Jack

Today Jack says at the lunch table, "Mrs. Stephanie is sick. She is old and alone. Who is going to take care of her? Cook for her?" Amelia piped in with, "We could give her food!" So we made Mrs. Stephanie some chicken soup and gave her some tea.
When we took it to her, Mrs. Stephanie came to the door and promptly said, "I'm a big germ."
I told her that's all right. Jack handed her the bag of soup and tea then ran off. It wasn't a big ceremony just here.

Happy Birthday Jacob

Jacob turned 7! Lucky  number 7! For his birthday he got several presents. His favorite present was the bb gun rifle that we bought him. After he opened it he kept hugging me saying thank you.  Uppa and Umma got him a gun safe which he also loved.
For his birthday dinner he wanted to go to a Mexican restaurant so he could wear a sombrero and be sung too.
The best part of Jacob is his loving nature. He is such a good boy. I love being his mom and can't wait to see him grow into a man.

Jack

Here are some samples of Jack's writing from kindergarten. You can see he has included the major topics of his life so far tornadoes, his family and Robin, his cat.

These two pictures go together. A story about a fire breathing dragon complete with illustration.

This is our family on Halloween. Jack's red ninja costume, Jacob's Christmas tree, me in my coat and Amelia in her bat girl costume.

                             Jacob drew a picture of our family, an elf and Santa in a turbo jet today.

Jacob and Amelia

Jacob and Amelia are good buds. Today Jacob read Amelia two books. As he read she started bouncing around a bit. He told her she needed to sit still so she could see the pictures; she of course obliged.

Jack

On Sunday I took the boys to the African Children's choir concert. For the most part both boys liked the concert; what took place after is note worthy.
Jack for some reason decided to stick his hand up a Coke vending machine. He of course then got it stuck. I didn't see him do it but I did look over to see Jacob trying to pull his arm out and Jack screaming in pain. I go over to see if I can help him but by then he is crying from having his arm pulled on. Next Tom and Vicki come over and then Justin Mitchell. Jack is so upset I couldn't do anything but give him space but here he is crying with his hand stuck in a Coke machine!
I was wondering how we were going to get his hand out, call the vending machine place, the police?
Justin however stuck with Jack, talked with him, shown a flashlight around and then poof Jack's arm comes out. Jack says something clicked and his arm came out. Who know's what happened but I am glad it did.
His arm only had some deep creases and redness from the pressure of the vending machine; no cuts luckily.

America's Funniest Videos

It is so funny to watch America's Funniest Videos with the boys. They think it is so funny! Jack just howls with laughter over the dumbest videos. Of course Dada thinks it funny so they all just have a ball watching it.
