Thursday: around the house

Yesterday while photographing weeds (or not weeds) I noticed that we can see under the fake roof under the deck.  It is not very well made and Ben and I are hoping to take it down sometime this summer.  Anyway, can you see the wooden boards in the middle of the photo?  And how much they've warped?  If that can even be considered warping.  It might be too severe.

My clothes line!  It sunned for a few minutes in the morning so I put some diaper covers out.  It proceeded to be not sunny and not windy, so they only dried a little bit.

I have a drinking problem.  Or a cleaning up problem.  It looks a little better now.

Isaac wore matching shirt and socks today.  He put the hat on for the photo, but it was a bit small.

The laundry is all unpacked!  Dad came and helped us take the folding doors off today.  While they nicely kept it hidden within the room, one of them blocks the "outer" door from closing if it is open.  So it was a pain because I always had to open and close two doors to get to the dryer.  Or if they were open I didn't have much room to get in and out.

I got a check for one cent.  I will be depositing it, but only because I have another check to deposit too.

Wednesday: weed or not weed?

So with moving into a new house, a lot of green things are popping up and I don't know what they are.  So we're going to play a game of "Weed or not weed".  I put some polls on the side of the blog for easy voting.

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

Exhibit C

Exhibit D

 Exhibit E

 

Exhibit F

Exhibit G

This isn't a weed (well, the long leafed thing).  But we have a ton of it.  Do you know what it is?

 

Finally, Exhibit H

Tuesday: mouth

Today's theme was mouth.  But let's be honest, it is really just a reason for me to take pictures.  

This is Isaac's mouth.

He uses it to give kisses. (Sort of)

And to eat bibs. (I just got a bad picture of him doing it.)

And rings.

Mouths are also used to "EAT YOUR FACE OFF!"

We also visited Betsy and Ethan!  Ethan and Isaac weighed the same when they were born...it's amazing to see how much Isaac has grown (and how heavy he's gotten.)

And finally, no support!  (Although, it lasted pretty much just long enough for me to take a picture.)

Monday: covers

When Ben and I went to bed last night, we noticed that the covers were skewed; there as a sheet corner between us and a quilt corner between us.  Who was stealing the covers?!?

Amanda was stealing the sheet.  Ben was stealing the quilt.  The blanket in between the two stayed even.

How does this happen?  It actually happens to us all the time. I understand one person stealing all the covers, but just one layer?

Does anyone else have this problem?

Sunday: super baby

Today we had a super-baby for a few minutes.  But then we had to turn the cape back around to catch the drool.

We also had a life group initial meeting today.  (Life group = small group = Bible Study)  This one went a lot better than the one in September.  And we have another date scheduled, so that's nice too!

Saturday: lots of stuff

The day began by the microwave breaking.  Bother.  But then I fixed it!  It was just a blown fuse.  But I'm not really sure how I even knew that microwaves had fuses...

Isaac sat on his own for about 20 seconds.  Not long enough for any pictures, but long enough for Ben and I to get excited.

I helped some friends move (although I wasn't able to help for very long).

We went to Scarlet's birthday party.  Allison made a gorgeous (and delicious) cake and it was nice to see people again.

Friday: 16 weeks and other fun stuff

Isaac is 16 weeks old!  This past week he started peeing while getting his diaper changed at night.  I find this extra problematic because by the time I realize what's going on, everything is all wet.  Then I can't think straight, so half the time I get him all redressed before deciding that the clothes are really too wet to continue wearing.  I'm working on keeping him covered better, but there are just some points during a change when that isn't possible.

Here he is looking out the window.  He had a rather grumpy day requiring a bit more holding than normal.  However, he also had an extra tiring day, so he slept a lot.

I got to talk with Jess today and that was a lot of fun...we haven't done that for about a year.  I finally found our hammer.  My first quilt pattern sold for the first time.  I put a new walker foot on my sewing machine and tried a new stitch.  Hooray!
