Bedtime

Before bed, daddy reads a Bible story and then Jake sings "Jesus loves me" and says his prayers.

Musical Theater

Jeff doesn't want to admit that Jake has a desire for a career in musical theater.

Jake and Rachel dance together to Once Upon a Dream and Beauty and the Beast.

Jake's favorite song is from Mulan - "I'll make a man out of you....". He likes to pretend he is captain fighting with his sword (represented by plastic vegetables).

C-L-E-M-S-O-N!

Strawberry Pickin

With school and all activities cancelled for the rest of the week due to the swine flu, we drove up near TN to the strawberry farm. This year we got down to business when it came to pickin strawberries. We didn't eat as we picked and filled up 2 buckets. Jake proved he knew his colors - don't pick the green ones.

The best part is eating them. Jake ate a couple of stems this year. He tried to avoid eating them, but if he happened to eat one, it didn't bother him. Fiber.

Hats

The girls were excited to get beach hats in the mail yesterday - via gymbucks. Jake doesn't usually like hats, but bcs his sisters were wearing them, he even decided to put on his clemson cap. It was a bad hair day afterall (last night was crazy hair night at AWANA so he had a lot of product in his hair). We later went for a haircut.

Poddy training

We started poddy training on Monday and surprisingly have done well. Looks like we are going to Chuck E Cheese on Friday.

Getting dressed

Most kids know how to undress before you actually want them to undress themselves. Not the case with Jake. We have had to teach him to undress and get dressed by himself. He still gets frustrated trying to take his shirt off most days and pitches a fit. Daddy is the only one that has the patience to deal with him. I'm too lazy and will just dress him....I guess that's why he thinks he can get away with it. Check out the new undies! No more diapers.

Garage sale

This was the first picture Jeff could get of the garage sale. He started setting up at 6am. He had only pulled a few things out on the driveway when the first people started showing up. By the time he got a picture, the crib, changing table, strollers, etc. were all gone. It was sad to see all the baby stuff go, but it just didn't need to take up attic space any longer.
