papa bwak bwak's knee replacement

my grandfather had a knee replacement surgery lately. jack really misses his "papa bwak bwak". bwak is the sound a chicken makes, according to jack and papa. so, today i braved some nasty yet beautiful snow to take jack to see papa. ...and to get some cheap butter and cheese at the grocery store, let's be honest! can't keep me from a grocery sale! i digress. point is, these two are pals and i can't wait until spring so they can go and visit their beloved chickens again.

box of loveliness

today i received a box of loveliness from a friend. lauren pope, you are a great friend. in my box was a bunch of cool hand-me-downs for jack, dark chocolate:), postcards, a funky coloring book, chalk, a birthday calendar, and............ a valentine illustration lauren did that i had just loved. it is hanging on the side of my fridge (where jackie can't ruin it) for now, but i will be framing this sweet thang soon. it is lovely.

madagascar 2

jack and i are sick today. i have been on the couch or in bed all day. seemed a good time to watch the borrowed "madagascar 2" dvd. laughed my butt off. trust me, there's a scene where a grandma kicks some animal butt and i just about fell off the couch. it's good.

painting

today i painted a ceiling. it took me 7 hours, but it was worth it. it had better be... i don't think i will be able to move tomorrow. i might even wish someone would knock me over the head with a rock to put me out of my misery. :) but you know what else? "they" said i couldn't do it... AND I DID.

"mine!"

jack and i just had lunch. since there was only a smidge of hummus left, jack got it. i gave him a piece of ham and half a pita bread tore up and dipped in hummus. i ate my lunch up quick, but jack lingered. i couldn't resist the hummus... and he looked like he might be done... so i took a little piece and popped it into my mouth. "uhhhhhh, mine!", jack said and pointed at my mouth. i was so busted.
