Jenga

In the past two weeks I have gotten the flu and a bad cold(which I am home from work today with). Since I have been stuck on the couch with a pillow and blanket, Jack has gone from building towers and fences with our Jenga blocks to actually playing the game. It's true. In an attempt to try and do something adult like while being stuck at home, watching nothing but scooby doo and Tom and Jerry, I decided to stack the jenga blocks teach him how to play. I was so surprised that Jack actually wanted play. I was even more surprised that he was actually pretty good at this game and how swiftly he pulled out each piece. Further proof that this child is mine!

Wall-e

Another first for jack on Saturday. My friend Meredith had e-mailed us about and event that was going on saturday and we decided to jump on the bandwagon. The even was the movie Wall-e at the Cameo, popcorn and a drink, all we had to do was bring some can good to help donate to the local food pantry. We thought this would be a great opportunity to see if Jack was ready for a movie. we decided we really wouldn't feel too bad if we had to leave, but he did awesome. I could not believe my busy little boy actually sat for the length of a whole movie. it was so fun. jack even got the full movie theater effect by eating gummy worms, which was the highlight of the whole expierience.

What we have been up to...

The picture of the motley crew above was taken from my Nana's 80th birthday party. Sure everyone is looking in different directions and it may be a little lopsided but that is our family. Everyone seems to keep up with 2 or 3 conversations while trying to slow down a little one zooming by. It was so good to see everyone including some of my cousins that I haven't seen in quite literally years. The great thing about seeing these cousins that I haven't seen in what has been too long, is that we seem to be able to pick right up where we left off. Ans may I say that my Nana and Papa both looked absolutely pleased to have everyone(we were missing a few) in one spot.
