Penny's Letter

Jack goes to pre pre-school at Nana's with Auntie Brooke. They are getting him all ready for preschool to start in the Fall. He has to wear clothes and everything! So this weekend Jack tells me he needs to write a note to Penny (teacher, AKA Brooke). He reminds me a few times and knows just what he wants to say. On the way to Nana's on Monday morning I get the paper and pen and he dictates his note. He was very clear about the exact words and I'd repeat to get it just right and this is what he wrote to her:

Dear Penny,
I know that your job is hard. It's not that I don't like you. It's just that sometimes you are difficult to deal with.
Love,
Jack

My Garbage

For some reason we talk a lot about Jack's "boys" or "B's" as Uncle Ben likes to call them. They seem to come up a lot for some reason! He's always messing with his business and adjusting. The other day we were talking about his "junk" and this is how interprets it a few days later...

In Home Depot wandering around the aisles, he's sitting in the cart. He's messing with his business:

Me: "Jack, what are you doing?"
Jack: "Just checking my garbage"

:) Oh lordy

JESUS!

Funnies:

This morning, the alarm goes off this morning and Jack and Brian get up. Brian keeps trying to wake me up, Jack's next to me in bed watching cartoons and I am just laying there eyes closed TIRED!
Brian: "Get up"
Brian: "It's getting late"
Brian: "Honey, GET UP"
Jack: "Mommy, daddy is yellin' at ya...JESUS!"
ME: eyes pop open and crack up!
