When I'm 5, I will drive

Today I'm stealing a moment while the baby sleeps and Jace is at school.  Later today we head downtown to pick up Joel's marathon packet and have dinner at the Spaghetti factory.

The weekend is a super busy one for Joel with the marathon tomorrow morning and the Gov. Cup Regatta at Cherry Creek all weekend. We will spend tonight at Grandmom and Papa's house so that Joel and I can both be up and out of the house early tomorrow. Hopefully, we will get a good night sleep. Julianne has still been waking up two times a night for feedings and last night Jace was also up in the night complaining of bad dreams. He told me this morning that he dreamed he was hugging a bee's house. He is still very afraid of bees and wasps after he was stung on the playground during preschool orientation.

Julianne fell asleep on my arm as I was talking on the phone to Mom a.k.a. Grammy
Yesterday, Jace helped me scrape the seeds out of a pumpkin he picked at the store. He loves the pumpkin muffins that we make using Grandma Courtney's pumpkin bar recipe. We usually just buy a can of pumpkin but Jace was excited to see the pumpkins in the produce department. We cooked the pumpkin and roasted the seeds. We will have to find some time this weekend to make the muffins or maybe try the pumpkin pancake recipe I found. We are all excited for the changing season.
Driving home from the store Jace told me that he wanted to drive the car. I told him he had to be older to get a driver's licence. "When I am 5 I will drive." I explained that he had to be 16 years old and grow big like his cousin Dustin but that we could go visit Grandad and help drive the tractor. "By myself. I can drive the tractor." He is so independent, he just might try!
