We had our second monthly meeting today. The girls earned their rose colored petal patch (which represents Making the World a Better Place). We organized a food drive for the local food pantry. They made a little turkey pine cone craft and learned a Daisy song. Jake got to come along today. He wanted to wear a vest like Megan, so I added some pins to his fleece vest and he was happy.
Jake is still cracking us up on a daily basis. A few weeks ago, while we were at Damien's birthday party, Christina told Damien to come out of his room to say goodbye to Uncle Jimmy. Jake looked at them and serious as can be, said, "That Uncle Jimmy - he's ours". I guess he's not ready to share his uncle.
Speaking of Jimmy, Jake was telling us that Jimmy has a fat belly and proceeded to stick his belly out as hard as he could and turned quite red in the process. It was pretty funny.
Jake had picture day at school last week, so I combed his hair and used a little water since it was sticking up a bit. He came down the stairs and said to Jimmy, "My hair is awesome". We're not really sure where he came up with that one.
And, finally, Jake found his Halloween costume from last year and decided to put it on yesterday. It was WAY too small, but he ended up keeping it on for about 6 hours. Then, he got up this morning and put it on again for a little while. I think I have to hide it.
We made a visit to the Chicago Botanic Garden on Sunday since it was so nice outside. Our neighbor, Francesca, came with us. Nothing funny here, just a nice photo:
And, Darin pointed out that Megan has found her "me time". She gets into the shower and sings like there's no tomorrow. She literally sings the entire time she's in there and couldn't care less as to who might be listening. I'm gonna have to record it.
