"I don't feel like being an adult today," I said as I cleaned out dirt (and toys) from under the refrigerator.  It was kind of a fun task, and one that's needed to be done for a while.  But I didn't feel like having other adult responsibilities today.

Saturday: nursery and pool

This morning we made some good progress on the baby's room; it is finally starting to look like a room and not just a place to dump stuff.  Isaac and I finished up the crib while Ben was sleeping, and then while I was getting my hair cut they got some shelves put together.

I got home and Isaac showed me the location of every screw. :)

I also chopped off my hair.  Here's the before picture; you'll have to look at the swimming picture for an ok after picture.  It's a bit above shoulder length, which is rather nice.

Then we went to Jamie's pool for the afternoon...it was a lot of fun.

 Isaac also really enjoyed being lowered from the diving board, sort of like one of the boys.  However, he wasn't willing to swim all by himself yet.  One more thing to work on. :D

Thursday: party pictures

Here are the pictures from Isaac's party on Monday...

Balloons!

Isaac likes to take pictures too.  I'm 35 weeks pregnant here.  And there was a good reason I was sitting on the floor, but I don't remember what it was.

Eating

Cupcakes!  I forgot the ice cream...but then, I almost forgot the cupcakes too.  Although Isaac probably would have been happy to eat all of them later.

In other news, having fireworks at 1:45am is really not that acceptable.  Isaac and I both are at the light part of our sleep cycle then and I got up with him three times in 1.5 hours because he kept waking up.  To be fair, I was rather awake for the first two though.  (I'll be honest...the only reason I think it is ok earlier in the evening is because Isaac sleeps through them.  If he was waking up every half hour this would be a different rant.)

Wednesday: hmm

I had a lot of things I wanted to do today.

I didn't do most of them.  I just didn't feel like it.  Or I got sidetracked.  And then the day was done!

I did decide to start a puzzle.  My reasoning?  It's part of the nursery decor.  So I was being productive by doing it.

Tuesday: presents and babies

We tried out all of Isaac's presents today, including his bike.

Then tonight we went to the Big Brother, Big Sister class at the hospital.  I thought it was ok.  But...it's hard to tell what he's picking up.  It is also possible that just going to the hospital and holding a baby doll helps solidify what is going to happen.

We went over many times that we went to the hospital to learn about babies, not to pick up a baby.  I think he was a little sad that we weren't coming home with a baby yet.

Monday: too smart

Tonight was Isaac's birthday party (pictures to come).  Ben and I got him a balance bike.  So this morning we were at the store in the helmet section, and I was trying to be sneaky.

Amanda: Hey Isaac, let's get a hat.
Isaac: I like this one.
Amanda: ok, can you put it in the cart?
Isaac: Bike too?

How does he know they were bike helmets?  We don't bike lately.

Saturday: really

Isaac has recently discovered that really can be an adverb.  So lately we've been getting descriptions like "When I'm really, really, really, really bigger I can touch the ceiling."

Ben was also putting together his birthday present tonight and Isaac asked, "Is Dad drumming?"  I responded with, "It does sound like that, doesn't it?"  I felt sneaky in a good, parenty way.
