Mommy's Little Helper Weekend Edition

We had a great weekend! The only downside is that they always go WAY too fast! Friday night I made pumpkin pancakes and they were as good as I was hoping they would be. I was craving them since I read the recipe in a magazine a couple of weeks ago. That night we played in a fort with Jackson. Then Brian camped out with him downstairs and let me sleep upstairs in our bed without a monitor turned on. It was heaven!

They woke me up at 8 o'clock and we frantically got ready to walk for the MS 2010 walk at Katy Mills with our Sunday school class to support our friend. I skipped blow drying my hair, did my make up in the car, and we pulled in right on time! Jackson had a blast riding in the stroller and we strolled 1 lap around the mall together. Afterwards we did a little shopping and snagged Jackson some good deals. He fell asleep on the way home and slept for 4 hours, that may be a new record.

It stopped raining and warmed up a bit so we walked over to the park to play. Jackson had to take his ghost flashlight with him. He didn't put it down the whole time we were playing. We never know what toy he will want to bring with him when we go somewhere. I love this picture of him running around!

With mommy and daddy:)
Just playing at his favorite place in the world-

Lately Jackson wants to help us do what ever we are doing. He says, "I help" or "me mix too." Most of the time it is a good thing! I was in the mood to make cookies and we had butterfingers left over from trick-or-treating so Jackson and I baked away. After they were done and cooling on the countertop he pushed over a chair, climbed up, and grabbed himself a cookie!

"Mmm cookie!" Cookie is the first thing he asked for this morning when we came downstairs:)

Today we spent the morning at church, always a refreshing time. Then Brian and I organized our closets and now have a lot of clothes to donate. The rest of the afternoon was spent lounging around, finishing school work, running errands, and since it is Sunday making homemade pizza for dinner!

And now we have a new chef in the house...

Jackson was enthralled by the bread machine kneading the dough. He kept asking "what happening?" He helped spread the sauce, sprinkle the cheese, and taste test it to make sure it was just right!

I am hoping for a relaxed week that flies by!
