We visited with Grandma Helen and Uncle Scott for G'ma's birthday today. We baked cupcakes in the morning so that the kids could sing happy birthday - the highlight of their day. At one point, as Jake sat across the table from Scott, he said, "Why you not have any hair?". That was one question that Scott actually didn't have an answer for! Gotta love the honesty of a child.

Nature Boy
Jake has discovered the joy of peeing outside. About a month ago, we were at the park near our house and one of the bigger kids used a tree to relieve himself since there are no restroom facilities at the park. Jake was inspired and the next time he had to go while at the park, he decided to use the tree. I didn't have a problem with this, since he was newly potty-trained. I didn't think he could make it all the way home.
Well, within the last week, he's decided that he's just gonna go out in our yard. I guess he can't be bothered to walk "all the way" into the house.
Megan wanted me to snap a picture of her while doing her "Hannah Montana" pose. Here it is:
One last little story.... I'm not really sure about the beginning of this story, but I think Darin asked Jake something like, "What do you have on your forehead?" And Jake's reply was, "I don't have a forehead. I only have one head."

It's already May?!
Wow, where does the time go? I had a nice Mother's Day yesterday. I got TWO bouquets of flowers from Darin and the kids, went on a solo a.m. run, went golfing with Darin, and had pizza for dinner!
Megan and Jake have been pretty good about getting along and playing together lately, but like any siblings they certainly have their moments. Their threats to each other are actually quite comical. They say things like, "I'm gonna punch you in the eye tomorrow". Here's a nice moment of friendship:
Sometimes they have some whiny moments and I'll ask Jake ..."Is that crying or whining?". He usually replies, "it's whining". Although sometimes he says, "I not whining. I didn't say anything"....this is usually followed by a toy being thrown. Temper, temper.
Megan got a new bike with training wheels and she's having tons of fun riding it.
Prior to the Wisconsin Marathon last week, I was testing out some polka music to play at the event. I played the first song from the disk, and within 15 seconds of the song playing, Megan said "I LOVE it!". She asks for polka music all the time now.
Jake still says some funny stuff. Instead of saying "I don't know"....he says, "I can't know that".
I was in the car with him and he saw someone walking their dog. He said, "That's a cute dog. I wish I had that dog". He's been wishing for a few dogs around town. Sorry, Jake - not anytime soon.
