Tuesday: on boat?

This morning we went to a playgroup at church.  There weren't a ton of people there, but it was a lot of fun.  And Isaac did really well on the play structure...it's so interesting to see the change from last year.  He still wanted a little help on the slides (although he could have done them by himself).  The other funny thing is that he started hanging on a monkey bar.  I saw it and ran over and he was still hanging on it...I didn't really think that he could hold himself up that long.  He did proceed to fall while I was there without any trauma, but the next few times I caught him very promptly.  Guess I better teach him how to fall safely from the monkey bars. :)

Isaac was also very excited to go in the boat today.  I kept being asked, "on boat?"  And then when I said yes he wanted to make sure we were going to go in the water too.  He went out a second time with Ben...it was the first thing he said when Ben walked in the door.  They're short rides, but that works for us right now.

Monday: Happy Memorial Day!

We went to the parade today.  I'm glad it was only a half hour because Isaac lost interest rather quickly.  Part of it may have been from poor seats.  Luckily, he entertained himself well with a water bottle.

We also pumped up our (new to us) kayak and had a little ride.  It doesn't steer all that well, but we had a fun time.

Friday: 30 weeks

I'm 30 weeks pregnant today!  Only 10 weeks left!  (This sounds so much better than saying I still have a quarter left to go...that sounds like a long time.)

Currently I'm doing some quilt stuff on the computer, hoping not to throw up due to acid reflux (it just hit me out of the blue), and listening to Ben say "Boing, boing, boing, bonk! bonk! bonk!" while jumping around Minecraft and Isaac laughing like crazy!  Isaac also likes to "see moos", and "climb ladder".  When there was enough fuel Isaac enjoyed flying up and down.  Isaac loves the game, although he doesn't actually do anything during the time he gets to play/watch.

Thursday: "What's that"

One of Isaac's favorite phrases lately is "What's that?"  I am so sick of the question.  Half the time he knows the answer and wants us to give us the answer he's thinking of.  Of that half, half of the time he screeches/squeals/screams and asks what he just did. A quarter of the time I have no idea what the thing is...like the flap on plastic packaging.  The other quarter it's a valid question.

In other news, it's time for us to start teaching him how to put the covers on himself.  I don't understand why this is something that we need to teach him, but I'm sick of going over just to adjust his covers.

Wednesday: today

Isaac has diarrhea again. :(  But besides that he's still happy.  The good news is that he got most of it in the toilet though, so that was nice.

Tuesday: no gd and pictures

I retook my glucose test today and passed with flying colors.  Ben rewarded me by bringing home a donut!

And here are some pictures from our VA trip, in no particular order...

Isaac with lots of toys.  He did an amazing job in the car.

Hanging out.  Isaac liked Evelyn, but really just ignored her most of the time.

Goats!

Going on a walk.

Looking at a pretend ant.  (We had just seen a big fast one, but he is just looking at tree droppings here.)

Putting together a windmill/

Isaac helped put the nuts on.

Isaac and me.

Petting the goats.  Once they realized we didn't have food they ignored us.

A good photo.

Isaac playing his "guitar".  There were a few times where Nathan was playing a song on his guitar, Isaac was making noise with his "guitar" and Isaac wanted me to sing a song that he knew.  I said no...three different tunes was way too much.

Going to plant onions.

Planting onions.

Clearing rocks.

Being a farmer and surveying the land.

By the rock pile.

Putting up a drawing that Isaac made with Liz.

Looking at the stream.  It went under the driveway and Isaac loved running from one side to the other to check out the stream.

Picture time.

 Evelyn and me.

Evelyn's first selfie.  She isn't sure she likes the word either.

And finally, Isaac's new letter song.  We heard this a lot and at the top of his lungs on the ride home.  

Home

We arrived home today after a wonderful trip. Isaac cried for about fifteen minutes out of the 24 hour round trip, but it was because he had a dirty diaper...who can blame him?

But he also took a very short nap and cried easily this afternoon. I was also a bit grumpy, so we had a few moments. But after a bit everything evened out again.

However, I am tired. I decided to read in bed and then flurry threw up on the blankets. (She's always smart enough to throw up on the floor.). I called Ben up to help me not because I couldn't deal with the mess but because I didn't know what to do. The only thing I knew is that we should take the blankets off the bed. (We put on the other comforter (duh) and have the big blanket at the foot of the bed as the back up blanket.)
