Aaaagh!!

Only 289 more days until school starts... next year. I wish it were sooner, Jacob is driving me nuts!! This week he ate all the sunshine crackers in one sitting, cut the dogs hair, lost my tv remote, ate the t-ball game snacks, cut Abigail's hair (now she has a mullet) and sprayed Pam all over the back porch and Daniel - at least they're both non-stick now! Oh, and he showed Abigail how to pee outside so she wouldn't have to waste time going into the house to go potty. Yea, gross!

I love him to pieces and I know some day this will all be funny, but right now his mind is too busy for my own good. He thinks things up and decides to try them out whether or not they're good ideas. He needs school to focus all his energy and experiments on. Now, I know I could be a good mother and work with him to do just that (focus) but the thing is, I do! These are things he's done while I was wasting time doing things like laundry or going potty (no, not outside) myself!

Calgon, take me away!!!

Okay, aren't you glad that Jacob the Grape is so imaginative with such an inquiring mind?

Thanks for making me hoot.

Love,

Dad

I feel your pain. Luckily he is scared to pee outside (yes Joe has tried to get him to do it) but other then that my carpet is painted him and Aaron have bruises all over.
