Sunday: Happy Mother's Day!

Today was a very nice day.  Ben woke up with Isaac, but as is normal on Mother's Day Isaac slept in.  Then I had breakfast in bed.  Then we all wore stripes.  (We don't have a picture with Ben, but Isaac picked out his shirt so that everyone would have stripes.)  We went to church, took a nap, and hung out on the deck for a while.  Then Jamie and her kids came over for dinner.  Isaac went a bit crazy, but everyone had fun.

Saturday: sprinklers

We prepped the sprinklers today...there are a few that still need some help, but we could run the sprinklers if needed.  We were about to start zone 5 when Isaac noticed the baby ducks.

Isaac was not willing to leave the ducks until they were out of sight.

Friday: our day

We saw a loon on the lake and close to the house.  We've seen a loon several times, but only ever one.  I hope it's not lonely, because it'd be nice if it stayed around.

We went to the quilt show.  "Unparalled" by Carol Vinnedge was my favorite.  I think that Isaac liked pretty much every quilt, but was also ready to go by the end.

We briefly walked through the flower show next to the quilt show.

And I took Isaac's picture by some tulips.

Even though the forecast said cool and rainy all day, when we woke up from our naps it was warm and sunny.  Actually, I was rather warm, but when I opened the windows the breeze cooled me down nicely.  Today marked the first day of "pregnant and bare foot" in the kitchen with this baby, but I highly doubt it will be the last.  Where did that come from anyway?  Back when there were dirt floors?  Ok, I looked it up on Urban Dictionary and Wikipedia.  It started being used between 1910 and 1950 and refers to a person that always stays at home (therefore not needing shoes) (and not working outside the home) taking care of the house and the kids.  Seems a bit odd to me because I suspect that even in the 1910s women had other errands that would take them out of the house, but maybe I'm just reading too much into it.  Anyway, I wore two pairs of shoes today besides going barefoot.

Thursday: baby name and warm days

Isaac wrote out some names with his letters today.  From top to bottom, they spell "Baby's name, mom's name, dad's name."

Today was also hot out!  (I think it hit 83 degrees and sunny.)  I know, not too bad, but it was too hot for me.  What happened to 73 degrees and sunny?  That would have been perfect.

Wednesday: worms

This morning Isaac and I had a lovely visit with Pat.  Isaac did a great job playing while we talked.  This afternoon we went outside and found some worms.  It started to lightly rain, so it was time to go inside.  Of course, Isaac didn't want to leave his worms.  (They weren't even very squirmy.)

So they came in with us.

I find it a bit weird that I'm ok with worms coming in the house but not rocks.  I decided that it is because I'm not worried about stepping on the worms in the middle of the night and hurting myself.

Tuesday: pregnancy brain

I wish I could say that I didn't have pregnancy brain, but it seems like I do.  Isaac isn't 30 months old as I stated two posts ago, he's only 28 months.  I incorrectly scheduled several things over the last week.  I feel as though I've been quite certain of several facts lately only to have them be blatantly wrong...but of course I can't remember them now.

However, I have reminded Isaac to go to the bathroom on a regular basis, so I guess that's something. : D  (He was close enough to an accident free day today that he got a sticker.  There was one accident, but it was while he was in the bathroom.  And there were several times where it would have been very annoying for him to have an accident and he didn't.  Hooray!)

Monday: gym

I went to the gym today! It's been a while...a long while. But 1) I felt terrible the last several months and 2) I just bought a bathing suit that I want to get my money's worth out of.
