I'm not sure where my head has been this week. I've religiously checked to see what Sebastian is up to as well as how high the bid has gotten on my latest e-bay finds but I've somehow forgotten to update my own blog! So...the week has been pretty low-key for us. Pappaw did have surgery on his rotator cuff but he decided that he needed a little "Jackson fix" during his week off work. We have waited all week to tell Jackson the news and just broke it to him. I'm definitely glad we waited because the level of excitement is pretty extreme. He's also going to get an extra little treat when he goes to Grandpa and Grandma Moore's as his cousin Lily is going to be there this week. He's super excited. Oh my, maybe we should have waited until the morning to tell him!
Yesterday the kids and I accompanied Andy to Independence, KS. On the way home we decided to go through Parsons for a little change of scenery. Though we were originally planning on eating at our new favorite steak place Fireside Inn (it's more or less a bar) we decided to try a Chinese restaurant in Parsons. We both decided that our first trip there would also be our last. I realized later that there were no Chinese people that worked there. That really should have been our first clue!
Today was a beautiful (yet extremely windy) day in Chanute. I decided we should take advantage of Mother Nature so I bought Jackson a kite and we all headed to our favorite park. Needless to say the kite didn't hold the attention of our little almost-four-year-old for long so we ended up taking a walk around the lake. After our walk we played on the swings and Andy wheeled Jackson around the merry-go-round. Watching Jackson stumble from there to the swings was absolutely hilarious. Of course, we made our usual round and played on the train before heading home.
Tomorrow the kids and I are going to Springfield to do a little shopping and meet Aunt Libby. Libby went to see Jared this weekend in Kansas City. Jackson will be riding home with her tomorrow! I know she can't wait. I'm going to do my best to get him to sleep on the way to Springfield because I think she needs the full dose of Jackson...all the way home! "Are we almost there? Are we there yet?" "I'm Spiderman, okay?.... Okay?" "I'm the sterminator (Exterminator-from A&E), okay?....Okay?" "I'm a rahoon (racoon)"....I'm sure you all get the picture. I love the way he says rahoon now, it's almost as cute as when you ask him if Maquawen is asleep or awake. "She's asweep mom". It melts my heart.
WARNING TO ALL GRANDPARENTAL UNITS OF JACKSON: JACKSON IS TOO CUTE FOR HIS OWN GOOD. YOU WILL THINK HIS SNEAKY, MISCHEIVIOUS MANNER IS ADORABLE. IT IS. BUT FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY. WE APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE IF AT ANYTIME HE TELLS YOU "DON'T GET CRABBY" OR "(grandparent name of your choice), JUST CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN" (WHILE SIMULATEOUSLY HOLDING HIS HANDS PALMS DOWN).

ReplyDeleteLily is very excited to see her cousin Maclaren on Friday. She cannot wait! She almost told Jackson on the phone yesterday that she could not wait to see him, thank goodness Chuck stopped her just in time I see. :-). Take Care
ReplyDeleteGrandma Moore can't wait. This is going to be a wonderful week. McDonald's and Burger King playgrounds. Of course the usual dose of health food will be chosen.
