Our day, part II

We never left the house today!  Just watched a lot of tv, did lots of laundry, made an awesome crock-pot chicken (email me for the recipe!!) and laid low.  The boys took monster naps and then played together before dinner.  We're hopeful Jack is over whatever he had and that Theo won't get it.  I gave Theo zofran tonight, just in case.  

One of those days

Jack woke up vomiting last night (always fun) and proceeded to throw up a couple more times after that.  Needless to say, he's staying home today.  He says he feels better now and hopefully he does (thanks Aunt Jen for the zofran from Corinne, you were right, always good to have on hand).  We've been laying low this morning since we were up a lot last night.  Here's Theo zoned out watching MM clubhouse and eating breakfast and then Jack hamming it up for the camera in his daddy's old helmet. 

Feeding the ducks

We have a big pond in our subdivision that is filled with hungry ducks.  These ducks are getting more and more bold!  They greeted us at the boardwalk before I could even get close to the pond.  Theo loves the ducks and has started pointing and saying "da".  He sits contently as brother feeds the ducks.  Jack sits up high on a table now after some very hungry ducks tried to take food from his hands a couple of weeks ago.  Theo's friend, Andrew, joined us for some fun.  The ducks sure loved all of our moldy bread from pre-Gustav!

Jack's special day

Today was the big day!  Jack and I took his poster to school.  I had planned for him to wear his Team Corinne shirt however it's MIA (I'm thinking it got left behind at Mimi's), so Saint's jersey it was.  Jack loved sharing his poster with his classmates and even got to bring a favorite book from home for his teacher to read during circle time.  I took Jack out for a snoball after school to conclude his special day.  What fun!

Theo's portraits

This is just a tease....  they turned out soooo cute that I really don't know how I'll ever decide which ones to print.   The files are huge and it's a pain to re-size, so this is all you'll get here.  Wish you could see more huh???

Class helper

Each child gets assigned a job for the week in Jack's class.   Jack's job this week is to feed the class pet, Zazu.   He showed me how he feeds Zazu his/her (?) food.  Jack was the weather helper last week.  It's really cute to see how proud he is of each job.  Yea Jack!!!

Bye Bye Billy Ray

Theo was looking a little "mulletish" and the curl I was so hoping for just wasn't happening.  The small amount of curls that sprouted didn't counteract the shaggy appearance of his hair.  I took him to a local place that has a firetruck for the kids to sit in during the haircut.  Theo loved it and sat contently the whole time.  Ms. Nancy was very sweet and worked quickly.  She even saved his hair for me.  Jack joined in on the fun and got a haircut after Theo.  When did my boys get so big???
