Tuesday: Ben's failed test

Ben went to the bathroom.

Isaac: Treat?

Ben: sure

Isaac runs off to get a pretend heart.

Isaac: Here you go dada

Ben: Thanks!

Isaac: More?

Ben: sure

Isaac: Not two.  Only one heart.

So Ben may have failed his parenting test, but at least Isaac seems to understand that you only get one heart for going to the bathroom.

Monday: embarrassing and silly

I had my pregnancy glucose test today.  But I didn't read the directions and ate a donut for breakfast.  I called and they had me do the test anyway, but I failed.  I felt pretty dumb, but the doctor didn't seem to worry too much...I barely failed, I only gained three pounds over the last month, and my urine sample was clean of sugars.

It's still annoying though since I was rather embarrassed and need to do the test again.

*****and the silly*****

After we watch our TV program with dinner, we once in a while watch "Too Cute", a show about kittens and puppies.  He always says "Watch kitties?"  then "watch puppies?"  I was the one to say no tonight, so Isaac asked Ben...with the sliest glance over at me.  Isaac needs to work on his subtlety skills. :D

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.
