happy halloween

i'm lame
i was horrible about taking pictures on halloween.
jackers decided on being a ghost buster...way better than a swamp creature.
*he'll even sing you the theme song*





jack wanted a scary jack-o-lantern
nate was in charge of that for him

soccer

okay, i had to find something to burn jacks energy. the kid has an insane amount of energy.
however, during most of the game, jack was either talking to the coach or busting out some break dance moves. nate and i would constantly be telling him, "jack, help your team. go after the ball."
after every game the coach would tell me how funny jack was during the game. he would go up to them and say things like:
i like my red soccer shirt.
thanks for being my coach.
thanks for letting me be on your team.
hey, watch this...(and do a funky move)


uh, no way is a ball getting past this kid.





break it down, jack!

the kid is funny

just a few randome conversations that i've had with jack. i wanted to make sure i had them down somewhere...so i can use them against him someday.





jack: (crying) mommy, i'm just so upset.


me: why are you so upset, jack? you were just laughing a minute ago.


jack: you love nate more than me. you kiss both of us and i just want you to kiss me. you snuggle with nate and you never snuggle with me.


me: oh my word, jack. you're so funny. i love you both. yes, i do kiss nate and that's okay. and pretty sure i snuggle you every day...all day long.


jack: well, i want to sleep with you. why does nate get to sleep with you? he's so lucky.


me: cause that's what you do when you get married. one day when you have a wife you will have someone to sleep with too.


jack: (freaking out) no, i don't want a wife. I want you to be my wife. mommy, will you be my wife when i grow up.


me: uh, okay.


jack: thank you, mommy. will you snuggle me? you're so warm. you're the hottest mommy i know.











jack: mommy sometimes you tease me and say, "jack, there's a mouse (scream)!"


me: oh, i'm just teasing. it's okay.


jack: (without missing a beat he picks up The Berenstain Bears Trouble with Teasing book) do you see this book? teasing is nasty!! you shouldn't tease, mom!!!!!!


me: (seriously, what could i say? he had me) you're right, jack. i'm sorry. i won't tease you anymore.

jack was in the shower just now yelling for me. he said he was ready for me to help him wash his hair. it told him i would be in there in a second. he hollers for me again. then he starts laughing. hard. i go in there and it is wet...everywhere.

me: jack! what on earth happened in here?!
jack: (he looks at me like "duh, you don't know?) i was just playing waterpark.

cute tush

last week we went to the pumpkin patch with my brother and his family. jack was dirrrrtay. when we pulled in to the garage he told me he wanted to take a shower. i said sure thinking he meant later on that night. nope. he came right in and got butt naked. i told him to give me a few minutes and then i would turn on the shower. he was running around like a wild man.

me: jack you gotta cute tush.
jack: (puzzled with his arms in the air) you think my tush is cute?
me: yeah, i do.
jack: but it toots.

children's museum

jack had a good time at the museum.
they had a tornado simulator that he thought was great! he had to get in it a couple times.









jack wants to be an "animal doctor" so he thought this was amazing. he loved it.

me: jack, we are going to go to the store in just a little bit.
jack: mommy, i want to get a toy.
me: no. jack do not even ask for a toy. you are not going to get one.
jack: (melt down) but, i just really want a buzz lightyear gun. the one like caden and reissy got at disneyland.
me: sorry it's not going to happen. christmas is coming. if you get all the toys you want now santa won't be able to bring you anything. how sad. honestly, jack, you have a room full of toys that you don't even play with.
jack: (crying even harder) mom, i only have 2 hands (shows me his hands) i can't play with all my toys at the same time.
me: i'm not asking you to play with all your toys at the same time. play with some today and play with some tomorrow.
jack: you're the meanest mommy i ever saw!
me: yes, thank you. i must be doing my job.
jack: mommy, do you remember when caden spilled the milk on the table?
me: seriously? i swear, you're so random.

the funny things...

he says

*this picture cracks me up. he can make the most random faces*


i took jack to the park the other day. he was running around like a wild man. i had put two shirts on him because it was pretty chilly. but, by the time we got back in the car he was dripping with sweat. so, i told him to take off the long sleeved shirt before we left. his response? "(gasp!) mom, what if someone sees my pecs?!"


the 3 of us were in the car going somewhere the other night. nate and i told jack that we should make a paper chain so we could count down the days until thanksgiving when he gets to see nana. we told him that every night he could take off one link. when he got to the very end it was time to go see nana. without missing a beat jack says, "what if i just take them all off at the same time? then it will be time to go to nanas!" clever.
