*Tonight Jacob had a sad look on his face. When I asked him why, he said it was because he didn't know how to do a heartwheel.
*Jacob had a question for his daddy, but he was at work. When I picked up the phone to call him, Jacob's eyes got huge. He gasped and asked, "YOU know DADDY'S phone number?!"
*We were watching Blue's Clues, where the man ski-doos (jumps) into the pictures to be part of the story. Later I was reading Jacob a book and there was a picture of a sad boy. I said, "Jacob, will you be this little boy's friend?" To which he very matter-of-factly said, "No mom. I can't ski-doo."
*We don't watch commercials in our family very often, but Jacob is usually glued to them when they are on. "Mommy we have that toy. Mommy I would love that one!" Or most recently, "Look, that train has tracks that never run out! Batteries aren't included!"
*Jacob's homework said to draw one thing you are thankful for. He drew this very detailed, colorful picture of himself and exclaimed, "I'm thankful for me!"
*He was holding a piece of cheese and Sy was waiting at his feet. Jacob dropped it into his mouth and said in an exasperated tone, "Sy didn't say please AGAIN."
*Jacob always carries on a great conversation with whoever is cutting his hair. He usually talks about puzzles, kindergarten, or Super Mario Brothers. Until his stylist asked him if he was going to have any more baby brothers or sisters... to which he responded, "No. My daddy turned off his baby-maker."
*Last, he really wanted to pray last night and this was what he felt was extra important to say.
Dear God,
Please help me to have good dreams and help me to fall asleep fast. Please help me to pause my thinking. And please help Daddy to play the wii right.
Amen
Each boy got to have their own turn
Thankfully, he also left some eggs laying on the carpet so Casey could easily collect them for his basket. His brothers were really gracious and made sure to leave the "easy" ones for Casey.
Gavin had some bonding time with Great-Grandpa Kahn
I love this picture of Gavin showing his great grandpa his missing teeth. :)
Casey loved Grammy's famous apple pie!
All in all, it was a great day. The best part though, amongst all of the eggs, candy, and food... Jacob can tell anyone who asks the true meaning of Easter. :)
Since he kept trying to eat the colored egg, shell and all, we peeled one for him. Apparently, they tasted pretty good because he couldn't eat it fast enough! (Gavin even tried one after watching Casey, but it wasn't long before he spit it out all over the table. :)
Jacob was pretty meticulous about placing all of the stickers in the right places and dying them to perfection (without getting his hands colored in the process). As you can see, he took this job super seriously.
Gavin just went for it. He gave up on the egg holder and decided that using his hand to take each egg in and out of the different colors was much more fun.
