We are finally making a trip to Disneyland in February and the kids love to talk about it. Last night Abigail was saying "I can't wait to ride the teacups and the Dumbo ride!" Jackson said "I can't wait to ride the elephants and the giraffes!".

Last night at dinner Abigail want to go around and say what you are thankful for. She said she was thankful for "lights, houses and tv." Jackson said he was thankful for "motorcycles, gloves and helmet.".

Jackson crashed one afternoon after not getting his nap. He did move his arm though so he was breathing don't worry!

Abby wanted to hold him all day. I think Justin was getting a little tired of it though!

Here is Jackson and his new baby cousin Justin. Or as he calls him "Jacob's baby".

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving with the family. Abigail learned about Pilgrims and Indians at school. I just overheard this conversation with her brother.

A: "Do you know what an Indian is?"
J: "no, what?"
A: "It's a guy that's brown. Do you know what Dad half is?"
J: "No."
A: "He is half Indian, because he's brown."

Kindergarten

Abigail has really been enjoying kindergarten. Although for a few days she told me it was "stressing her out" it seems to have settled down. We were getting home from school the other day though and she was telling me all the math she's learning, and all the words she can read. I said "boy kindergarten is sure making you smart" and she said "Yeah Mom it's learning me up!". (Ok so they aren't working on grammar yet.)

soooo, tired.

Jackson was up all night last night. First he delayed going to sleep for an hour or so. This is how the night went.....

after taking all of his toys to bed he started yelling "maaaaaaoooom, maaaaaooooommm" in a sing-song voice, so I went in there, "I need to kiss sissy", so he kissed sissy, 10 minutes later, "maaaaooommmm", "yes jackson", "I was thinking". "what were you thinking" "I want a skateboard", ok that's really important at 9:00. 10 minutes later "maaaaaaaaoooom", "jackson, you need to go to sleep", "but mom I have a great idea" "what's that" "how about you turn on the light" "no Jackson, go to sleep". etc.

Abigail looked at her halloween picture and said "MOM! is that how beautiful I looked?!?".

I just had to post this pic. It's the best one we've gotten of Jackson in awhile because when you try to take his picture he closes his eyes and won't look at you.

Tuesday, November 13th

Hello all,

Today was a normal day around our house. Abigail is becoming more and more concerned about fashion and her "look". Today before she ate lunch I told her to run and change her shirt from school so she didn't get anything on it. She came back in with a turquoise shirt on and her jeans. She stopped and said "Mom, do I have too much blue going on here?".

Ever since Jackson got rid of his binky he has taken to using other items to go to sleep. As he walked down the hall towards his bedroom for nap today he had his blanket, 2 toy guns, a car, and his pirate eye patch. In his bed already he had a toy phone and his football helmet. How the kid ever sleeps I don't know. Last night he went to sleep with his camo "hunting hat" on and sunglasses! So normal at our house might not be so "normal".

The kids had a fun halloween as Cinderella and a Football Player!

My funny little man.

I decided to start this blog because I often find myself laughing at the things my children say and do and thinking I should write that down! Well hopefully this will help me write those down more often and share them with you all. I'd just like to share the daily happenings of our laugh and maybe some giggles we have along the way.

The other day after dropping Abigail off at school Jackson and I were making our way back to the car slowly as usual. He has his own pace (slow) and often likes to stop and "smell the roses" so to speak. So this day was like all the others and I was not so patiently waiting for him to catch up with me so I turned around to see where he was. He was stopped under a tree with his hand on his head looking up at the tree and he said "OH, Man!"

Me: "What happened Jackson??"
Him: "that tree watered on me"
Me: "It did!"
Him: "Yeah that tree was jokin"
Me: "Was it?"
Him: "Yeah it was FREAKIN ME OUT!"

Needless to say I had a chuckle all the way back to the car.
