Saturday: circuit

I accidentally made the circuit we've been trying to make...where one light is on and then you flip the switch and the other light is on.

Of course, Isaac then wanted one, so I had to figure out what I did.  The resistor is the key.

Friday: Betsy

Today was a fun filled day, much of it spent with Betsy.

We brought the kids to the aquatic center.  Isaac had a good time, although I'd be hard pressed to tell you what he did except swing for ten minutes.  Joshua stuck very close to me.  He went down the slide once at the beginning, but that was all.  He didn't seem bored though, just a bit overwhelmed and was taking it all in.

This evening Betsy and I went to see Hidden Figures.  It was excellent.  The crowd reactions to some of the segregation removal was interesting...not only where they happy it was happening (obviously), but there was some cheering and snapping and clapping.  Not too much, but I'm not sure I've heard that much in a movie theater before.

Wednesday/Thursday: CD player

Aunt CC brought the boys an old CD player.  It has lots of buttons and the kids are thoroughly enjoying it.  Isaac was so excited when he discovered the handle and the antenna.  They've also put socks in the tape player part...

Tuesday: back to work

Or back to school, with new backpacks, as the case may be.  They were both rather excited about their backpacks.  Joshua puts his own hat on.  He gets it on, so that's what I care about.

Work went well too.  It was the first day and I was pretty prepared, so I didn't feel too rushed.  Thursday will be a bit harder as I have a class in the morning too.

Monday: things I never thought I'd say

Here's the next installment of things I never thought I'd say...

Amanda: If we agree on something, we're not allowed to fight about it.

(Joshua didn't want me to cut his sandwich.  I agreed and put the knife on the other side of the kitchen.  He screamed at me not to cut it.)

Amanda: I got a bad ticket because I called you Isaac instead of Puppy Dog?

(I got three bad tickets today and one good ticket...)

Sunday: busy day

Today was a rather busy day as we hosted Life Group (aka Bible Study) at our house.  The kids played together very well in the morning though as food was prepped and the house cleaning finished.  They spent about 20 minutes playing with the exersauser, taking all the toys out, putting them in upside-down, and spinning each other around.

Saturday: growing up

A few days ago Joshua got a tray like Isaac's.  He's been doing a good job staying on it until he's done eating.  And he was able to get his own treat after lunch!  He is just as wiggly as Isaac is, but as long as their torso is on/over the carpet square they can wiggle away.

He's also still in his pajamas because he loves his pajamas.  He seems to take after Ben that way. :)

Oh!  And he was in underwear last night.  That's one of the reasons he was in pajamas all day...we didn't need to change him out of his pull-up.  I think he's only been wet once or twice in the last month, so it seemed like time.  I think he kind of realizes that if he doesn't have accidents then he gets to keep his pajamas on longer.
