jack was the assistant this year.

if he needed a drink during the fireworks...

jack had to cover his ears.

he had to put up with the squirming & 

the running commentary as to what every firework looked like.

circle.

heart.

waterfall.

pumpkin pie. 

a lot braver this year...

he actually heard 1/3 of them.

been looking forward to my fiya woks all day.

not disappointed.

mother nature even held off the storm until we got home.

 

jack loves pearl jam.

has been serenading us all week.

i think he is trying to convert the boys.

they found some videos on you tube...

illustrating what it sounds like eddie vedder is singing.

totally random words with images set to the music.

had them giggling for about 30 minutes.

we took a nature walk today.

the bigs boys walked ahead with uncle tom.

the littles, aunt beth, mariah, & myself took it all in.

we spied...

uprooted tree art &

birch tree curls.

confirmed our love for the adirondacks.

if he had napped any longer...

we could have let him go until morning.

tom carried him upstairs still half asleep.

set him down with pickle.

he cuddled down.

fell back to sleep.

nicklaus just wrapped around him and finished watching myth busters.

so ready for this year.

he knows after this...

kindergarten.

brought in a treat for his teacher.

peanut butter chocolate chip banana bread he helped bake yesterday.

lucky to have mrs. christian again.
