oh just a few

these days are flying by and there is so much i want to remember- but i can seem to find the minutes to write it as i want it written.. so jotting it down will have to do... because really i dont ever want to forget...

ellas sweet little lips that stay pursed for so long after she says "uh oh"... and "me toooo"

the way avas face lights up with she runs down the stairs in the morning and sees our faces...

jacks tilt of the head and floppy hair and raised eyebrows when he asks for a " story about that"....

the elaborate imaginary play ava leads....

the sound of little feet and ellas voice saying " ruunnn" over and over...

how all 3 always want a kiss & a hug before anyone leaves the house...

how they can pick out the sound of daddys motorcycle pulling into the driveway...

ellas developing sense of humour and mischievous grin...

the singing and the stories and the love that just pours and pours and pours out.

 dont want to forget.

locked out

one of Jacks favorite things is making sure all the cabinet doors..bathroom. extra room doors are tightly shut... he calls it his job....

this morning - after a yucky naptime accident.. i ran a pretty especially gross trash bag to the bin.. the second i stepped on to the porch - jack slammed the screen- locked it! and slammed  & locked the front door.

panic.

talked to him through the window.. encouraged him to turn the doorknob and open the doors for mama- but my little Jack kept insisting- " I dont have a key!!" " but mommy- you never gave me a key!!!"

my mom ran over from next door ( and photo documented/..)  but neither of us had a spare screen door key.....

so finally-

got in.. opened the door... meanwhile- jack had another accident... and continued to insist innocence because

 " no one never ever gave me a key mommy!!!!!"
