(Almost) Wordless Wednesday

Hands down I have the cutest Auburn galoshes, baseball underwear, cowboy hat, pirate hat, Batman cape wearin’ kid that ever was!

He Said What???

Jeremy went to pick Jackson up from school yesterday and had the most interesting conversation with Jackson's teacher, Mrs. Deanna.

Mrs. Deanna: "We were talking about policemen today and Jackson told me about the time that you had to call the police to help get him out of a tree."

Jeremy: "Ummm.....excuse me?"

Mrs. Deanna: "Yeah, he told us that he had climbed into a tree and he got way too high and got stuck, so you had to call the police to come help. The policeman couldn't help so he called the firemen and then the firemen came out to your house. Jackson told me they brought the ladder truck and as they were raising it it was making a 'ssssshhhhhhh' sound. When they got the ladder up, the firemen climbed the ladder and got him out of the tree."

Jeremy: "I hate to tell you this, but that's a bedtime story Jackson's heard."

As Jeremy was telling me this story I was dying laughing. I immediately knew this was a "Reroy" story, but Jeremy told me that Mrs. Deanna was more than a little concerned about the thought of Jackson getting stuck in a tree.

And just think, he's only three years old. Imagine what he's going to come up with when he's a teenager!

Which way should it go?

I went to my 2nd art class last night and had a blast. Wanna see what I painted? Sure you do because I need your advice. We don't know which way we want to hang the painting. It is a swirly painting, so there really isn't a right or wrong way to hang it. It is going in our bedroom, and although the colors seem unusual together at first, they go amazingly well with our comforter set (which was the whole point!). So take a peek and let me know which way you think it should hang.

Or...

I've got a snazzy little poll going up on the right side of the screen. Pretty please help a girl out! Any thoughts????

He took the words right out of my mouth...

Every night after bath time we get Jackson lotioned up and dressed in his pajamas,and then we blow dry his hair. If his hair doesn't get dried, he ends up looking like a wooley booger in the morning. You might even think that we brushed his hair with a brillo pad.

So last night was Jeremy's night to dry Jackson's hair. He sat there unusually still and when he was done Jeremy spun him around to check himself out in the mirror.

Jackson's words as he looked in the mirror: "I look like such a handsome little boy."

Yes you do, little man. Yes you do...

Tiger Woods, here he comes!!

Jackson is a golfer for Halloween this year. Think Payne Stewart meets size 2T clothing and you've got the idea. He is so stinking cute. We got him to wear the outfit, but he REFUSES to wear the hat. Last night we got him all dressed up for church wearing his costume. All the kids were going to trick-or-treat around the tables after Wednesday night supper. I got home and tried to start getting Jackson ready. Let's just say that it ended up taking 2 adults to get 1 toddler into his costume. He was pitching a fit! He kept saying "TAKE IT OFF!!" Finally with enough encouragement (i.e. bribing him with enough candy) we were out the door to go to church. Once we got there, and he figured out that all he had to do was walk up to people to get candy, he was all about it. The turn around in attitude was immediate! Now, if only Jeremy and I had remembered to put the candy out of sight before going to bed last night, maybe we wouldn't have had to reason with a toddler this morning as to why he had to eat his grits before he could get a sucker. Lesson learned!

In Case You Ever Wondered...

Today is my 28th birthday. We started it off by forgetting to set the alarm clock last night and I woke up 30 minutes later than normal, but somehow I still managed to get to work only 5 minutes late. Go figure...

Tonight we eat at Mellow Mushroom. I can't wait!

Just so you know...

New and most funnest stage of parenting yet....

This morning Jeremy was taking his shower and I was trying to catch 5 more minutes of sleep when I heard Jackson waking up over the baby monitor. I walked into his room and he was still laying down, but was looking around the room. When he spotted me walking into his room, my sweet baby boy's first words of the day were, "Mommy go away. I want Daddy."

Sigh. It's so nice to be needed...
