Thursday: driveway

Today I snowmanned the driveway.

Isaac and I had gone out to shovel, but the snow was so heavy and wet that I rolled it into large snowballs instead.  The sad part was that I made six snowballs, but only ended up with one snowman because they kept breaking.  I'm not really sure why.

Anyway, it would have been more fun if Isaac was able to walk.  But between a bulky snowsuit, slippery ziplock bags on his feet*, and not being able to walk, he didn't seem to care too much about it.  But I had more fun.



*I couldn't find boots that are actually boots (vs. slippers called boots) for someone his size that were a reasonable price.  Add to that we weren't sure how much we would need boots.  So I just put ziplock bags over his slippers.  He can't walk, so it works for now.

Wednesday: starting young

"A level 1 wizard joins your party."

Tuesday: carrying

I have decided that I am an expert carrier.  Look at the things I can carry all at once...

Yesterday - a random trip to Hope
1. Isaac in a car seat
2. Isaac in a car seat.  It is awkward enough to deserve two bullet points.
3. Teaching supplies bag
4. Purse
5. Empty travel mug

Teaching time
1. Isaac
2. Diaper bag
3. Purse
4. Teaching supplies
5. Toy bag (sometimes)
6. Hot drink (sometimes) (in a safety cup)

Racquetball time
1. Isaac
2. Diaper bag
3. Purse
4. My gym bag
5. Ben's gym bag
6. My racquet
7. Ben's racquet

Racquetball time is about my limit so far though.  I could probably do a few more bags, but it's the non-bag things that get me.  Sometimes I use the stroller just to cart everything around and carry Isaac.

Monday: snowman

Today there was some sun and so the snow got slightly sticky.  Not enough to roll well, but enough to make a snowman.

Sunday: videos

Here are a few videos from the last few days:

Saturday: snow and racquetball

We have a lot of snow here again!!  We probably have about as much as we did before it melted earlier in the week.  Most of it came down last night, so we borrowed Jamie's snow blower for our driveway.  That was really nice.  The snow was light and fluffy, but it went a lot faster with the snow blower.

Then I finally beat Ben in racquetball.  He has a handicap, but even with the handicap I haven't been able to beat him.

Friday: note to self

Note to self:

When your child is still hungry after eating their dinner, remember this wise adage...

"Beans beans the wonderful fruit.
The more you eat the more you toot"

...so that you don't have to change a dirty diaper every three hours the next day.
