J's Update

Wow!! I have to be one of the slackest bloggers out there. Things are going well around here. The children and I are still enjoying being outside most every afternoon. The Lexington school districe decided that Columbus Day was worth celebrating yesterday so Jackson did not have school. We spent a good portion of the day at our favorite park with one of our favorite friends, Will. My children were so filthy when we got home that they needed a bath. Needless to say, a good time was had by all!

Our Daddy is working very hard these days. I know he does not get mentioned much in the blog (because this is afterall a blog about the children), but he is hard at work building things. Jackson is fascinated with the fact that his Daddy gets to go to work with diggers and dump trucks everyday. I think that it is so funny how fascinated boys are with these things! The local McDonald's was recently torn down for a "rebuild", and everytime we go to the bank (beside the jobsite) Jackson becomes entranced with the big machines. Jenna too for that matter.

We are getting ready for Halloween. The children are going to dress as Mickey and Minnie Mouse. I am pretty excited about this. I think that this is probably the last year that I will get to dress them alike or even pick out the costume. Don't you hate it when they get their own opion? This is the first year that Jackson has any sort of interest in it whatsoever so I decided to buy some decorations. Not to much, but we now have a huge light up spider web on the front porch and a fake light up Jackolantern. Both children love the spider web which seems a little ironic to me since they have my phobia of being deathly afraid of spiders. : )

Not much else going on around here. Here are some photos from our last trip to the park.

Don't you just love Jenna's hair. This is the first time it has been long enough for pig tails.
