Michael has been MIA this weekend, which gives me more time to laugh at Jack spend with Jack.
Here are the pictures that I felt compelled to take yesterday.
Oh, and I should mention that there are plenty of moments where I just couldn’t grab the camera fast enough.
Here was Jack in his grim reaper costume. And eye mask. And compression socks.
The eye mask and socks came in a travel bag that Steve was given on the airplane last week.
He brought one home for each of the boys.
And Jack has been wearing the mask for two straight days.
Here are Jack and Molly making a “special recipe.”
Grass, ice, water, water balloons, and rocks.
It’ll keep the bugs away, apparently.
When I asked what the green stuff was, Molly said quickly, “Grass. But we didn’t pick it. We got it from the lawnmower.”
Because (you may not know this) Steve is a little… um… protective of the grass.
With good reason.
It’s beautiful and looks like green carpet.
But I thought it was funny that our neighbor friend knew enough to assure me that they didn’t pick the grass.
How about one more picture?
Michael took it of the birds who have grown fond of our watermelon and pumpkin that are growing outside.
They ate them.
The joke’s on the birds, though. Because their bellies are going to be getting really big very soon.

That’s wonderful that you guys are getting some one one one time! Jack is such a hoot!

Jack rocks! So, did Michael try out for the climbing team yet?
Oh, and, I don’t comment on every post. We can’t all be as creative and witty as you all the time. But I do read and enjoy every single post of yours! :)

Ok, did the birds eat the seeds or did Jack and Molly and Michael eat the birds? And you know, I can send you all the grass you would like – Yup, Jack’s birthday is next month – great idea. A BIG box of grass – you know the kind from the ground not the (bad) grass (or good) that you roll. The stuff they play on.
I’m glad they didn’t say it was something to drink! My daughter loves to create concoctions with whatever she can find in the yard.

As long as the birds don’t explode, like from rice, or Jack’s belly, as Gramma Teetsie wrote…Gotta stop reading her comments!
I laughed out loud at the neighbor girl knowing about the grass. Joe’s not really picky but, round these parts, there is PLENTY. Almost too much.
I also love that you allowed them to use a pitcher (that looks pretty nice) to make their bug deflecting concauction. (sp?)
Great post :)
