Today Jacob and I joined Nana and Papa at Medieval times Dinner and tournament. It was a great time. Jacob was really excited about being knighted by the king, not to mention the sword and shield Nana bought him. Thanks Nana and Papa for a great time.

Tonight after bedtime Jacob came down complaining he couldn’t fall asleep. He wanted to stay down stairs with me and watch baseball. I told him he could watch the rest of the inning with me. He was asleep before the inning was over, so I took a picture before carrying him up to bed.

Today while heading down to see Melissa I snapped this picture of Violet. She was being so silly I didn’t think it would turn out, but when I brought it up on the big screen I loved it.

Today Jacob brought home his first bit of homework of the year. So I thought it why not use a picture of it as my picture of the day.

Today Violet meet her kindergarten teacher, to celebrate the day Melissa sent Violet a special present. Since she couldn’t be here herself I made sure to take lots of pictures. She was so excited to be starting school. Over the next couple of days she will get a taste of school, an hour tomorrow, a half day Friday before her first full day Monday. My little girl is just growing up to fast.

Today Jacob started the second grade. He’s in another split grade, this year its a 2/3 split. He seems to like the group he’s sitting with, and his new teacher. He had a great first day and I’m so proud of him. I’m working on the final edits of a letter to him I hope to have posted before I head off to bed tonight, so stay tuned.

Today the kids and I had a special job to do, we went to the Build a Bear workshop at Square on and made Melissa her own bear. Complete with a personal message from each of the kids. It was a great experience. I’ve wanted to build a bear for the kids for years, but it never seemed like the right time. Well today seemed like the perfect time. I took some pictures of the process and put together a collage of the day. The kids had a blast and are really excited about having a chance to make their own bears.

Today on the way home from the baseball game I walked pas a Taco Bell with a line in front of it. At 10pm this didn’t seem normal so I checked it out and found them giving out free samples of the new Doritos Locos Tacos. I must say they are quite taste.
