Now, on to Friday...
You know the drill by now. It's Friday and I'm sharing five of my favorite things from the week...with a twist. I had a complete post dedicated to Kendall's Sweet Sixteen birthday, Jentry "guest posted" for me a few weeks ago, so today's post is all about Jess. That kid is witty and smart! He keeps us on our toes, for sure So, here you have it; five funny things Jess did this week.
ONE
Easter bunnies everywhere! Last Saturday morning the kids were playing upstairs, when it got quiet...then I heard giggling. Jess giggled the whole time he walked down the stairs! Apparently, he went through Jentry's closet and found the bunny costume Jentry wore for Halloween when she was ONE. It fit Jentry a little different when she wore it.
TWO
Jess found this bugle in Mark's parents garage Saturday afternoon. He actually caught onto it pretty fast. It occupied him for a good twenty minutes. Thank goodness it did not come home with us, though. Those are good things to keep at Grandma's house.
THREE
I took this picture of Jentry that same day and thought she looked so cute, then I noticed Jess...doing yoga or something in the distance. What? It was the day before Easter, though, and his shadow does make a perfect cross. Maybe he was just reflecting on the resurrection.
FOUR
Yesterday we had a Mommy & Jesse day! He had a field trip in the morning with his preschool, that I tagged along on, then we spent the afternoon together...just us. We started with a picnic in the park. We were trying to decide what to do the rest of the day when Jess said, "We should go to every park in the town!" So, we did (thank goodness we live in a small town). Who am I to stand in the way of a little boy's dreams?
FIVE
My cousin bought my kids these nifty eggs for Easter, that you soak in water and then a toy baby chick or rabbit "hatches" from the egg. When Jess' hatched he said, "Oh man, it's a girl. I wanted a boy!" I hesitantly asked him how he knew it was a girl...hoping this wasn't the start of an anatomy discussion and he replied, "because she totally has girl eyes!" Whew, that was a close one!
Speaking of eggs...that moment your dad gives you a hard boiled Easter egg and you bite into it thinking it's candy.
Linking up with these fabulous bloggers....
A mommy & jesse day sounds wonderful!! I'm going to have to keep those special eggs in mind for next year - I think those are so cool that transform and then a baby chick came out - how sweet! Have a great weekend! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteThey loved them!! It took 2 days to "hatch" but they loved watching it!
DeleteYou have two adorable bunnies! My kids love to dress up in their old costumes even if they fit a little less than they used to :) And I will be trying that cheesy pesto chicken for sure! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cat! Halloween costumes are a good investment if they wear them over & over. I hope you'll try the chicken & let me know what you think.
DeleteLove the bunny costume pictures!! One summer our mission was to go to every park in McKinney and I think we only made it to 5 or 6. We are always on the lookout for a fun park. Have a great weekend!
