Joshua's 3rd Birthday

Josh turned 3 on Sunday. We had a Sponge Bob birthday party on Saturday at Grandma & Grandpa Patton's.

Grandpa & Grandma

Grandpa & Grandma came down to Cypress this week to help watch the boys while Jill was out of town. Their adventures included storytime, McDonalds, and for Josh a trip to Walmart. When Josh was asked what he would like to do while Jacob was at preschool he replied, "Walmart." With the weather in the mid 70's every day the boys also got to ride their bikes every day and evening. Thanks for the help Grandma & Grandpa! I hope you get to rest over the next week.

Secret Admirer

Jacob has a secret admirer from preschool! Yesterday when he got home from preschool, I went through his backpack and came across a hallmark envelope with stickers on it. When I opened it there was a folded up construction paper. Naturally, I thought that they he had made a card at school for a family member. When I asked him about it, he said that he has never seen it before. When I opened it..... well, see for yourself what it says. He says he has no idea who it is from or how it got in his backpack. He said that he was going to ask his teacher about it. I will keep you posted if it was a mistake or if he truly has a secret admirer.

April Fools

I think this is a record 3 posts in one day!

I forgt it was April fools until Jacob played a real trick on me.

Jacobs April Fools:

"Mom, lets have a piece of pie"................."April Fools Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha"

"Mom, lets put this toy in the oven and cook it"..............."April Fools Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha"

Joshua April Fools:

"There are grapes in the refrigerator"................April fools "I gotcha, Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha"

They are pretty tricky.

All grown up

Today was kindergarten round-up for the Cy-Fair school District in which Jacob will be attending Ault Elementary next year. He was so excited to see his new school and was even more excited when he saw the kids getting out of school to get on the school bus. Jacob will be riding a school bus and can't stop talking about how exciting that will be. I just don't know what mom thinks about it yet. It makes me cry to think about my baby going off to school. What will I do next year without him?

I used to be little, but not anymore.

Tomorrow I'll get up and walk out the door.

I'm going to school--it's the first time for me.

It's great to be big, but I'm scared as can be.

My tummy's in knots. Do you want to know why?

I'm thinking that maybe, just maybe, I'll cry.

When Dad leaves the school and I'm there all alone, I'm thinking that maybe I'll want to go home.

But wait--Mommy said I'll play lots of new games, and meet lots of friends

--I can learn all their names.

The first day of school, oh there's so much to do!

There's painting and books and a big playground, too.

I used to be little, but not anymore.

Tomorrow I'll get up and walk out the door.

I'm going to school--it's my first day, you see.

It's great to be big!

I'm so glad that I'm me!

Jacob the Gentleman and Fabio Joshua

Daddy went to Vegas this past weekend with some buddies and Jacob decided he wanted to play a game that they usually play together. The game is called 'The knock down hug'. Jacob told me "Mom, if you play with me I won't do it hard because I know that girls don't like getting all busted up". Thank you Jacob for being so kind! :) And yes, we played and had fun, but I am glad that dad made it home to resume play!
