Yesterday Joshua had his first bandaid. He scraped his toe while scooting on the driveway. It was little, so I ignored it and put him in the car seat. It must have still been bleeding when we got to the gym, because when we left there was a bandaid on it.
Then today we saw Joshua take three steps. They were itty bitty baby steps, each covering maybe an inch. But he picked his foot up and put it back down while staying upright.

Wednesday:sinks
Today's new fun activity was playing in the cupboards under the sinks. One side has been empty for a while, and I emptied the other side. It just had pumping stuff and I'm done with pumping.
By the end I had to take out the two drawers with our stuff in, but that just made nice windows.

Tuesday: long day
Phew...it's been a long day. I test drove a Jeep by myself this morning. (By myself! It was intimidating.) I liked it well enough to arrange to meet again this evening so Ben could test drive it. And in between I worked/taught/mothered.
When getting Joshua out of the car I would say his name in a funny voice and rub his nose with mine. He loved it and kept trying to get me to do it again by sticking his face right under my nose. It was really cute.
Isaac was talkative.
Classes went well. I tried a skit for the first time. Well, not really a skit...the students didn't talk and really all they had to do was hold signs. It was kind of dumb. (Kind of? It was really dumb.) But I'm hoping that if it was dumb they forget about it and if it wasn't dumb they learn from it. At the very least it broke up the class a bit.

Monday: truck parade
This morning in the early am, when I should have been sleeping, I remembered that there is a truck parade on Labor Day.
We ended up in the car rather quickly, although I'm not sure if Isaac didn't want to stand anymore or if it was too loud. I did leave a door open because the weather was beautiful.
Isaac liked the truck with a silly horn and the concrete mixer that was turning the best.
Joshua...I think he just took it all in. We were at a nice place, so he could watch out the side window and see them while still sitting in my lap.

Sunday: games
Travis and Allison came over to play games tonight. It was very nice...the kids played well together and so we were able to play Quarriors and Hand and Foot.
Hmm...there was something else that I was going to mention...oh! That elusive smell. It was a bad potato. I had looked at the potato bag several times, but never noticed anything bad nor smelled an extra odor when moving it. But today when cleaning up I noticed a bad one. The smell seems to have disappeared. And, on the bright side, I expect that our disposal is extra clean now too, as I've been trying to get the smell out of there.

Saturday: lake excitement
A hot air balloon made a stop by our lake!
It was kind of funny because Isaac and I were randomly talking about hot air balloons just the other day.
I was rather exhausted today; Joshua hasn't been sleeping well. I went to take my nap after putting Joshua down. Apparently Joshua didn't fall asleep for his nap for Ben and was rather loud. I didn't hear a thing.

Friday: this is life
Today I cleaned the table. Look at it! All clean and empty.
But what you can't see is the mound of clean laundry waiting to be folded. (There's also a load in the washer and drier too. The closets are looking a bit empty.)
Or the kitchen, which never quite can get clean this past week. There are places to put stuff though, so I guess it isn't as messy as possible.
This afternoon I suggested to Isaac that we go to the bird house library or color. He suggested sewing...that was fine with me! Both boys actually ended up on my lap. Joshua got to push the start button and Isaac pushed the stop and all the other buttons. Isaac was very cute as he would help Joshua reach the button and tell him how to press it..."In the middle, Josh-e-a."
After that Isaac decided there were rats on the ceiling and so ran around as fast as his legs would go. He also pumped his arms because that made him "super, super, super fast." He was trapping the rats, and did so for a surprising amount of time.
