Rainy Days

Last week was filled with cold weather and rain. . .two things that don't make for an awesome time. Jackson loves and truly needs to be outside running at least once a day and when that can't happen frustration ensues. The first day of rain wasn't bad because it was still warm and we could play outside. Jax LOVES playing in the rain. This day he ran outside and quickly took off his clothes to dance in the rain. Below is a very upset Jax because I made his rain dancing end at dinner time.

Poor Jackson, such a mean mommy!


Day 2 was not only rainy but also 34 degrees. Not good news. After an exhausting indoor play session at the mall I got desperate. I ended up putting a ten pound bag of ice into a bowl and letting Jackson melt it by pouring hot water through a funnel. I never said my ideas made sense. . .just that they at least occupy my son and keep him happy:)

All of this ice melting made Jackson hungry. . .time for a cracker!



More hot water to pour over the ice.



He was so excited he almost did the "tangle game." For those of you who don't know tangle game. . .ask Jeremy!

On Day three of rain week I walked into the kitchen to get Jackson some milk. . .

It seems he had beat me to it.


I thought it was pretty funny that he was trying to get the green bottle out. . .it's his omega fish oil that I mix in with his milk. He will always remind me if I ever forget it, he loves it!


And behind door number 3. . .Jackpot:)

This week was full of challenges beyond the weather and by Thursday I was exhausted and Jackson was pretty burned out as well. Thank God that Jay got home that night. My incredible husband went above and beyond all weekend. Not only did he get up with Jackson two of the days(as he usually does) but he also dropped me off for a surprise massage and ran errands with Jackson on Friday. Jay was so wonderful all weekend, even getting me an early birthday present. The rest of the weekend was great as well. Mandy came into town to celebrate her 30th and Gaga took care of Jackson Saturday night (THANKS SO MUCH!!)
So, the week was a little crazy but the weekend made up for it. And this week is supposed to be beautiful so I know we will have a blast!
