Friday: by some numbers...

...to show how crazy I am.

0: The number of times Isaac has slept with Ben and me in our bed.
0: The number of times Isaac has slept with just me in our bed.
2: The number of times Isaac has slept with me in a different bed.
84: The approximate number of times I've startled awake, realized that Isaac wasn't sleeping next to me, and almost freaked out because I thought he was about to suffocate from the sheets/fall off the bed/be squished by an adult.

Thursday: birthday

Today we celebrated Ashlyn's birthday at Chuck-E-Cheese.  It was Isaac's first time there and he had a lot of fun looking at things (and pretending to play the games).  Ben and I had a lot of fun too.

He's missing a sock because he took it off in the car and then dropped it in a puddle when I opened the door.  The restrooms didn't have the blow driers.

I got so dizzy in this ride.  Isaac seemed unaffected.  If there had been an emergency stop button, I would have pushed it.

Tuesday: migrating

The last several days have brought tons of geese (and one swan) to our lake.  This is what it looked like this morning...probably at least fifty geese (or more) (and one swan).  (Seriously, I think the swan thinks it's a goose.) (I swept after I took the pictures.) (Parentheses are pretty fun.)

In honor of migrating day, I moved all the chairs from the deck into the garage for winter.  I also let the turtles on the deck come inside to winter, since Mom always let them come inside and they didn't get a tough skin.

Monday: today

Today I felt like I needed to have a productive day; the to-do list has been piling up.  The end result was ok...I managed to accomplish things, but there's still a lot on the list.  Guess it means I need to have more productive days in the near future.

Vacuuming was done, laundry was started (although I managed to partially melt the mattress pad), the kitchen remained clean, I had a dentist appointment, the freezer was cleaned, dinner was made, and some emails were sent.  And took a nap and took care of Isaac.  But those aren't really chores.

Sunday: puffs

I've noticed that all brands of puffs say pretty much the same thing: "Your baby may be ready to eat puffs if they can eat puffs."  

This statement of course assumes that puffs are the first food that your baby feeds themselves.  Which seems to be the case for many babies.  Maybe this isn't quite as funny since I can't explain myself very well.

In other news, it's pretty much rained for the last two days.  I think there was an hour of sun and a few hours of just clouds.

Friday: cousins

Isaac got to spend some time with his cousins today. He has one that is seven months older than he his and she is such a giving person. She gave Isaac toys. She got Isaac more toys. She gave him the straw from her juice box. She gave him apiece of pepperoni since he didn't get any pizza.

It was pretty cute.

Thursday: Flurry

Flurry is still alive and well, even though she doesn't get mentioned as much.

Her new thing is getting up and standing over me in bed when Isaac is crying, telling me to turn the monitor off so that she can go back to sleep.
