Issac was a really good (and cute) helper today. I was folding the laundry and he grabbed one of my shirts. After running around with it for a little bit, I thought we might as well run into the bedroom and put it away. Isaac signed "more!" Ok, I'm happy to let you help me with the laundry. We didn't get the whole basket put away, but we did get most of it put away...one item by one item. It was funny to watch him with the long sleeved shirts...he often had to stop and make sure the sleeves weren't dragging.
Then this evening I was on the couch complaining about a headache. Ben offered to get me some medicine, which I gladly took him up on. Thirty seconds later Isaac comes out with his arms full of old pill bottles that have been turned into toys and heads straight for me. It was one of those sights that I never want to forget. I'm not sure if he knew what he was doing, but it was super cute.

Sunday: Father's Day
Happy Father's Day!
It was a pretty full day today.
So full, that I only got one silly picture of Ben and Isaac. Oh well, they're both really cute in it.
It started out with Dad and Pat coming to church with us and staying for dinner. I have a great Dad. I might not tell him very often, but he's pretty amazing. :)
In the evening we grilled with Ben's family. That was fun too.

Friday/Saturday: games!
Ben and I have played a lot of games this weekend! First Euchre and Pinochle with some friends from Ben's work. Isaac decided that he wasn't tired until 10pm, but he sat on my lap without being too distracting, so we let him stay up. It was a Friday night after all.
Then Hand and Foot with some other friends tonight. That one included root beer floats...yum. The girls won with an awesome (and surprising) last hand.

Thursday: hmmm
Hmmm...today...
I ran the Roomba in the office. It wasn't the first time that I've done so, but it still managed to pick up so much stuff! I was actually rather surprised. Where does it come from?
I'm looking for a daycare/childcare for Isaac in the fall. I don't need a ton of time, but do need to pretty big chunks. I went to one on Tuesday and came back with a *meh* impression, although I've heard it's good. I went to one today and liked it a lot more, but it was also a lot more expensive. I think I have a few other people/places to look at yet. Luckily, it seems to be pretty easy to get Isaac a spot. I think he will be old enough to not be considered an infant and won't need the highest caregiver to child ratio. I'd still like to get it settled though.
Then we got to go to the fabric store! Isaac is starting to enjoy playing with fabric...it rivaled the rock that he also had with him. A friend and his young son joined us and I had the following (one-sided) conversation with the son:
Son, running at me: Dadadada
Me: No, I'm Mom. Wait a minute, that's not right. I'm Amanda.
Friend: laughs.
It's just so natural to say, "No, I'm Mom" when someone says dadada at me.

Tuesday: me
Lately I feel like my blog has turned into a blog about Isaac. While I do like this, because I like Isaac, I kind of wish that it was a little less about him. However, I spend most of my day with him. And chores are (often) boring to talk about.
I don't think I'm going to change anything. Although I have been thinking that in a few years I might make the blog hidden. I think everything that Isaac does is cute, but I don't want his classmates to find it unless Isaac is ok with it. I expect that I have a few years though...we'll see if blogging is even still around.
It was supposed to rain all day but didn't. Well, it did rain for thirty minutes when I was hoping to be outside for library story time. The weather people keep saying to expect severe thunderstorms so I'm expecting them! And being let down.
We ate home-grown lettuce in our salads for dinner. It's the first of the veggies.

Tuesday: traffic jam
Today I had a lawn mower traffic jam as my neighbor and I were mowing the same area of our respective lawns.
When's the last time that's happened to you?

Monday: beach
Isaac and I hit the beach again today with his cousins. It was a grey day, and a bit cool, but I wasn't cold. And they had a great time. It took Isaac a while to warm up to the idea of playing in the sand. He just sat with me for a while. Then he found a stash of rocks, so he played with those for a while. I put his sandals back on while he was playing with the rocks...I think the texture of the sand might have been annoying him. Then he slowly started playing with the sand. He didn't make it to the water, but maybe next time.
