I only made him sing it 3x today...

Tonight the husband and I went and had this AWESOME dinner at The Melting Pot...it was 80's night...all the staff was dressed up...the price was cheaper...it was awesome. We came home and Mimi had put the boys to bed...Super Q was conked out on the couch, but J was still up. I gave him hugs, kisses, and snuggles like I do every night...I assumed he'd go to sleep. Nope....that little boy was up nearly 45 mins later...he asked if he could sing me a song...how could I resist that?

He told me that Ms. Scott (the student teacher) had been the one to teach them this song (maybe I can figure out how to video tape it and put it up on youtube--cause the little actions that go with it are priceless). It went something like this...

I'm gonna wrap myself in paper
I'm gonna dab myself with glue
Stick some stamps up on my head
I'm gonna mail myself to you

So cute...I made him sing it 3x before he went to bed. I mean seriously HOW am I expected to pass that up?!?!!!??!?!!?

Spare Change...

I am participating in a swap at Chickpea Studio called Spare Change. We are sending in 24 5x5 squares to swap...I'm pretty psyched to do this cause I cant wait to make a quilt for myself. I dont make a lot of stuff for ME...so now I have to find the PERFECT fabric to send in....off to shop!

He went straight from baby...to a man

My first son, god bless him, is still a boy. He runs and plays, but he is still a boy-he always comes home to mama. The other one...he went straight from baby to man. Actually I'm pretty sure that he makes this change daily. Sometimes he's the sweetest little baby...and then...the man. He burps (on command no less!) and stares at girls. He doesnt listen to me...he does things just to spite me. He's 3!!!!!!! We've said a thousand times, the 2nd one is the devil...and I mean it. I never thought I'd love the devil this much.

My mom always said....

My mom always said that I should write down all the things my kids say. She says I could write a book based on that. Where would I find the time? Jackson is getting so smart that sometimes I wish those backwards funny little sayings (jack-isms) would come back. But to the rescue is Quinn...he is FULL of chubba-isms. And sometimes he's so logical. More to come...I swear.

Oh dear, long lost blog...

Dear blog,

Lovingly yours,

Jess
