Sometimes these two get along so well. This photo was taken one day after school. Jake really misses Megan while she's there. Whenever we drop her off, he's a little bummed that he can't stay with her. But, then he's so happy when we pick her up. They're enjoying an after-school snack on the stairs (er, I mean bus) here. They always pretend they're riding the bus for some reason when they sit on the outside of the rail.
Last week Megan found the biggest leaf ever. Check it out:
She kept it for 3 days until it finally started falling apart.
Megan saw an episode of "Goosebumps" at Debbie's house. Apparently, it's a kid's show with some scary themes. She seemed to enjoy it until recently. Now, when she's going to bed she says, "I'm afraid of Goosebumps". I don't know if this is a stall tactic or if she's really scared. The other morning, Megan woke up in tears and Jake came into her room and said, "Megan goosebumps?". What a good little brother - showing concern for his crying sister.
Most of the time, Jake is pretty good. Lately we've referred to him as the deflector. If you say anything directed toward him, he turns it right around. For example:
Darin: "Jake, you look tired"
Jake: "YOU look tired"
or Jimmy's favorite.....
"Jake, you're cool"
Jake: "YOU're cool"
And, he certainly says it with attitude. Maybe he'll be good at sales.

Holy Cow that leaf is huge!!!!! All the fun stuff. I can see us talking when they get older and saying "Remember when you used to ride the stairs and pretended it was a bus?" I am missing so much dang. Love the deflector thing, he does do that I think it started with the "You're It!"
