Napping

Ty's not going to love this post when he sees it, but I just had to share this picture:

When Ty naps, he has to cover his "light sensors," which just means he wraps his head in a blanket so it's nice and dark. After seven years of marriage, I still get the biggest kick out of seeing him like this!

Bedtime Story

Sometimes bedtime stories get a little crazy at our house.

Pretend Birthday

Jack's preschool has a really cute idea of celebrating pretend birthdays for all the kids whose real birthdays are in the summer months. Jack's really isn't, but because it was in the Fall and he's only been going to preschool since January, they celebrated his this week. 

Jack chose to sit with the girls for the party :)

Also, one of the moms volunteered in Jack's class several weeks ago and took all these cute pictures. I think it's so fun to see what Jack is doing when I'm not around.

States PJ's

Last week, my mom and I were shopping at Hobby Lobby and we passed some fabric that had pictures of all 50 states and their capitals on it. Of course, Jack fell in love with it. He picked the bolt up and started walking over to the fabric cutting counter. Our conversation went something like this:

"Mom, I'll ask the lady to cut it and you can pay for it!"
"Jack, not today. C'mon we need to go."
"But you could make me a quilt with it! Let's buy it.
"You already have too many quilts. C'mon, let's go."
"But I need some pj's.
"Well, your birthday is coming up. Maybe I'll get you some on your birthday."
(Looking at my Mom) "But Mimi could get it for me and make pj's!"

So, that ended the struggle and the very next day Jack had new state pj's made by Mimi:

Mom had a little leftover fabric and made Raffe some pj bottoms, too.

It's going to be a struggle for me to get these in the washing machine. Jack's worn them every night this week. Thanks, Mom!

Swim Season!

Swim season has officially started. The water is still pretty cold, but Jack doesn't seem to mind. He likes to surprise me by sneaking off to his room and putting on his swimsuit whenever he wants to get in the pool--even if it's 8 am. Funny kid.
