Catchin' Up...

School is in full swing now and Jackson loves it! He is one of those kids who loves structure and wants to know what's expected of him. He follows rules (at least at school) and wants to do his best, so that's why he is enjoying school. At least for now.....it's only the 2nd week! He also loves to get silly! Here is a picture from a "Silly End of Summer" party that we went to. The kids were supposed to pick anything they wanted to from the box, but it had to be silly. Here are the boys with their buddies, Powell and Pierson. They had a great time.
In other news, we had a nice visit from Grandma and Gandpa Maupin this weekend and Grandpa brought the boys jumping beans. Here are the boys watching their beans jump and having races with them.
Halloween is on the boys radar now.....they know it's coming. We started getting magazines with Halloween costumes, games, decorations in it and here they are pouring over the choices! They both have their sharpies in hand because I told them they can circle what they like in there and then we can order something that they picked. So far, on the top of the list are fake eyeballs and glowing skeleton bones. Are they boys or what?? Oh, and yes, Jackson got into the spirit by wearing his last years Halloween costume to breakfast that morning :)

Ok, I am cracking up over the last picture! I love how serious they look with the sharpie in hand and Jackson in full blown costume! Drew just looks so perplexed by his options! I hope you will put this picture somewhere in your house. I think that during the "trying" moments of motherhood one look at this picture will put it all into perspective!!! I LOVE IT!!!
