Incognito

Jack came down stairs the other day dressed like some weird cross between a Unabomber/Techie/Samurai ninja. I thought he looked great...IF it was 30 degrees outside. It was actually 80 degrees and he had on WAY too much clothing. The boots were my favorite part, but it was even too hot for them. I suggested a visit to the pool...and the layers were shed off pretty quickly.

Meanwhile...the manager at our favorite grocery store asked Nolan if he escaped from jail during our shopping trip. Considering he was SUPPOSED to be napping, but refused...so I grabbed him from the crib and went to the store... Actually, YES, he most certainly escaped from "jail." Look how proud he was of himself. He knows.

Flashback Friday: Boots

It's really no surprise my children have always had an obsession with boots. I start them young. And I love boots because they can put them on by themselves (at a really young age). Over the past few years we have "invested" in rain boots - which have proven their worth a hundred times over. So take note: a perfect gift for a little kid is a good ol' pair of plastic boots.

PS: Moms like boots, too...but they're usually a little more pricey.

The Breakfast of Champions

We had my family over on Sunday for an amazing breakfast! I can say that…because I didn't make it. Shirlee did. And even a few hours after everyone had left, Tyson was still talking about the biscuits & gravy. So was Josie (we just couldn't understand her).

After a very filling breakfast - it is best to wrestle your uncles. Both Uncle Jon & Uncle Joe got "the smack down" from Jack & Josie. Uncle Jon escaped before the camera came out.

 Josie has learned a thing or two about holding her own in this family...

Of course, the canine children were SO happy to have their Grandma here.

 Before they left - Uncle Jon had to show Jack how to use a toy he bought for him in Thailand. It shoots really high in the air…and Jack was impressed.

Uh OH! Look what Josie was wearing… The ever famous FROG boots! No word on Jack's reaction to his kid sister stealing his most prized possession.

Maybe I'm partial - but I think she wears them well. BONUS: They are WAY too big on her, so she doesn't really move when she wears them. Which means she doesn't run away from me...

Howdy, pard.

This is how Jack ate his lunch on Saturday. He was sporting his Crean & Crimson shirt with cowboy boots that are a size too small. He managed to squeeze his large feet into them and went about his day. Totally normal attire…when you're two.

These were a good investment. I paid $8 for them, but I think Josie will be able to wear them someday…if Jack ever gives them up.

Josie did some cuddling with her daddy. Tyson has been traveling a lot for work - so we are always happy to have him around on the weekends!!
