Way Back Wednesday

Today is picture day for the big boys. It was also picture day on this date way back in 2014 - the year Jason insisted he wear a tie!

He's trying it on and is quite pleased with the look!

Election Day

Jason had learned all about the recall election in school, so we watched the news together while we waited for the results. It didn't take long for the race to be called, but it was so much fun to have some very grown up conversations about the election itself with my all of a sudden very grown up kid.

It's hard to wrap my mind around the fact that my all of a sudden very grown up kid will be voting in elections, himself, in a few short years. Not sure how that happened? I keep swearing he was born yesterday!

Impressive Feat!

Jason had a bolt break on his walker today while he was at school. He called Isaac, who managed to go to the school, grab Jason and the walker, head to Home Depot, find a new bolt, fix the walker, and get Jason back to school in under an hour. 

I'm pretty impressed!

Jason is lucky he has his very own super hero to come save the day!

Lazy Day

It's funny how little we've been doing on the weekends since school started. I think we're all pretty much peopled out by the time the weekend gets here, so we are content to hang out around the house.

Jack went outside to play in the pool for a bit today, so that was something. The other two spent some time playing iPads.

Before we know it, the weekend is over and we're getting ready for school the next day. It goes so fast!

Cute Kid Saturday - Way Back Edition

The Dynamic Duo, this week in 2016 - back when they tolerated each other a lot better than they do now. LOL.

Friday Five

The third week of school is in the books. Yay! I think we are falling into a groove, too, which is nice.

The big boys had their Back to School Night this week. Unfortunately it was on the same night as mine, so we didn't get to go. They did, however, get to enjoy their first minimum day of the year though! They really liked that. lol

Jack continues to enjoy eating as much Jell-o as we will make for him. I don't know what turned him on to it (because for a long time, he didn't care for it), but he now wants to try all the flavors he can. lol

Gracie decided that she would hop on Shawn's bed this week and let him pet her there. This is HUGE. I think Shawn has worn her down. He loves to go give her a rub and some kisses, so I guess she's finally decided she needs to return the favor. 

Shawn could care less why she is doing it, though. He is just enjoying her loving on him.

We planted some more beans and peas in our garden a few weeks ago. They are doing so well! It is so exciting to see them thriving this time around. Last time, they fizzled out and died on us.

Missing Grandma

Tonight we did a lot of talking about grandma. Jack wanted to know where she is and why she died. He wanted to see her...

2016

We ended by saying that maybe she'd visit him in his dreams tonight. I sure hope she does. 💜
