Science Center Fun & Other Stuff

The pictures are from Jake's trip to the Natural Science Center with Nana and Granddaddy this past weekend. I'm a little concerned about just how much Jake likes snakes...

So, "Jake said" stories to share from yesterday on our way to playgroup. First, I told him that we'd be spending Tuesday afternoon with a new friend from our neighborhood. Okay, in case her family ever reads this, he really does like her. But here's what he said. "She talks so much it makes my ears hurt, Mommy. She freaks me out."

Yes, honey, she's a girl. Welcome to the rest of your life.

And then, also on our way to playgroup, I told him about the job I almost applied for yesterday. The details aren't interesting enough to share here, it's just enough to know that we thought it'd be a part-time work from home position, but it turned out to be a full-time call center position. Yuck. Anyway, I told Jake I looked into a job, but decided that being Mommy was enough of a job. He said, "So you didn't get a job?"

When I said no, he said, "Whew! I was worried."

Good to know he's looking out for me.

One more thing before I get Jake to bed. A friend called today to say that she's pregnant. I don't know if she's told other people who may read this blog yet, so I won't share her name, BUT I know she checks in here from time to time. Just want to say I'm SO EXCITED! I can't stop thinking about it and about the possibility of you staying home with baby. At lunch with Ike, he had to stop me because I was ready to pack all of Annie's stuff and go ahead and give it to you. I suppose she'll still need things like her crib and carseat by October... I've been thinking about you since our conversation and I can't wait to throw you that baby shower! Free stuff...take the offer.
