Monday: guest room

Last week I finished up the guest room.

I'm sure you're wondering what's on the wall...It's frogs.  I'm not sure why there are frogs on the wall.  It isn't really my favorite, but I also don't dislike it enough to change it.

Sunday: Mother's Day

Today was my first Mother's Day...and it was a very nice one.  Ben got up with Isaac during the night.  And they got me donuts and flowers.  What more could I want?

We also had a delicious brunch.  Cold peach soup, orange bread, fruit, cheese, waffles...yum.

(If you look closely, you can see our lettuce growing in the pot.  All the vegetables are starting to come up!)

Saturday: diagrams

I found this fun creator at http://www.wordle.net.  You know, the thing that takes the words that you most often write and makes a picture out of them?  I downloaded the blog again.

I find it interesting that Isaac made the list even though he's only been around for 9% of the posts.  I probably need to stop starting the posts with "today".  There are several words that don't really surprise me, but I'm not sure how they got there, such was two, three, minutes, small, and Amanda.  (I don't refer to myself in the third person that often.)

Today I went to the quilt show with a friend.  This was my favorite.  Afterwards we saw the flower arrangements...they were really cool too.  And we watched the Dutch Dancers.

Isaac is eating his elephant's ear; he is sad he didn't get to last night with Ben and I.

19 weeks!

I took a lot of photos from this angle.  It was hard to narrow it down to one, but there are already a lot of photos in this post.  I do like the single finger in his mouth...that started about two weeks ago.

Ben liked the picture of Isaac in the box, but said it was too blurry.  So we tried again.

Thursday: more costumes

Isaac convinced me to get my Dutch costume on today too.  It barely fit, but it did fit.

And my contribution to StemFest:

Wednesday: downtown

Isaac and I went downtown today to have lunch with Brian and Amy.  Isaac was being a little cranky so we didn't stay for the parade.  He has a runny nose.  It was hard to tell because he slobbers all over himself so often, but by late afternoon I was sure.

I'm hoping to get a few more picture in the Dutch Costume.

Cheryl also came by to look at all my plants.  She declared almost all of them not weeds - and could even tell me what almost all of them were.  I was rather impressed.  Now for weeding and making some changes...I expect it will take me most of the summer.  At least.

Tuesday: theme day - things that swim

Today we talked about things that swim!

Isaac wore a whale.  I may have changed his sheet just so that it would be the color of water for the picture.

He also had fish on his feet.  I wore my duck socks.  Ben participated by being the beach (khakis and a blue shirt) since he had to work.

We also saw some fish in the lake!  They were pretty scared of us, but if we didn't move they would come a bit closer.  They were bigger than I was expecting.
