We had so much fun watching the kids jump off the couch yesterday that we did it again tonight. Laney was there this time and so he was taking pictures and some of them are great action shots! Any of you are welcome to come over anytime and join us. Jumping on the couches, or I should say off, is totally okay at our house.

The kids and I decided to do something extra special for Jeffy today. He’s been having a hard time with having to be at work all day and missing the kids and we miss him during the day. After anything exciting happens, they both STILL say, “I wanna go show daddy!” I hate having to remind them that he’s at the office. I guess it’s still an adjustment for all of us. Anyway, so for Valentine’s Day I had planned for Lindsay to write little love notes to her daddy and leave them places where he would find them but I just never got around it, so I decided to do that today. So, she wrote “We love you daddy” on about 8 strips of paper and we put them around the house in places that he would find them. But when it came down to it, Lindsay just ended up taking him and showing him where they all were. Too cute. Some places we put them were:

On his pillow

On the potty (because Jeffy pees a lot from all the water he drinks!!)

On Elvis in the stairway

..and some other places were on his chair at the table, on his mirror in our bathroom and on a random wall.
While Lindsay wrote all those strips of paper, I printed the letters to write “we love you daddy” (with Jeffy’s totally awesome printer) and we taped them to the garage door so that he would see it when he got home.

I had to call him to tell him to call me when he was getting closer, because I wanted the kids to be out there when he got home. So, they stood under the sign and were so happy to see him when he got home and of course Jeffy loved it! We appreciate all the hard work Jeffy does for our family. He’s a wonderful husband and father and the three of us are so blessed to have him in our lives. We love you Jeffy!!!

We had a pretty fun family night tonight. We didn’t have any sort of lesson because I’m too busy being all domestic (I’ve cooked dinner A LOT lately! It’s weird!!). Anyway, so we ate the yummy beef stew I made (seriously, I rock) and while us adults were still eating, the kids were running around and the next thing we knew Logan was screaming and had a bloody lip.

(It’s a little hard to see, but two of his top teeth just sliced his bottom lip.)

My guess is that they were chasing each other and Lindsay went to grab Logan and accidentally ended up pushing him instead. Poor dude and poor girl because I think she had a harder time with it than he did. She was so sweet and kept asking if it would feel better soon and I reassured her that it would be bruised for a day or two but that it wouldn’t hurt him too bad. Then it was back to running. No harm done.
Then they decided it was time to jump on the couch cushions. I LOVE my big couches but sometimes I get annoyed with them when all of the cushions are constantly on the floor, because sometimes they just get in the way of being comfortable. It’s weird. But the one thing that I do love about them is that they CAN come off for a good old round of jumping fun! (I like when they are on the floor for a purpose, not just because they were in the way….) They are both pretty daring and Logan still thinks he can do anything Lindsay can and it’s fun to watch. Here’s a video.
