spring art show, t-ball opener and some funnies...

i'm not even going to rationalize or explain the fact that i haven't updated in forever. i just haven't...my life isn't my own at the moment, and the fact that jack has made it to school on time every day is a near miracle!?

things have been a little hectic, but with lots of help from my dad and mike stepping it up in the mornings, we are in a groove. of course that doesn't mean it is a frantic rush out the door;)

jack finished up hockey, had a month break and is now onto t-ball. he had his first game this past weekend, and didn't tackle a single teammate! for those that got to watch a game last year, this is a big improvement-lol. it wasn't as if jack was the only one tackling, but it seems that their mentality was that they needed to dive on top of the ball regardless of who was there first!? here's hoping he will actually learn how to play the game and we don't have to yell to stop tackling his teammates from the sidelines this season!

we also had his annual spring art show at ridge hill this weekend. jack did a phenomenal job. actually, the teachers did an amazing job working with the kids and teaching them about different mediums and artists. jack would come home each day and tell me who he learned about and why they were notable. he was very excited to show us his work, and i'm obviously biased, but he did a great job!

i'll leave with a quick funny, mostly because i want to document it, but also because if you're aware of jack's "brothers" (eric & schroeder), you will certainly get a kick out of this.

quick backstory: i was waiting to here back from the dr. on whether or not she was going to make me trek into boston on a rainy friday with all 3 kids or if she would just call in the rx. i was talking to mike on the phone and mentioned how much it would stink if i had to drag us all in, especially given the fact that i was in a lot of pain. this was jack's reply(he was sitting next to me);

j: mom, you don't have 3 kids, you have 5(in his most "duh" voice).
me: huh?
j: actually mom, you have 7-my "brothers" and daley's "sisters"

you kinda had to be there, but it was hilarious...i'll take imaginary children any day, but i think i'd walk out the door if i had 7 kids!?
