We have finally hit the double digits! Woo hoo. Amazing how warm 14 feels. Supposedly some snow is headed our way, which would be nice for some sledding.

John was over yesterday playing with Jbird. John, as is Jacob, is almost 4. Now, my boys have been doing some things for themselves since they were 18-24 months old. John just cracks me up because I will ask him to do something and he will tell me he does not know how. It is like an automatic response for him. So yesterday we were getting ready to go pick up B from school. I walked past the boys and told them they needed to get their coats on. J told me he did not know how. I very nicely said 'yes you do John, you just need to try.' As I walked up the stairs I heard him mumble something to Jbird. I did not know if I heard him right so I very nicely asked 'what did you say'. John's eyes got really big and he said 'nuthin'. Then Jbird blurted out, he said 'you were really rude'. I just wanted to laugh. He must think I am the meanest person making him take his plate to the sink, put on his own coat and shoes.

Yesterday we were driving in the car and I had told B I forgot to do something he asked me to. He said 'I hate to tell you this mom, but you have a bad memory.'

(For those of you that tend to get confused by which kid I am talking about (my family...), I have listed the three of them in the left sidebar for you to refer back to if needed. I know J (or Jbird) gets confused with JB. My blog is basically a public blog, which means anyone could stumble upon it. For that reason, I wanted to keep it a little anonymous, just in case. (Unfortunately the world we live in these days) Therefore I try not to mention where we live and the actual names of the boys...hence the initials.

Everyone is in bed, so will organize a few coupons while I watch a movie. Off to town tomorrow for groceries - what is usually a bi-weekly trip. Friday is an early release day and maybe it will be warm enough to sled!
