"I draw!"

Yes, yes you do draw Jack...You pull the kitchen chair up to the chalkboard and draw, {which I appreciate} you sometimes draw on the walls, occasionally your drawings make it to your coloring book, and last but not least {that I know of} you draw on your toys/books. "I draw" is what Jack declares when he wants to draw or when he comes across his own handiwork i.e. on the wall, toys, books etc. Is it too obvious that I am in love with this kid?! {his daddy or other "mommy" is pretty smitten as well} No, I don't condone this behavior, he actually got in trouble...

Timp Cave

Last weekend we finally hiked to Timp cave. It was like hitting two birds with one stone--we got to see all the pretty fall colors {love Fall} and tour the mysterious cave. The highlights of the hike was the beautiful scenery, great exercise, fresh air, and good company. The not-so-hot highlights of the hike was a screaming, squirming, antsy, child in an enclosed, dark and crowded area. Jack rocked the hike both to and from the cave, but inside the cave was entirely different. I too found myself just as antsy as Jack for the tour to be over. {minus a one year old, I am sure I would have fully appreciated everything, including 'tour guide Dan's' lame banter} We were asked not to touch anything so of course Jack kept saying "touch" while trying to get his hands on everything. Oh, he also kept saying "cool!" that actually was pretty cute. All in all though, I had a great time. In fact, my entire weekend was pretty awesome--wassail, caramel popcorn, lots of eating out, giant rocking chairs, and Amy. need I say more?
