Last nights game through Isaac's eyes

My morning in short....

Every day is an interesting day... here is a quick peek at my morning:

Breakfast time....
While enjoying our breakfast, Elise lines up her handful of Froot Loops (no that's not all she had... she also had some toast and banana) and she asked me, "what does this spell Mommy?" I replied, "I think it spells Froot Loops." She laughed at me and said, "No. It spells Mom. M - O - M." Yes, she spelled Mom. Completely shocked me... I guess they've been working on that at school.
Enter Mr Isaac... all the while he is trying to throw his food on the floor, between the occasional bite. He gets one warning.... two warnings.... now he thinks it funny. Third time was a charm... TIME OUT BUDDY!
I briskly remove him from his shackled eating area and whisk him away to his room for a time out. I plop him in his crib and give him a stern talking - all the while he calmly sits and smiles at me. I leave the room and close the door.
He doesn't make a sound.
I return to his room moments later to see that he is lounging back on his pillow... not a care in the world. I again tell him that what he did was not allowed... he smiles... and I ask him if he's sorry... he stands up and gives me a kiss.
The little monster could care less about his "time out".

Then Elise gave me a good laugh as I was changing Isaac. She was playing with a big beach boat and she was asking me to go sailing with her. I said, "maybe later... right now I'm scared of the sharks in the water." Elise said, "It's okay mommy, I can save you. Just come on my boat okay?" I said, "Hmmm.... maybe. But I'm scared of the whales too." Not too worry though... she had an answer for that too.
She said, "Don't worry Mommy. The whales aren't coming today, they have a headache."
She cracks me up! :P

My Little Man

A cute story from tonight...

Today Uncle Elymer brought over Derek's old bed for Elise - which she is SUPER excited about. Well, she insisted on sleeping in it tonight... so Mike set it up for her. As he was putting together the side rails, Isaac walked in and grabbed the screwdriver and took off. So off I went recover the screwdriver from his concrete grip, and possibly save a cat in the process. As I turn the corner into the living room I see him open the door on their play kitchen and put the screwdriver to the screws in the hinges and try to tighten them. Ah... such a little handy man :) So I left him fix the screws (he fixed the one's on the little oven too) and then he took the screwdriver back and gave it to Daddy. What a sweetheart.

Our Easter Egg Extravaganza

So yesterday (Good Friday) we decided to take Elise and Isaac out for their first outside Easter egg hunt. They had so much fun!!! I think Isaac was more into finding the eggs than Elise was LOL we couldn't get him to walk by any without scooping them up. At the end they got to trade the eggs for a "prize"... but the hunting was by far the most exciting part of the day!

Here are some pics from our adventure:

Excited to get to the hunting!

This is what we like to call Synchronized Egg Picking.

Moving on to greener pastures.






Checking out the goats.



I was TRYING to get a pic with both of them looking... it wasn't working.



Daddy tried to help... still... no dice.


and Isaac was NOT impressed about being temporarily confined.



Off to see the goats again...






Isaac spilled his eggs and Elise being the sweet big sister she is, came over to help him pick them up.



"There you go Isaac, all cleaned up."
