Oh Jack.......

You've all seen those kids that pick their nose and then...... eat their boogers. Ugh, makes me gag just to write that. Well, Jack has developed this fun little habit and Dave and I are doing our best to break it. Fear not! I caught him doing this this morning and off to time out he went. GROSS. This picture looks much sadder than it was, promise. Jack played with his brother before we left for school..... untraumatized. Let's see if it keeps him from being a gross boy next time though.

Boy power

Tank and Luke came over for dinner tonight. Jennifer and I were outnumbered by boys! 5 of them and only 2 of us. They brought over some special car-shaped cakes that they had made earlier today. Even Theo got one (and really enjoyed it!). Jennifer read all of the boys a Spiderman book before they left. Thanks for coming over Jennifer!!!

I took Jack with me to church tonight to fill food baskets for the families that our church adopted for Thanksgiving. I didn't bring the camera, so sorry for no pictures. Just wanted to document that Jack was such a big help moving around the food. We worked on matching the labels of the food to the labels on the tables where they belonged. He has come with me to do this since he was 9 months old and I hope he grows up to know the importance of helping others.

Brotherly love

Jack has had a breakthrough with Theo these past few days. Now that Theo walks and can play some simple games, Jack thinks he's pretty cool. He actually told me that Theo shared with him today and that he likes Theo now! They're truly Mutt and Jeff now!

Jack's school picture

OMG, does it get any cuter than this??? And how old does he look here? Not 3!!!!

My turkey

Poor little Theo spiked a high fever last night and I'm keeping a watchful eye on him today. We've been taking it easy and indulging in some of his favorite shows, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Imagination Movers. I sat him on the couch last night and he felt so badly that he stayed there! Poor fella. Here he is today before his nap doing the same pose as last night. I also had to include a pic of how he crosses his sweet feet when he sits in his booster chair. Talk about something that I'll miss years from now......

Zoo

We're on day ??? of no daddy and I'm doing my best to keep the boys busy. Jack really misses his dad and asks when he'll be back :( We met up with Tank and Luke today at the zoo. Their dad just took a job in Houston and their mom is going to be on her own as well (until their house sells at least). It was a gorgeous day and Jack had so much fun with his friends. Tank and Luke really let Jack just be a boy and have fun doing the things boys do best- running, jumping, climbing and exploring! The boys got to touch an elephant. I did too and they are very hairy! Theo was NOT pleased to be confined to the stroller (flashback to yesterday's 5k) so I let him explore a bit. He's still a little unsteady so he crawled more than he walked in the play area while Jack was busy playing. Both boys took a brief nap on the ride home. The Causeway bridge will put anyone to sleep though!!
