Melts My Heart
I probably won't do this sweetness justice, but I'll give it a try for memory's sake...
Recently, Jack has started a new thing. He will come find me, grab my hand, and pull me to where he wants me. He'll then go find his father and pull him to wherever I was left. Once we are together, Jack asks to be held (usually by daddy, but I'll do in a pinch).
As soon as he is up in Isaac's arms, Jack will wrap my arms around both of them. The tighter I wrap them in my arms, the better. Jack laughs and giggles while he snuggles in and will move his face from my lips to Isaac's, making us kiss him on his cheeks.
He usually only has us do this little kiss/dance for a few moments before he is ready to get down and head off on his way. But oh man, is it the best thing while it is happening. Makes my heart melt!

WWWFH #373 and 4
Where Will We Find Him now?
It was barely audible over the sound of the television. At first, we weren't even sure if we had heard anything at all. We quieted the TV for a few moments, but we heard nothing more.
A short time later, we heard it again. It was a noise. One of them was saying something, we had no idea what. This time, Isaac got up to investigate.
"Help, I'm stuck." Ah, there it was again. It was Jack. Of course it was.
Isaac came back to get me. We both know that there is no describing the predicaments this boy gets himself into. It's better to experience that which is Jack up front and personal.
He wasn't on his bed. We knew he wouldn't be. His bug night light was glowing in the center of his room. Placed strategically in a semicircle around his bed were all of his stuffed animals. They all faced in the same direction, as if to look the under the bed.
"Help me, I'm stuck." he pleaded again.
Isaac pulled back the mattress, and we found this.
Somehow he had wedged himself between the wall and the bed frame and THEN managed to get himself up over the cross rail of the bedframe.
And yes, I went back to get the camera. People wouldn't believe me about this boy's antics unless I have visual proof. He was really broken up about me taking pictures, too, as evidenced by this picture here.
Isaac pulled the bed away from the wall, so I could help him out. The second he was able, he jumped up and declared, "I'm fwee! I'm fwee!"
Sigh.
It would have been fine had this been the only time he managed to pretzel himself between the wall and his bedframe, but no it wasn't. He did the exact same thing the very next night.
Oh this kid. He's never boring, that's for sure. :)

Three on the Bed
Three on the bed, and the little one said, "Roll over!"
"Or I'll knock you down and knee you in the ribs..."
"And make you cry and shout!"
Ahem.
In all honesty, Isaac took these pictures to capture a sweet moment of them playing together. It looks worse than it was, but I don't think "sweet" is the best term to describe the aftermath. lol

Cute Big Boy Saturday
Yesterday, the boys picked fresh oranges from our backyard. Today, they made fresh squeezed orange juice!
It was yummy, too!

Friday Five
Jack is still in pull-ups. To be fair to him, I will admit to not throwing everything into the endeavor of potty training like I did for his brothers, but still. He has proven to be a hard nut to crack on this issue.
This evening I was sitting with Jason when Jack came over and actually told me he had to go potty. On his own. Without prompting. Score!
I practically threw Jason to the floor ("MOM! That was not NICE!" Jason complained loudly. What could I do? The boy asked to pee!) as I ran for the bathroom to meet Jack.
We got to the toilet, he sat...and nothing.* Sigh. Still, I'm taking this as a positive. :)
*For the record: Yes, he has gone on the potty before, and No, I am not really worried about him potty training. As annoying and expensive as pull-ups are, they do have their benefits!
~~~
Speaking of Jack, we just had to go rescue him in room. He was pitifully calling his father, so Isaac went in to investigate.
Jack should have been in bed, but we found him under his bed wedged between the wall, the bed frame, and the floor. I have no idea how he got himself into that position because upon inspection, it does not seem like it should have been possible.
Of course our boy wonder figured it out!
~~~
The big boys have discovered the joy that is custard filled donuts. They are hooked.
~~~
Today marks the last day of the big boys' school vacation. I think they're glad to be going back, but after three weeks off, they are quite used to sleeping in now.
Monday morning should be interesting for just that reason.
~~~
Shawn has snuggled me to sleep three times this week. He has some crazy power over me! lol

The Master
The boys got a basketball hoop for Christmas. It's currently sitting in our living room because...well, just because.
Anyway, this evening, Jason grabbed the ball and was going to "school" his mom and dad. "Okay ladies and girls," he started. (Can you believe he's already starting with the trash talk?! That is pure testosterone working right there!)
"Watch the master!" he said as he threw the ball toward the hoop.
He was all put out when we chuckled after the "master" missed. ;)
