So, my last post about Jake talked about how sweet he is. Well, he's also turned into such a little boy. The other day he was sitting at the counter eating lunch. He finished his food and was kind of playing with Megan and then he leaned over and spit on the floor. Not food....just spit. What's up with that?
And every time Megan announces that she has to go potty, Jake takes off into the bathroom to beat her there. Well, the last few times that he's gone in there, he walks right up to the bathtub, leans over and spits in there. I can't imagine where he would have learned to do that. It must simply be a "boy thing". Hmmm.

Miss Megan
Megan has been quite entertaining lately. She went through a phase about a week ago where she only wanted to watch episodes of Pee Wee's Playhouse. Fortunately (or unfortunately) we have a DVD box set, courtesy of my brother. I must admit, it is really funny.
She was looking through my jewelry box last week and as she was pulling out necklaces, etc...she said, "oh, this is fabulous". Where does a 3 year old pick up those lines? And then, she was sitting at the counter all dressed for school and said, "my clothes are amazing". The funny thing is, this is the only time she's said that. It's not a regular thing that she says at all.
And, before I forget this one.....a couple of weeks ago, I got a call from her school that said she wasn't feeling well. So, I went to pick her up and as we're driving away she was telling me about it. Here's her story:
"I was going to gym class and then I started crying and 'Jim' said to me, are you sick? And I said yes. Then I went to the office and they called you"
The funny part is, her teacher is a woman and she thinks her name is Jim - because it's "gym" class.
Most recently, she was watching Dancing With the Stars last night and insisted upon dancing while the stars were dancing. So, I danced with her and then she told Darin to be the judge. He gave her a "7" and noted that she seemed like she didn't practice enough and she was very happy with her score. Then, we went to the kitchen and practiced a few steps. She came back in to perform them and scored a "9" - you would have thought that she won the lottery with her level of excitement.

Such a sweet kid.....
Jake is such an easygoing little guy. He doesn't hold a grudge when Megan hits him for coming within 2 feet of her and he recently started giving lots of hugs and kisses. As a matter of fact, when he passes any mirror that he can see himself in, he stops for a kiss. He also learned how to play ring around the rosie this past week. This kid will hold my hands and walk around in cirlces for 30 minutes if I'd let him. He loves to fall down and usually doesn't make it through the whole song before he's cracking himself up by falling on his butt. Good times.

Happy Halloween
Here's a photo of the kids when we first hit the road for trick-or-treating. Jake went to 2 houses and then Darin came home and hung out with him. Megan made it all around the neighborhood, came in for a little while, ate a taffy apple that Papa brought over and wanted to go back out again. She loves this holiday.
