ice skating!

jack has been dying to get out on the ice. he absolutely loves hockey, and if he's going to play i suppose learning to skate is the first step! who better to take him out on the ice than uncle timmy, and daddy of course! they went yesterday, and jack had a blast. here are some fun pictures from the day...

just for fun:)

jack and i had some time to play outside the other day while d was napping. you know we played a little hockey, frisbee, basketball...you name a sport and we were probably playing it!? i did catch jack attempting to climb this tree in my parent's front yard--he saw uncle greg do it so now of course he has to do it too (umm, thanks greg, hope you're paying for the inevitable er visit;)

never a dull moment...

a jack funny:)

he went to the bathroom this morning, and his new thing is that he has to close door, because to put it in his words, he needs some privacy!? anyway, he had been in there for a while and i heard the water running, so daley and i decided to go and check on him. i opened the door and jack looks up at me with bubbles all over his face...i asked him what was up, and he looks at me and said "mom, i just wanted to see how soap tastes!?" he had decided to eat the hand soap and he quickly decided that it didn't taste good and could i please go get him some water-lol!?

oh the joys!

"let's get bowling!"

you can really insert just about any sport into that phrase these days with jack. he is absolutely sports obsessed!? ironically, while mike and i both love sports, we really didn't purposely influence jack in any way. he took to them on his own and i have to say he is pretty good at some of them for being three!

however, we took jack bowling for the first time over the weekend, and he loved it! mike and jack played, while i took pictures (i am admittedly not a good bowler and the competitive person that i am doesn't like to lose so i gracefully bowed out;). it was really fun and jack thought he won every turn, which was so cute as he went around high "fiveing" us!

here are some cute pics...and you may be surprised by the final score!

mike is probably going to kill me for posting this shot, but i couldn't resist:)

technically jack had a bumper, but he is only 3 and mike is 33!?

happy halloween!

i'm ashamed to admit that in all the craziness of getting the kids out the door for trick or treating, i got one lame picture of...super jack!

he looked so cute in his little superhero cape:)



we also went to sunnyside farms earlier in the day to ride "thomas." it was freezing and dreary, but jack had a fun time and was just mesmerized by the trains they had set up...
