Jack loves this singing Carebear.

Daddy got up with Hailey and got her ready for school. After he got dressed and ready to leave, Hailey said "Daddy, you look cute today." After eating breakfast, Max pulled out one of my picture books. He started asking the names of people in the pictures. We enjoyed looking through all the books together. Max loved seeing pictures of Champ. He kept saying "Oh! Dere's Champ! I weally wuv him." We found some older pictures of us swimming in our pool when we were younger and some of us swimming in Aunt Debbie's pool. Whenever Max saw a picture of someone swimming he would say "Oh dey're at da hotel. I want to go dere. Cause dats fun." Bruce picked Hailey up from school. When they got back, Bruce and I worked on cleaning the house. As soon as Hailey and Max heard daddy say that he was getting the vaccuum out, they hurried and picked all their toys up off the floor. And I mean everything. They even put the rocking horse and their little chairs up on the couch. They are so worried that their stuff will get sucked up in the vaccuum. Jack was laying on the floor and when Hailey saw daddy coming with the vaccuum, she freaked out saying "Mommy, hurry! You have to get Jack!" I knew that Bruce was planning on doing the bedroom first so I waited to pick him up. Hailey was getting so nervous and said "Mommy, you have to pick him up! He is going to be so scared!" I picked him up before Bruce even started the vaccuum, but as soon as he heard it, he started shaking and crying really hard. After Bruce got all the floors mopped and vaccuumed, I dusted and washed the mirrors and windows. I also got all caught up on laundry. We got alot done today. We lowered Jack's crib. Since he can get from laying down to sitting now, we figured it was about time. Cause who knows when he'll start pulling himself up. He sure is getting close to crawling, still hasn't figured out how to go forward. He scooches all around the room backwards on his belly. And many times he gets stuck in corners or under things. We took the kids outside to play. They had fun riding their bikes around the back porch. It was cold and windy. I bundled Jack and took him out for a little while. Then we stood in the doorway and watched out the window as Daddy and the kids played. Every time Hailey or Max would ride out of site, Jack would lean way over putting his head right on the window. Whenever his head would bump the window, he'd reach his hand out and touch the glass like he was trying to figure it out. He had a very serious look on his face as he felt it. Then he'd go back to watching Hailey and Max. When they would ride closer to him, he would get excited and start kicking and smiling. We would step out and enjoy some fresh air and then go back in to warm up in front of the door again. After dinner, the kids had fun playing in the bucket of rice. They pretended to cook me things. Max always makes me "coffee". Hailey makes all kinds of different things. She likes pretending to measure out the ingredients.
