Wow! This has been quite the week! Monday was the first day of school. Noah woke up with a pretty thick runny nose, so he had to go with daddy. Jacob went to Miss Hicks, and mommy went to work. Good day. They actually ended up canceling school for Tuesday and Wednesday due to Hurricane Faye. No school Tuesday so we all hung out here at the house. They actually called school back on for Wednesday, so everybody had their first "normal routine" day. On Thursday morning I received a call from Noah's preschool. Apparently the little "curious george" decided to open the outside gate from the playground and see what life was like on the outside all by himself. Yes, he escaped from preschool. This preschool has been in existence for over 20 years, and my child is the first to EVER open the locked gate and escape... His Grandparents will be so proud..... Well, thankfully they caught him right away. We are now devising a plan for these "escapes". I was not shocked when the principal told me. Noah does this quite frequently. We will be in Chickfila or someplace and while I am throwing the trash away, he will run right out the door...Little booger. We are working on it. But please pray for us if you remember. My biggest fear of him starting preschool was the potty accidents. Hasn't had an accident yet and thankfully we got out of the whole, take-all-our-clothes-off-to-go-potty stage. We still need to master the whole, pulling-up-our-pants-by-ourselves stage. His teacher says that after he goes potty he hops all the way down the hall with his underwear and pants at his ankles to her so she can pull them up. He can do it. Just won't sometimes. His teacher has a hard time not laughing when she sees him coming down the hallway. Hopefully we will overcome this stage soon. Jacob is doing so great! He loves all the attention he gets from Nanny (that's what everybody calls her). He is learning alot too. Mostly that he isn't a baby anymore, he sleeps on a mat for naptime and plays with his buddy Michael. He colors pictures for us, and loves to play outside. So glad everybody is adjusting well.
Okay, on for the fun stuff. The PIRATE Ship! As most of you know, I am a garbage picker. Well, I don't pick through garbage, I am more of a see-it-on-the-side-of-the-road-hope-it-fits-in-the-van sort of a picker =) Well, we saw this on the side of the road and well, Yes, it fit in the van =)
This is our latest "treasure"- no pun intended...okay, it was totally intended.
The Boys Absolutely LOVE it! Especially Jacob. He doesn't quite love to pool yet, so while we are swimming, he can play in it and we can keep a close eye on him. I can forsee in the future, Noah making Jacob walk the plank into the water....how fun!
Okay, here are some pics of the boys. Noah has figured out a fish face and he does it ALLLLLL the time. He likes to show his muscles too. Jacob is still little pigpen. He makes a mess in whatever he does. We have been working with him on putting things away and wiping himself and the table off. He gets it. Doesn't like to do it, but gets it.
MUSCLE MAN!!!!
Messy Face!
Noah put his unnerwares on all by himself (inside out and backwards)
Fish Lips

Oh, my, you had me laughing outloud with the story of Noah and his pants at preschool! I could just picture it. I would never be able to hold in the laugh if I were his teacher! Am I seeing a new security system going in at that preschool soon, like maybe with an ALARM to catch escaping prisoners, I mean, children? Glad he is safe! How is your job going?
