What a Kid!

Jack is 7 years old and in 1st grade. He's growing up so fast! He is a typical boy in most ways - loves Star Wars, all action figures, sound effects, video games... He's learning to read and is doing an amazing job! His two front teeth are growing in, which also ages him into being that school-aged kid.

Last Sunday (Oct. 26), he called a family gathering. He had a baseball cap filled with fold-up papers. He told us we were going to play a game for one whole week. He explained that on each paper there was someone's name. We were to draw a name, and don't tell anyone. Then, for a whole week, we were to secretly to nice things for that person.

He told us that he got the idea from a Veggie tales video (from the "extras" on the menu). So he had watched the idea and thought about it, and took matters into his own hands and organized the whole thing, all by himself! Isn't he cool?

We've had notes taped all over the house. Here's on that was left on Christiaan's pillow on Friday (Halloween). We have no idea who might have left it (even though he asked me how to spell "Halloween").












Also, on the same day, I was laying down for a little snooze, and Jack came in with this:

He's the best. He's my best boy in the whole wide world!
