All about JACK

Arlin’s Christmas ornament…he’s learned how to say Penguin…and we say good morning to the penguin sitting in the Xmas tree daily now.

I discovered Olivia books a few months back at Barnes & Noble and I don’t really care if it’s a girl or boy book, with the art I HAD to buy a few for Arlin. This one above is a nightly read…the storyline is too darn cute.

Arlin is quite obsessed with cars and tractors, so this book “Otis” seemed totally suiting for my Dad to buy when we took him to Tattered Cover (a bookstore) downtown we all thought it was funny it was a tractor named Otis (like our mutt)

Check out my NEW p.j.s!!!

who needs a shirt?

have you got your tickets??? to the Arlin Jack gun show?!

think there’s any food in that belly?

C-A-R-S!!! We’ve had melt downs…we must wear the Car pajamas to bed, or there’s just no sleeping, must wear the cars, and of course have kitty by our side.

These pajamas are pretty cool, they were made just for Arlin Jack by Grandma Shelly, thank you!

Walking around in Papa’s tennis shoes…roaring like a dinosaur (of course)

We’ve committed to potty training and there’s no turning back. I’m so proud of Arlin Jack! This entire past school week he’s been wearing his big boy underwear at home and the only time he’s worn a diaper is to sleep at night and to get to and from school.

We’ve only had a couple of accidents with timing and or distractions while trying to get to the potty, but he knows when has to go and he’s great about getting Mama or Papa or Sissy to help him…:)

his new snow boots make him wanna run!

miniature Elmer Fudd. Arlin found a box of little army men I used some time ago for a diarhama, a prank gift for the opposing derby team we were bouting, anyways, he’s been carrying around one of the soldiers ever since…he gets pretty animated when you ask him who it is…

“Ma-Sss-er….SARGE!”

I took these last Sunday…

it’s frigid cold now with snow all around….Today it was 9 degrees and Arlin wore his new snow boots to school that we picked up at the Baby Gap store down at the outlets in Castlerock, he is such a character- he loves shoes (just like his papa) he demanded we put his snow boots on before we walked out of the store and as soon as he had them on he charged the snow outside and stomped all around roaring like a dinosaur…he is SUCH a boy- it’s hysterical.

Chad and I did a bunch of Christmas shopping online last night while watching some football I think the Captain’s set in the toy department…and Mimi (once known as Pamaw- yes Arlin Jack has re-named her) always covers the clothes end
