Last Friday morning Jacob and I went to my old work to check out King High Remembers.  It's a program for Juniors at the school.  We invited WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and Gulf War Veterans to the school and the kids interview them about their experiences in war.  It tends to be an emotional experience for many involved.  Anyway, I didn't want to miss it (since I missed last year because Jacob was still a little too young to go to the school then).  So we went, Jacob was dressed in his camoflauge shirt and the vets loved it.  Many of them commented on his attire with a smile.  I was able to see many of my former collegues and it was a great time. 

Saturday morning Bill, Jacob and I went to the city's Breakfast with the Easter Bunny.  Jacob chowed down on his pancake and had one bite of the sausage...that's all we would let him have of that yucky stuff.  Then the Easter Bunny came hopping in.  Once again, Jacob loved waving at the Easter Bunny, but did not like it when I put him on the bunny's lap.  The picture we got was of him with his hands reaching out to us and a scream on his face.  I must admit, it was funny to watch.  Jacob had fun running around the place with his friend Christian.  Then we went out to where they have the horse shows.  Jacob loved running around in the wet muddy grass.  His shoes were FILTHY when he was done.  I wouldn't even let him in the car with those shoes on.  Daddy had to wash them when we got home. 

We did have a small scare while at the breakfast.  I thought Bill was watching Jacob and Bill thought I was watching him.  Instead I was busy trying to steal the centerpiece balloon boquet from someone elses table...because I like the balloon on that table better than the one on our table.  Anyway, I looked toward Bill and didn't see Jacob near him.  I asked where Jacob was and Bill said I don't know I thought he was with you...in an instant, we each ran in a different direction in search of our run away child.  Bill found him OUTSIDE running around in the grass.  That was a scary moment and taught us a lesson!

So Jacob did so much running around that morning that he fell asleep on the way home...a little early for his normal nap time.  Later that afternoon we went to have dinner at Rober and Maggie's house.  Jacob had a good time playing with John Paul.  They were playing with trains the whole time! 

Jacob didn't sleep very well last night.  He kept waking up for a couple of minutes and then fell back to sleep.  Very restless!  At 5:30 he woke up again so I brought him in bed with me.  Bill was already of bed getting ready to go catch a plane to go to a conference in San Jose.  The little bugger (Jacob) didn't wake up until 8:00!  I couldn't believe it.  It was nice to be able to sleep in with him.  I think that is the latest he's slept in in a LONG TIME.  Lately he's been waking up at 6:00am.  I took him to the park in the morning and Papa came down to meet us.  We were pushing him in the swing for over 30 MINUTES!!!  I was talking to my dad adn then looked over at Jacob in the swing and he was nodding off.  YEP....he fell asleep in the swing.  It was so cute.  I left him there for a little bit, still swinging, but then stopped the swing to get him out.  he woke up and started crying when he realized I was taking him out of the swing.  He wanted to stay in!  That boy loves to swing!  Since he got a little cat nap in, he did't want to take his normal nap, so he didn't fall asleep until 2:45!  UGH...I hope he gets back on his regular schedule tomorrow.

Alright, time to go.  Tomorrow Bill leaves for a business trip to Seattle and he will be back on Wednesday night...so it's just me and the little guy for the next couple of days.  I'm sure everything will go well!
so until next time...mommy and daddy love you!
