A Future Boston Bruins Player????

The day Matt has been waiting for...Jack on SKATES!!! Two weekends ago, we took Jack skating for the very first time. Matt has been very anxious to get our little guy on the ice...and I have to say, I'm impressed! Jack wasn't scared at all & even threw a mini-fit when it was time to leave the rink. Aunt Jill was there to witness Jack's first time on ice skates. Wish I had better pictures to show you!

Splish, Splash...

This weekend, the Waldner Family took a trip to CoCo Key Waterpark and boy-o-boy it was FUN! This indoor water park is attached to a Sheraton hotel - so we stayed the night too! (Hmmm, can you imagine how 2 toddlers sleep in a hotel room? Well, they don't!! But that's beside the point!) Both Jack & Reagan had their share of water fun...splashing in the pool, going down water slides, watching Toy Story (the movie) in the pool, etc. Oh yes, Jack was in heaven...they actually showed a movie above the kiddie pool for all the little ones to enjoy! Our busy bee Reagan didn't even notice as she was splashing around but Jack took it all in with wide eyes! A BIG thanks to Daddy for coming up with this amazing idea!!!

Just a little fun with chalk...

Who knew that sidewalk chalk could be so fun??? Well, my kids LOVE drawing with chalk on the driveway - and they will FIGHT each other for the best pieces of chalk. It's kind of humorous! To me, chalk is chalk - but to them, it's an adventure into their imagination. So cute! So here are some pictures showing off my little driveway Picasso & the chalk Van Gogh!

BOO!

Trick-o-Treat, Smell My Feet...give me something good to eat! That's the little jingle I kept singing to Jack all day yesterday & it made him giggle. He kept telling me "Sing it more, Mommy". Halloween was really fun for us - even Reagan got into the spirit! She was great at grabbing the candy from our neighbors and then saying "tank ooohhh" (thank you). Of cours, Jack was on his best behavior - he kept saying "Thank you very much!" when he got the candy. Guess he was hoping Mom & Dad would be so impressed with his politeness that we would let him eat ALL the candy!

Life is good!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!

Well, another year older and you can't even tell...Matt had a birthday on 10/29 and we celebrated in style! While my parents & sister watched the kids, Matt and I enjoyed relaxing massages...afterwards, we did some shopping & then hit Cafe Tosca for yummy dinner and drinks! What a night!!!!

The kids made him a special birthday sign - even Reagan participated by putting stickers on the sign! It was cute! I took a pic of the kids & then sent it to Matt at work. I think he liked it...

Hurray, Hurray our little Jack is 3!!!!!

Jack is now officially 3 years old...and with his older age, he has become quite independent (and it's only been a few weeks - we are in TROUBLE!). He insists on doing EVERYTHING by himself, which is good & bad! The good: he gets his sippy cup for me, he climbs in the car & gets in his carseat while I'm strapping Reagan in, he puts his clothes on (takes forever but he's so proud) and The bad: going pee pee all by himself! Oh boy, guess we need to work on aim now! :)

For his special birthday, we threw a crazy party! It was an art-themed soiree and boy did all his friends go nuts! It was so much fun...thank goodness for a nice day! The mess was made outside (phew!)...

Here are some pictures from his party!

And the celebration begins...

Jack's 3rd birthday is on Sunday & he is already talking about it! The celebrating started a few days ago when Jack received his first gift in the mail from Nana & Papa...an orange Home Depot tool bench - SO COOL! And it continues tonight with Mommy & Daddy giving him his first BIKE - WAY COOL!!! :) He is loving life and riding it (with the training wheels on of course)around the house this evening. Life is good for the Jackster!!! His official party will be on Sunday morning - so many more pictures to come!!!
