Jack Wisdom, March 28-30

Jack prefers "hot" colors to cool, so generally he prefers red over blue. When faced with having a blue plate for dinner, he decided he was okay with that because blue is actually a hot color. When I asked him what his logic was for that, I was floored.

1. Blue flames are hotter than red flames
2. Blue stars are hotter than red stars

I have to admit, his logic is sound. Of course, he may just want to voice this opinion to physicists, not interior decorators.

A few days later, during breakfast, he turned to me and stated: "You know Mom, there can't be a bigger half".

Again, true.

What killed the dinosaurs, according to Jack

1. They didn't look before they crossed the street.
2. They texted while driving.
3. They looked into the sun.

Caught Jack playing solitaire chess in the front window the other day, and managed to get a shot. Love this one.

February 2014 Update

Jack has recently discovered Minecraft (the computer game). In the last 5 days, it has completely taken over his brain and he is now constantly talking about it. Anna is desperately trying to figure out this new thing that he's talking about so that she can be a part of whatever it is he is doing. Poor girl, she had just gotten comfortable with all the Star Wars references. She still throws them out there to Jack, hoping to get him to talk about Star Wars. But nope, not happening.

This has been a crazy cold, snowy winter. Today was the first day that got above freezing in the last month, we've had the snowiest winter in recent memory, and that all translates to a lot of closed school days this winter. Heck, even EMU was closed twice!

I asked Anna what she wanted for breakfast the other day. She looked at me coyly and said, "ice cream". I had to laugh. I replied, "don't we all?!"
