Playing in the Leaves

We decided to hit the high spots regarding the leaves (i.e. the path to the playground and to the neighbor's house - little feet kept slipping on weit leaves!). Lydia was trying to teach Isaac how to jump in the leaves. He did not seem to really enjoy the activity all that much but Lydia had a wonderful time!

I love Lydia's enthusiasm and passion for everything in life :) 

Lydia, this is a weird activity! haha

One Sick Boy

Those pictures sum our weekend up perfectly... Oh well! 

Stay Tuned!

Isaac has started telling me he is wet, when he needs to poop, that he has pooped, taking his diaper off, etc... It is time to learn to use the potty!

Isaac has picked out underwear and his treat (jellybeans!) and we are starting this journey Monday. Gotta build the anticipation up ;)

Lydia would like it to be known that the stores sell paper underwear too and that looks much less messy.

As far as building up anticipation, the boy is excited! He carries around his underwear all day "big boy Monday" he says. 

Evening at the Museum

 

P.S. Lydia set down her hat and Isaac decided to wear the hat. Lydia cried which made Isaac all the more determined to make the pink hat HIS for an hour. 

A Fun Morning of Play

Isaac has been sick so we have been home. More and more my kids are showing me they really are the happiest just hanging out at home playing toys. So we spent the morning building a race track and Isaac chasing everybody with the lawn mower ;) 

Tool bench!

Every little boy needs a tool bench right? Isaac has enjoyed building with his tool bench and Lydia has enjoyed making pancakes with the tool bench... Go figure!

We usually buy toys used but I could not find a tool bench used and in decent condition (apparently toddler boys are tough on toys...). We realized as putting this toy together - we prefer buying used.

Waiting for a little boy to wake up! 

Good Morning Isaac! (Lydia was spending the night with her cousin). 

Isaac's Birthday Explosion of Fun

We make every effort to keep birthdays simple at our house and every birthday seems to become huge. Small or big the kids always enjoy their celebrations ;)

Birthday cards in the mail are so much fun (for everybody!).

More birthday cards (but Lydia wasn't home to help with this envelope!).

Birthday cake making (Isaac really just likes to eat the batter!). 

A shopping trip with his birthday money... He liked the train best of all! 

Mom took the easy route on cake decorating and I think it turned out pretty cute. The "beep beep" boy LOVED his trucks. 

A package arrived from cousins far away. It took team work but Isaac likes his back pack allot ;)

I think Lydia and Isaac's different approaches to life are cute ;)
