Catch up, catch up, catch up

lately i feel like i am constantly playing a game of catch up. i'm tired, but i really want to update this blog so it's going to happen! it will likely be more photos than anything else, but that's the only reason you check blogs anyway, right?

jack turned 4! he celebrated with a friend party at backyard adventures, and a family party at home with the grandparents. he's pretty excited to be 4.






i lucked out this year; when i asked jack what type of cake he wanted or theme for a party (expecting answers like lightening mcqueen or spider man), he said "a smiley face!" this is the answer i got several times so i went with it. wow, a smiley face is easy. given my past failures with cake decorating, i was quite happy to get an easy one.






last week both jack AND benjamin started preschool. benj is in the jump start program for 2s and early 3s like jack was last year, jack is in the 3s and early 4s program (busy bees). i didn't get a photo of jack on his first day of class, but i got one of benjamin. he's been talking about his lightening mcqueen backpack and his teachers, mrs. maxwell and mrs. vuong, for weeks. he was so excited to go. and it was fun for me to see him adjust so quickly to this big boy step, and kiss me goodbye without tears or any sign of fear. he was so into the big boy thing! he also got a big boy bed that same day, so lots of changes for the benja last week.



other fun benja photos.... he still loves being naked, and he puts together some crazy outfits.


his newest favorite obsession is the sandbox. it's the one place he'll sit occupied for more than 10 minutes. the boys have also been into knock knock jokes lately. the favorite is, "knock knock, who's there, cow, cow who? they don't HOO, they moo!" except when benj does is it, he says "cows no moo they moo!" it's fun.

and of course, i cannot fit my cutie gav. who in one month will turn one. i'm not ready! my baby! soon i will have THREE toddlers. oh my. i hope to enjoy every moment of this last month of babyhood before it disappears. lately he is starting to act like a toddler. he climbs everything. the picnic table, our chairs, the reading hut at the library....11 month old on the loose!
