journal

Jake has a journal in school. He writes in it every day (all my himself) and at the end of the month it gets sent home. Today he brought his April journal home and I love this picture.



I saw lightning!

Love his bunk bed, his window with the lightning bolt and how scared he looks.

Check!

As some of you may know, I am a list maker. I make lists for everything... to do lists, shopping lists, 6 months in advance birthday lists, etc

Of course I also have a bucket list and one of the items on there I got to check off this month. Run a Race.

Only 5k but I did it... I ran a race!

It was a lot of fun and something I definatley want to do again some day.

I am super proud of my friend who worked really hard on this and did a great job!

Easter can't come fast enough for Finn

We have a lock on our fridge AND we push a 25 gallon antique crock infront of the fridge door... everything to keep Finn out.

A few days ago Finn was playing happily in the living room/ play room and I went to use the bathroom real quick. When I got back I saw this



I pulled the lock off the fridge door, pushed the crock out of the way and one by one got a dozen eggs out.

He was sooooo proud.



I couldn't get mad, the damage was done. Instead I got my camera and took a few pictures.



While I took pictures he got a towel out and "helped" and said "no no no"



So, now I need to figure out how to keep this kid out of the fridge. Any ideas?

You know I am a Mom of boys because

there is always mud on my handsoap bottle
