Caught Ya.....

Well as you can see Jackson is crazier than every, his new fun thing to do is crawl into the fridge and browse the shelves... His teacher said he has been crawling over to the door leading to the infant room next door and banging on it for someone to let him in to play.

He is also learning the word NO. He likes to crawl over and investigate the carbon minoxide monitor in the kitchen. When he starts heading over he'll pause and look back on us and grin. We tell him NO, he'll turn around and crawl a few more steps then look back and giggle...he is a little terror!

On a different note...

When I was in elementary school around xmas time we used to have this thing called " Santa's Workshop." Bacially mom and dad would send us to school with cash and we'd have the opportunity to do some shopping.

A few things I remember purchasing for mom are some fabulous sparkle stick on earrings, because every woman in their 40's needs stick on earrings. I also remember buying mom this beautiful blue tray with geese on it. The tray was probably about eight inches big...what does one do with an eight inch tray? But mom kept this tray on the top of the oven for years, I'm sure she still has it, right mom?

Things I remember getting dad are a book on bird watching, a pencil holder that looked like a mouse, and of course my clown pictures.

I think its really cute when little kids go shopping for their parents to see what they pick out.

I can't wait to take Jackson shopping for Anthony. I hope he picks out a really funny looking tie or sweater and insists daddy wear it!!!

NO, he doesn't open it himself but when it opens now you can hear heavy breathing and see him book it towards the fridge with a big smile.

My little cutie, I think his bum is cute.

I think most moms love that stuff. I still have all the ones my kids have made me over the years.

Jackson is way too cute. Him and Callum will have a last together.
