Harvest Festival



Jakob slept through 3/4 of the Harvest Festival (held at school), but I took him once he got up.

He didn't want to dress up as the pirate, so he wore his costume from last year (he wanted to buy the "Little Mermaid" costume earlier in the week.....). I had silver sparkles and spider clips in my hair!

We arrived when they were doing the raffles (we have no ticket!), but we got to see all of the kids dressed up. Jakob kept asking for his teacher and insisted we go to his classroom when we did not see her in the gym. He was disappointed when he saw the lights were out and the door was locked. We headed to the car and he started crying, saying he was sad that he didn't see his teacher. He said that she was sad too and that her heart was wrinkled. To cheer him up I asked him how his day was and that that I heard he and his teacher "twirled and danced around the classroom". I asked what kind of music they danced to and he said "a beautiful piece of music". So sweet.

Mr. Frank


Jakob just adores Mr. Frank (one of my Dad's good friends). He lives just down the street from us and during the summer and when my Dad isn't working crazy shifts, they walk over to see Mr. Frank. Mr. Frank helps Jake collect "special" rocks and also has treats for him. Here they are at "The Great Pumpkin Festival" held at my parents church.

I Swallowed a Rock!


So much drama on Columbus Day! Jakob was sent to his room for misbehaving and after a few minutes comes to the top of the stairs hysterical, crying "I swallowed a rock!". We freak out! He has a bucket of rocks he collects and we have no idea if it came from there or the size of the rock. He has no idea the size of the rock either. I get dressed thinking we have to go to the emergency room because my kids swallows a rock and it probably has jagged edges and he is going to injure his insides. Todd had him in the bathroom "You HAVE to throw up the rock!". Jakob was crying "I can't frow up the rock!". I call my Dad for reassurance and he ends up talking to Jake. We figure out the size of the rock and we all calm down. For whatever reason, he decided to swallow a rock from some creation my Mom made for Kaleb. *SIGH*. We reassure him the rock will come out in his poop. So, 5 minutes later he is on the potty trying "to poop the rock out" (he was pushing and making all of these obscene noises). We told him that it may be a day or two before he passes it. So every poo he does (which is like 3 a day on average) he wants us to look at it or he says "I pooping out the rock!".

My Little Baker


Jake helped me bake and decorate a cake for Charlie (from work). He insisted on doing the sprinkles all by himself. He did a great job and all of the guys enjoyed the cake!
