We did a lot of yard work last week, just before all of the rain this week. The rain was helpful since we did lay some seed down. While we were cleaning up we put a little water on the grass. It's been so long since they were able to swim so they played in the sprinklers. Jacks was trying to spray Beck and ended up shooting Brad and I in the face instead.
The other night Jacks must not have been tired at all because he was up for a long time in his room. If he's quiet we don't mind to a certain time. He came out and said he had a present for us. It was candy in an egg in a glove in a hat. He was still up and so I went and checked on him and he was making a note for everyone. He said he wanted to be nice and give everyone a surprise.
He wrote a note to everyone, it just said to --- from Jacks and left them a quarter. Jacks was excited to be able to do this for everyone. He is a very sweet boy. It did backfire a little because later in the week we went to Michael's and he saw something he liked but I told him he had to save his money to get it. He said he tired but he gave his money to everyone... oops.
The older three kids have bikes and ride them around a lot. We had a smaller one but it broke, so Jacks didn't have one. Every time we would look outside the kids would be riding and he'd try to run along or just be sitting at the basketball hoop. It was a pretty sad site to see. We went one day and sized out bikes to get him one for his bday and he fell in love with a motorcycle one and has been asking for it since. Little did he know we bought it but were waiting, but every time we went to Walmart this would happen....
Since the weather has been a little better we decided to give it to him early. He was pretty excited to get out and ride it once it really sunk in he now has a bike.
He still has a little practice to do, but so far he has loved it.
