What a Looker

In the collection of papers and stuff I gathered from school today, I found this. . .

Isn't he such a handsome boy? I love that his hair is sticking up a little-it is so him. When Andrew saw them he said, "Did I brush his hair that day?" If you want one of these cuties, they will be available Halloween weekend.

JACKSON'S QUOTE(S) OF THE DAY

Jackson has a new-found interest in becoming an X-games participant. He decided he wants to be a snowboarder and be in the X-games. I told him that you have to practice a lot and there is no place to do it here. He said, "That's okay. I'll just go up to Iowa."
I was putting the kids to bed and gave Jackson a kiss and he said, "Mom, I specifically told Dad no more kisses. I am too old." He broke me heart. I told him that Granny still gives dad kisses. And he said his cousin Colin doesn't get kisses anymore and I told him he was probably wrong.
Jackson tossed a bag of Ellie's toy across the room and the toys fell out. He said, "I'm sorry Mommy. I'm sorry Ellie. I didn't know it was open. I should probably go downstairs and play some video games because I am just too wild to be up here."
"It is freakishly cold out here." while heading out to the car after school on Monday. I totally agreed.
Grandma- "Your daddy works a lot." Jackson- "Yup, but he never gives up."
Talking about "Man From Snowy River"- "This is a great movie mom about the scallion and the brave cowboy."
"Daddy, you don't have to worry about anything. Life is good."
"What time are we going to Chucky Cheese? It is where all kids can play and all parents can relax." (The closest one is in Columbia, but I don't tell him that.) When I tell him it is far away he says, "But we can bring our blankies and sleep on the way home."
As he put Jackson to bed on Christmas Eve, Andrew told Jackson to let him know if he heard reindeer hoofs on the roof and Jackson said, "I can't Daddy. He knows when you're awake."
"Wow, I've never seen real knights before with swords." This was after he saw the Knights of Columbus line up at the beginning of Midnight Mass
"I am totally strong Mommy. But I won't hurt you. I'm a superhero and I only fight bad guys."
"The aliens squished the moon."
"Mommy, you are so nice I can't take it anymore."
"When you don't get enough sleep, you get funky."
"Do you know what my favorite part of the popcorn is? The butter!" Poor kid doesn't know he is eating SmartPop and there really isn't much butter on it. He should hang out with Grandma if he wants buttered popcorn.
On the way to school today. . ."Mommy, I think that God makes balloons. He sneaks into Wal-Mart at night and makes them."
"My tree frog is doing great. It is sleeping now. It sleeps with its eyes open like me!"
"God made me very brave." He said this after he put his head under the water several times for extended periods of time.
"Mommy, I want to carry your hand because I love you." He said this when were getting ready to walk back to my parent's house from their pool house.
J-"Molly made my heart break." Me;"Why?" J-"Because she wouldn't let me kiss her toes." (Molly had hurt her toes the night before)
"Buffaloes are big and strong, but Daddy is stronger."
"I want square triangle bread with butter and no tops." (that is toast in case you didn't get it)
"I'll just eat grass." Referring to Briley's birthday cake. He kept saying he wanted a flower and Molly told him they were for girls
"Mommy, why do I pick my nose all the time?" said as we were driving around town this afternoon.
"Mommy, I was kind of grumpy at the house." This was as we were going into school and he had been upset at home because I would only let him bring 2 trains with him.
"Mommy, you remember my Buzz Lightyear outfit? We need to get a Zurg one for my daddy so we can play together." (In case you don't know, Zurg is Buzz Lightyears enemy.
"That's how the beautiful girls dance." after doing a turn for me.
Jackson tooted, so I said to him, "What was that?" He smiled and said,"It sounded like a frog. Ribbit."
"I want to do that when I get bigger." while watching a break dancing group on "Dancing With the Stars"
"My feelings are hurting me."
"Grandma, you're being grumpy." Even though my mom wasn't grumpy at all- Jackson was definitely the grumpy one.
"I'm so excited my legs are shaking." Jackson said this while we were making a fruit pizza for his snack day.
I asked Jackson who they prayed to and he said, "God." I said, "Where is God?" Jackson replied, "In the roof."
Posted on Jackson's school bulletin board - Jackson is special because. . . "I am."
"Mommy, your eyes are cracked." I think he was talking about the wrinkles underneath my eyes or my eyelashes since I had mascara on and usually never wear it.
"Mom, I'm going to get your chips when we get home. That's very nice of you to share." I guess Jackson decided for me that I would share.
"You can't be serious."
"I've got great moves."
"Daddy, were the cats and dogs peeing on you?" in response to Andrew saying, "It's raining like cats and dogs out there."
"I'm the most specialest kid."
"Ballerina's are cute. Mommy is a ballerina." After much discussion on ballerinas because Jackson was dancing and said he was a ballerina and Andrew told him ballerinas were bad. But he was also told that ballerinas are cute.
"Mommy, it's a big turkey gun with wheels." referring to the cannons at the Veteran's Memorial in Swimming Pool Park
"It's not fair." I don't know what he thought was unfair and I don't know where he got the phrase from but I imagine we will hear this many times as he grows up.
"It's scared to go in my mouth." - talking about a piece of pork chop we were making him eat
"You're not Jackson. I'm Jackson"- talking to his reflection in the mirror.
"I'm just a kid." - Jackson's reply to me telling him to be a good boy while we were at the sale barn
"Cold, hard cash-that's what I want for Christmas."
"It's hatching. I can hear it." "There's no more peepee in my tallywacker." - The wonderful world of potty training
"It's hatching. I can hear it." "There's no more peepee in my tallywacker." - The wonderful world of potty training

"It's beautiful papa!"- to Papa Early about the walls he put up in the basement
