Coldish/Fluish/Fall Crud. . .and Coffee!

Well, I haven't posted anything this week because we were super busy and now we are sick. Jackson has an ear infection (the fun part is that he gets up at 4 or 5 a.m.) and lots of other crud and now I have it too. Not fun. But it's been such a blessing to have Jay working from home this week because my awesome husband has helped out tremendously!
On a funny note I was sitting on the floor of the kitchen this afternoon (waiting for my zyrtec to kick in) letting Jackson make a huge mess when he found the baking cups (you know those papers you put cupcakes in). So, he immediately starts freaking out smiling and doing his "uh uh" thing pointing to what looked like the dishwasher. He's getting more and more excited and pulls up his favorite sail boat stool and I realize he's trying to climb up onto the counter. So, wondering what in the world he's so excited about I sit him on the counter. He's now laughing and clapping (totally crumpling the paper) and grabs the coffee maker and hits the button to pop out the compartment where the filter goes. He puts the baking cup (or as he apparently thinks the coffee filter) in the coffee maker, takes the empty coffee pot out and pours air into the water compartment and hits the start button. I have never seen my son look so proud. You would have thought that he had just won the lottery (if he knew what that was). I was so amused by his valiant attempt at making coffee that I even forgot how sick I was feeling. I also felt a little bad that we weren't actually making coffee because he loves to hear the coffee grind.
So, since I have no pictures of today I'll post a picture from last weekend before we were sick. I just love the little outfit he's wearing here, thanks Owen!
