Time to Hunt for Easter Eggs

Caught Uncle Harry texting during the hunt! HA!

Tate knew exactly what to do! Such a smarty!!

Seriously! How could you not smile after seeing this little face!

Jake

Jake
Jake Jake Jake.
So sensitive. So feisty. Such a temper. Sucha crybaby.
One might say he takes after his mom.
Or one might say he takes after his dad.
I say the latter.
All you do is tell him something so small and he freaks. He cries and screams and rubs away. He says "you're hurting my heart mom!" with such a sad pathetic face full of tears.
Then after I try to explain to him that he needs to be a big boy and stop overreacting, he screams at me "IT'S MY TURN TO TALK!!"
So I say ok go ahead Jake. And he says, "I'm not talking!" as he crosses his arms shrugs his shoulders and bows his head for a classic "Jake-style- giving you a cold shoulder grudge holding ignoring silent treatment"
Ok.
Breathe.
And God Bless his future teacher.

Mighty prizes for mighty sleeping

Mighty Beanz Challenge Success!
Jake has made it 21 full nights in his own bed! He got his beloved Woody doll for his big prize. I'm so proud of him!
John made it 7 full nights in his bed! He got Buzz Lightyear for his big prize. They play with these guys for hours. They act out the movie lines together. So cute.
We've kept the challenge going. John told me that Jake doesn't want a prize unless John is getting a prize too. Haha. Good one Johnny. :)
