Finger Painting

We let Jaxson finger paint yesterday (after we made sure that everything was covered in paper and he was naked). 
At first he was really good at just dipping the paint brush in the paint and dabbing it on to the paper (no mess!!!).

And then he got some on his hands accidently and wiped it on his [...]

Road Tripping again

Today we are heading to Michigan to spend Thanksgiving with Grandma Karls.  And we are driving!!!  EEK. 
Cross your fingers that this road trip turns out well.  We were originally gonna leave around 5pm and drive through the night but we have reconsidered this strategy because when we do this WE never get to sleep.  Jaxson ends up [...]

Never too early for Christmas

This past weekend we put up our Christmas decorations because we would normally put them up over Thanksgiving weekend but we will be out of town.  So we put them up a bit early.  We did it when Jaxson was napping and when he woke up he was very surprised.  He came out of his [...]

Last day

Today was Jaxson last day at daycare.  Well actually yesterday was because he does not go to daycare on friday–but today we went and cleaned out his basket and said goodbye to all the teachers.  I almost shed a tear because when we pulled up in the parking lot, Jaxson said “school–yay” and then we [...]

My CVS obsession

I am going to let you all in on a little secret obsession that I have.  CVS.  I love this store.  And I mean LOVE this store.
I am actually addicted. 
Every week I get the Sunday paper and immediately grab for the CVS ad.  I see what is on sale, what purchases will give me ECB’s [...]

Traumatic shower

This story is too funny that I just had to share. 
Yesterday Jaxson was taking a shower with Jeremy while I was in the office working.  Well, I hear Jeremy yell “Shay!!!!”.  So as I am running to the bathroom I start to hear Jaxson crying.  I am thinking the worst things–like Jaxson slipped and hit his [...]

Finally back to normal

The whole time change thing really threw Jaxson thru a loop.  He just could not get his body adjusted to sleeping in.  He adjusted fine with going to bed at normal time but 6am would roll around and Jaxson would be up and ready to go.  Urgh.  So annoying.  We tried everything to get him to sleep [...]

Philly weekend

This weekend we headed to philly with Sarah, Greg and Charlie for a wedding and had a blast.   A friend from college let us stay at her house while we were in town and I don’t think she knew what she was getting into by having  all of us stay at her house (four adults and two toddlers) [...]

He got beat up by a girl.

Today at daycare Jaxson apparently got in a fight…with a girl.  He was playing with a toy and she decided she wanted it so she went over and attempted to grab it away from Jaxson.  Well Jaxson apparently held his ground and would not let go.  So the little girl clawed him–in the face!  And [...]

FOCUS!

Having jeremy here with me all day every day is great…except when i need to work.  Because then i want to be doing whatever he is doing.  i hear him rumbling around in the fridge and i immediately want to know what he is about to eat because maybe i want to eat it too.  I [...]
