oh *%@#....

well it finally happened, jack said the "f" word. not only once, but three times-oy!? i cannot claim ownership of this one though;) the person who can however, shall remain nameless (ahem, mike).
completely astonished, i calmly told jack that we do not say that word and should he say it again we would be taking money out of his piggy bank and putting it in the poor jar. when the jar is full, we would then bring it to the poor box at church. it was the best i could come up with on the fly! thankfully he has not said it since, so maybe he was just testing the waters...

here are some cute pics of jack with his trains...he has gotten so good at playing independently, especially when a certain little person isn't around to wreak havoc (we call her the human tornado:)

xxoo

could this be any cuter!!

*side note: jack was so excited for his lolly pop that it was hard to get him to stop trying to bite it and look at the camera! surprisingly he was fine with me throwing it away shortly thereafter.

jack,

i just wanted to tell you how much i love you...right now you are downstairs playing hockey with dad, and you are having so much fun. i also wanted to let you know that while i love that you have a "jersey" for every sport, if you continue to change into said jersey every time its game time, i'm going to have to teach you how to do the laundry!

love,
mama

oh the weather outside is frightful...

and we're all going a little bit crazy!?

seriously, this weather is keeping us all cooped up and thus resulting in severe boredom. so today we decided to break out the finger paints-i realize that i am a brave woman for doing so, but it gave us all something to do and made for some pretty fun pictures!



jack also got a hockey helmet this past week, and he LOVES it! he actually woke up the next morning, after sleeping with the helmet, and put it on and walked down the stairs in his helmet and pajamas!?
