Guess Who?

If you guessed Ellie you're wrong. And if you guesssed Jack you're only partially right. We'll let you in on a little family secret. Jackson - a strong willed two year old is the secret identity for Spiderman. Yes it's shocking, but true. Actually, it's not even a secret anymore. When asked who he is or what his name is Jackson responds "Spiderman". (I really should post a video of him saying this because that is what makes the whole thing so funny.) Since Jackson has never seen a single episode of spiderman and we can not figure out where he saw or heard of spiderman, other than the fact that Jackson must indeed really be the real spiderman.

And just in case you are wondering why Lightning Mcqueen is always in every picture with Jackson, it's because Lightning is Jackson Super Hero sidekick.

Helping Out

Ok, so with the absence of diapers it has become abundantly clear that my kids are growing up way to fast. I could mourn the loss of the "baby phase", but truth be told Scott and I are enjoying our new found independence. We are embracing the fact that they are growing up and have decided that it is time for them to start pullling their weight around the house.

So this weekend the kids vacumed the couches.


Ellie dried my hair for me.

And Ellie tucked Jackson in at night.

Don't worry though this weekend wasn't all work and no play. We still managed to squeeze in some fun family time at the pool and the lake.

Back To School

Yesterday was Ellie and Jack's first day back in daycare after being home for the summer. I was anticipating tears when Scott dropped them off, but the only tears present where mine. I was so anxious about them starting back, but they both had a wonderful day. They have the best teachers (I made sure of that) and a lot of their friends from last year are in their classes again this year. Well, it's time to get them up and ready for day two.
