Gingerbread House

Just for fun! :) I like how he starts off as Mr. Serious, then the sugar kicks in...

Jack & Lucy

Jack made quite the mess at dinner tonight, so we decided to have some pool time before bath time. He & Lucy made up a game where she dropped her frisbee in his pool & he threw it out. Jack thought this was hilarious! After that he was mimicking Lucy by rubbing his face on the grass, rolling around, trying to drink out of the pool, etc.

Jack & Mama: Day 3

Today was the best yet. I decided instead of focusing on my to do list, I would just get done what I could when I could. It was very freeing. Jack and I both woke up late & were moving pretty slow, so I decided we would make a Starbucks run. I got myself some good ol' caffeine & I got Jack a blueberry muffin. All the way home (we went through the drive through since we were still in our Pjs!) I told Jack I had a special treat for him. It was so fun to watch him get excited. He ate his muffin enthusiastically & talked to me while I drank my coffee. It was really sweet.
After that we went to the library for story time. I have never been before, so I didn't know what to expect. Jack walked in the library his exuberant self, but quickly froze & became clingy when we walked in a little room full of moms and babies. It's fun to watch him in new situations because he starts out quiet & shy as he observes everything going on. By the end though, he was in the middle of the circle showing off his jumping skills. Ha ha! The experience also reconfirmed his love for all things transportation related. At the end of story time the librarian dumped a huge bucket of toys in the middle & let the kids go wild. Jack spent the time collecting the following: a tractor, a train, a car, and a plane. I think I know the theme for his 2nd birthday! ;)
After story time we came home for lunch & nap. I was able to finish cleaning the kitchen & mop the floor, so I felt pretty productive. After that we vegged out together watching some Fresh Beat Band & eating chips and queso. Jack is obsessed with any kind of dip, so he was delighted (& yes, I forced plenty of fruits & veggies on him for dinner to make up for it!)
Next came more pool time/yard work, then bath time & bed. It was just a really fun day with my little guy!
