Playdate with Charlotte

The only reason that Jack wanted to go to school today was that his friend, Charlotte, was going to come home with us after school. Jack thinks I wait in the parking lot for him while he is at school, so this morning, he said that he'd wait with me. They were so cute. Jack and Charlotte talked all the way home, and Jack was happy that her car seat was next to him. Charlotte saw something outside, and Jack asked me to roll down her window so she could see it. Then when we came home, he ran to pick her out a race car to play with. It was his special race car, the one that used to be Brandon's, so Charlotte must be very special to get to play with it. :)

Jack the Photographer

Jack loves to take pictures. Here are a few of his favorite things: Daddy, Dutch and Cocoa and Frosty. (Earlier he had been in his room reading Curious George to Frosty.)

Movie Star

Jack loves to wear Daddy's sunglasses and look through his wallet for money. Two seconds after these pictures were taken, Ryan gave Jack his own wallet and sunglasses. If you look closely, you can see the traces of yellow permanent market on his forehead and blue permanent marker on his elbow. Thankfully, the red and black from his shoulder down to his toes came off a little easier.

Cabin Fever

After being cooped up for a few days, Jack had to make up for lost time. He painted with his favorite colors - red, blue and dirt. Tied a rope around the leaf blower and thought I'd like to see the "log" he caught. Then after I answered the phone, I discovered that his dumptruck needed gas (laundry detergent). I guess I should be happy that he actually put some in the wash even if it was easily 17 scoops. Daddy was nice enough to clean it up all while learning patience. :)

Mimi's Care Package

Jack and I have been sick for a few days, so we missed out on school and the SMU vs UNT game, but the good news is that we are now all caught up on Little Bear, Franklin, Little Einsteins and Backyardigans. I knew he was feeling better when he made Mimi a care package - Limes, Camera, Diego light, ball, Cranky the Crane, shoes and Hershey Syrup.

Extraaa A

If there seems to be an extra A here and there in the posts, it is because Jack took a pen and popped off all the keys on the keyboard. It took 2 days to find all the keys and proved to be a memory test of where they all go. Although it is all back together, the A key seems to be stuck. :)

Christmas Dilemma

Jack and I were talking about Christmas coming up, and he told me that he didn't like Santa - only Frosty. Hmmmm....
