Friday with Oma

With my mom working so much these days, we really have come to treasure our time with her. Today was her day off so we met her for breakfast at IHOP - never-ending pancakes...yum!! I don't know if Jack was more excited to see Oma or get his own plate of bacon for breakfast! After that, we went to the dollar store - one of Jack's favorite stores - where Jack got a walkie-talkie and police armor. He was so excited to come home and play with it that he hasn't put it down since we got home this morning. He runs around placing Joey and me under arrest and telling us to , "Get on the ground!" (We let him watch 'Cops' a few times and that's the phrase he took away from it) Joey couldn't decide what to get. There are just too many things at her level to touch! Jack ended up picking out a pink race car for her and she was perfectly happy with that! Yesterday we did some art and I guess I forgot to keep a close eye on Joey because she ended up wearing most of it! Oh well, at least it was pink and matched her outfit! Jack could sit at the table for hours coloring or painting. I think he gets his love for arts and crafts from me.

This picture is just a funny add-on that I wanted to share. Joey is SUCH a girly-girl - I love it! She walks around the house with headbands, necklaces, and bracelets on and loves trying on shoes and coats. She also loves using my lotion and happened to find a bottle one day and decided to rub it all over herself. She was so proud of herself when she came to show me! I'm so excited to play dress up with her as she grows up!! She really is my little princess:)

Looks like lots of fun! The only thing that I have to say is this.... Oh man do your kids love lotion!! I love how girly Joey is too! I think it's only going to get more fun over the years! And Jack looks super cool in his cop gear!
