an order online from the Gap and Old Navy with a co-worker. Today the clothes arrived, she picked up 4 T-Shirts and plus one long-sleeved shirt plus a new vest. All that cost around $50, the vest alone usually sales for $80 so it was a pretty good deal. Plus I really like what she picked out. I also like the fact that I didn’t need to spend any time shopping to get them

This afternoon while Violet was supposed to be napping she decided to climb out of her crib. I guess she picked up some tricks from Jacob climbing into her crib for their morning picnic. So we were left with a couple of choices, first we leave it and hope that if she tries to climb out again she doesn’t hurt herself in the process. They second was to take the side of the crib and give her the freedom to get out of bed. Of course this adds some trouble at bed time, as she resists going to sleep. Our first night went pretty well, though I ended up having to sit next to her bed till she fell asleep. With Jacob I had to do that for 3 or 4 nights, it’ll be interesting to see how long Violet takes to get used to bed.

Yesterday Melissa and Violet’s god mother Suzanne got together and began doing some of the prep work for Violets Birthday. When they showed me there results of there afternoon of work I was impressed. So what do my readers think these pretty boxes will be used for?

Jacob usually wakes up before Melissa or me. Usually he’s a good boy and comes wakes us up. This morning he did something a little different. Today he went into Violet’s room and took the food from her kitchen dumped it into her crib and climbed in. When I came in and asked what they were doing, they told me they were having a picnic. As a parent I’m really glad to see how well the two of them can play together. I guess the only question is how long does that last?

Today I did something I haven’t done before. Today I picked up a pair of winter boots. After buying them I was trying to remember the last time I own a pair of winter boots. I know I have owned them, I just don’t know when. I don’t think I have never bought myself a pair. The closest I came was using my hiking shoes in the winter. That probably wouldn’t have changed now, except Melissa keeps insisting that I need a pair of boots. So I looked around a bit this afternoon and found a pair regularly $150 on for $80 with an extra 30% off. I couldn’t resist them at that price. I must admit though, after walking through todays snow with my old runners, and my new boots. It’s much better to have boots.

All winter Jacob has wanted to go out and play in the snow. Unfortunately there hasn’t been enough snow or time to let him get out and enjoy it. Today after school there was. On Her way Home Melissa capture this picture of one of our little guys Snow Angels.

Today our fair city got a sprinkling of snow, leaving the streets picturesque. What surprised me most was how I felt walking home from work, I wanted to go home get into my running gear and hit the streets. I wonder were this running monster came from, but there it is. Under the surface there wishing to get out. Of course with my knee injury I can’t head out there, due to the Fight with wife Attorney overland park, so I’m forced to sit here and ponder if today is a good day to see if it’s better. It didn’t hurt today, but then it wasn’t hurting before my last run either. So for now, I sit and look over my past runs. Explore the new features in RunKeeper and wait. I see my family doctor next Wednesday and all I’m trying to decided if I should try my knee before I see her or wait to get her opinion.

Today Violet decided she wanted to help with the vacuuming in our living room. It was very cute to watch her with her little toy vacuum. She even set her baby up in her chair to watch.
