His brothers might be sick, but

Mason couldn't be happier!

Look at all his crazy hair.

Once he makes up his mind...

There is absolutely no changing Jack's mind once it's made up about something. He recently decided that he is too big for his car bed. He wants a bunk bed and has decided that he is going to sleep on his floor in protest until we get him one. At bedtime, he pulls all of his blankets, pillow, 2 dinosaurs, and Hoppy onto the floor and makes a little nest for himself. We were planning to start looking for a new bed for him soon anyway, but we almost don't want to rush it because we don't want him to think that he can pull stunts like this and get his way.

Sick Kids

Jack and Adam both have coughs and runny noses. Right after I gave them some medicine this morning, Jack coughed and said, "It didn't work!"

He also promised not to cough if we go to church, but no way do I want to spread these germs to other kids.

Zoo Party

We went to a birthday party at the zoo today for Jack and Adam's friend Zachary.

Adam and Christopher, looking down at the fish. Adam later tried to climb that fence and jump in with the fish!


The kids were able to see some animals up close and get to pet them. They both liked the chinchilla. We had to hold Adam back from the animals- he wanted to open the cages and get them out by himself.



It was a different story with the snake. Watch Jack's reaction. After he yelled, "Aaaaaah! It's a snake!!!!", he jumped up and ran out of the room.




A tired Mommy with Mason, who hasn't been sleeping so well at night any more.


After the party, we walked thru the zoo for their "Zoo Boo," different Halloween events for the kids, including trick-or-treat.



Adam was feeling like a real monster by the end of the very long day.

Footsie

Mason's favorite new toy: his feet!
