A Little Pre-Birthday Action

We had some family in town this past weekend so we had them over for some race car cake. The only thing Jack wanted for his birthday was a race car cake. He kept asking me "Mom, is the lady making my cake? Mom, my cake done yet?" He was so excited when he saw it.

What Do You Think...

was he trying to tell me something?

Reiss is known for his silly expressions. I thought he was just being funny cause I was taking pictures. Next time I will know that this is his potty dance.

Strangers In The Night

Happy May Day

It's always been a tradition in our family to make May Day baskets for our neighbors. It was one of my favorite things to do. I thought it was so fun to sneak up on their porch and leave them a surprise without getting caught. I started this tradition with Jack this year. He thought it was so fun. He was in charge of filling the baskets with candy. I love watching him get so excited.

Here is Jack getting ready to make his first delivery. He had me cracking up! He rang the doorbell a million times so we had to sprint home. I was in sandals trying to run while carrying Jack and my camera. I'm sure it was quite a sight. When we got back home Jack says, "that was close, mom!" Ya think?!

Jack and I made cookies today for our neighbors. I let him deliver them. He kept telling me to go back home...apparently, I follow too closely. I think it's hilarious when he picks out his attire. I love this kid...even if he does tell me I talk to much.

I'm sorry but if you just don't want to eat up this little boy then you can't be normal. Just look at that silly face.

Don't Hold Back Jack

The other day little boy and I were driving in the car. I was telling him something when he cuts me off and says "You talk to much, Mom."

Wow.

BoonDocks

This week was Spring Break for my nephew, Caden. So, my sister and I took the boys to BoonDocks. Jack loved it!! They had "racers" there...he was totally in his element. I just love this kid...even when he tries my patience.

Happy Easter!

The Easter Bunny came to our house and left a mess! Yes, a mess. When Jack opened our bedroom door there was a trail of eggs leading downstairs. Oh, this bothered him. I thought for sure I would get a "MOM! THE EASTER BUNNY CAME!" Nope. I got this instead "(GASP) Easter Bunny go to time out! Mom, I show you!!! Easter Bunny made a mess!" I let him know it was okay and he finally had fun with it. He loved all the treats and little things that were left in his basket.

Jack totally posed for this picture on his own. I was cracking up.

Busy Day...

Jack decided he wanted to go on the big boy potty today. So, we did the "pee pee in the potty!" dance a lot. I couldn't believe it. I can't believe how fast he is growing. We also made our bunny cake and dyed eggs. I love having this little guy around.

Tonight

I was putting all our clothes away when I noticed all my clothes in the closet were wet. I went right to the source: Jack.

Me: Daniel Jack, why are mommy's clothes all wet?
Stinker: *with a serious look on his face* I clean mommy's clothes! You welcome!
Me: Uh, thank you. How did you wash mommy's clothes?
Stinker: I show you! Runs into the other room and comes right back with...a squirt bottle.

Me: Jack, it's time for bed. Go pick out 2 books to read. Just 2 books tonight.

Jack: 2 books okay! I get them, mom!

I skipped pages.

I'm bragging...cause I can. Jack really does amaze me. I watch him color sometimes and I am amazed at how well he stays inside the lines. He's only 2 and he does a really good job.

Baby Puppy

Jack has never been into stuffed animals. But, recently he has been in love with this puppy I got for him a long time ago. He calls him Baby Puppy. He has also become attached to Daddy Shark...it was his dad's shark when he was a little guy. They have to come with us everywhere. Seriously, it's like I have 3 kids. Well, Baby Puppy was v.e.r.y dirty. I told Jack I needed to give it a bath and put it in the washer. We had a full blown melt down. He cried, "Momma, no! Baby Puppy be scared in the washer. He will cry, mom." He ran away with the puppy. When it came time to go to bed we couldn't find Baby Puppy. I was in panic mode. I called the neighbors and asked them to check their house for this puppy. No luck. With tears and a lot of kisses Jack went to sleep. After I got him into bed I was on a mission. I was going to find that dumb thing.

Guess where I found it? Yeah, little stinker hid it!

(I don't know how to rotate the picture)

I gave Baby Puppy a bath and laid him down with Jack. I was Jack's hero the next morning. "MOM! THANK YOU FIND MY PUPPY!"
