First friend birthday party

JJ received his first birthday party invite to a school friends birthday this year. It was to his friend Carter's party at gymco.  Reese was also invited because she was JJ's sister. As we were getting ready for the party I was helping get JJ ready when Rees walked out. She had obviously gotten herself dressed. 

I was truly impressed then I noticed that she had picked a most appropriate shirt to go to an all boys party. However, she had chosen a cute skirt, but she did not have any underwear on. 

We had a great time at the party. Enjoyed cake and running around. JJ had great balance and strength. I think we may have to sign Reese up for gymnastics.

They all swung from the rope, but Reese was the only one to let go right away when she should have. 2/15/14

The kids are finally dressing themselves. I always love to see them come out of their bedroom and to see what it is that they are wearing. Sometimes they are inside out or backwards, but it always is cute. 3/1/14

This morning Reese informed me at breakfast that, "you're my favoritist mom in the whole wide world!  I love you."  I love you too sweetheart. 3/1/14

Superman

Every night before JJ goes to bed he always does one thing, his superman. He stands back in the hallway and says, "don't try this at home."  He gets a running start and throws his body on his bed shouting, "superman!"  He's thrilled if he can "stick his landing" and not fall off of the bed.  We've progressed from the back flop that would land him on the floor to him almost clearing his bed. He is truly my little super hero. 

JJ's first joke

Tonight JJ asked me, "do you want to hear a joke mom? It's really funny."  Yes was my response. He began, "why are there so many flies in Caledonia?"  "I don't know, why?"  I responded. "Because they are covered in mud," He told me as he let out this big laugh. I don't get it, but it sure was funny to hear him tell me a joke. 

Tonight's Prayer

We spent the day playing together as I had a snow day. I then got the call tonight that I would not have school again tomorrow. We were all so excited. Then as we were saying our prayers tonight JJ prayed, "Dear. God, please help momma not have school anymore.  I hope that she doesn't have school and won't get frozen as she drives to school if she has it.  I love Frozen, frozen the movie.  Amen."
