Halloween
Translation: "I like trick or treating"
Right after we took their picture, Jack ran off, saying, "Let's go hit Stan's house!"

Signs
The top two signs are taped to our front door. Originally Jack wanted to write "Save the wild fires," but Todd helped him re-word it a bit.
According to Jack...
On the way home from school today Jack said, "Hey, Mom. Will thought it was okay to throw a rock today. He threw a rock over a group of about nine boys and it almost hit a tree. And trees give us paper towels. And oxygen. And nice windy days. And they save us from dying."

"I didn't learn how to read."
That's what Jack told me when I asked him what he learned on his first day of Kindergarten. Then today when I asked him if he learned any new names from his class, he said, "No, Mom, it's only the second day." I guess I'd better stop pressuring him...

Lord, Help Us
Today I asked Lucy to do something, and when she didn't hop to it (shocker), I asked her again. She said "Okaaay, Mom. Whatever." She's TWO.

I missed many crucial photo opportunities, like several hours spent on the riding lawn mower and playing wiffle ball, but at least I took SOME pictures this time...
Jackisms
Todd and I recently went out to dinner for our anniversary. As I was getting ready, the following conversation took place:
J: What are you guys doing?
M: Mom and Dad are going to go out to dinner.
J: Why?
M: Because it's our anniversary and we'd like to spend some time together.
J: But you guys spend time together every day.
M: But sometimes we like to go out.
J: Why would you want to go to a restaurant? It's just loud and expensive.
(Turns out he was right, but we still enjoyed ourselves)
Another day:
I took the kids to Central Market to play and have lunch. Jack met another boy named Jack at the playground and they played together. This is how he relayed the story to Todd later that night:
"I asked the boy his name and he said it was Jack. I said my name is Jack too. Then I farted."
J: What are you guys doing?
M: Mom and Dad are going to go out to dinner.
J: Why?
M: Because it's our anniversary and we'd like to spend some time together.
J: But you guys spend time together every day.

Potty-trained!
Unless she feels like having an accident, which she tells me about with a smirk and a sparkle in her eye.
