Isaac's Costume

It is time for me to prepare once again for one of the GREAT JBF sales.  For those who don't know I sell and purchase a lot of the kids things at this consignment sale and they are great but a lot of work to get all of your stuff ready to sell.  I started going through the rubber maid containers of clothes and weeding out the sale stuff from the goodwill stuff and of course I had TWO excellent little helpers.  Isaac found an old pair of pj's that I don't think he ever wore and an old pair of swim trunks again that he never wore and insisted that he wear them. They are WAY to small for him, but he LOVED it and called it his costume.  He even put on a little story play for me and Addy wearing this outfit.  And of course the anticipation of showing Daddy his costume when he got home from work added to the joy and fun Isaac was having with his "costume"

Standing on his stage putting on his story play.  He made me shut the blinds for the curtain.

As you can see the pants from the pj's look like capri's and then he put the swim trunks over them. And the shirt is sooooo tight and goes to like his belly button ha ha ha

Addy the Begger

Addy wants big people food soooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad!!!  She paces the couch walking back and forth while Isaac eats a snack.  Thinking she may get something that drops.  She is constantly reaching for people's plates, food and drinks and if she gets a hold of anything she typically likes what she tastes.  Maybe a sign she is bored with her veggies and fruits, I am not sure but it is pretty funny.

she loves looking in the fridge which leads to taking and this day she reached Isaac's cup and put it directly into her mouth. 

I got this off of mom's dinner plate when she left the room.

Not sure what it is?

Yummy!  I love CHICKEN!  It was a huge hunk of chicken that she picked up and starting chewing on.

14 Hour saturday

This past weekend Seth had to work ALL day and by all day I mean 14 hours!!  It was a long 14 hours, especially on a Saturday when we both had colds.  I started documenting the day, because I wasn't sure Seth would believe all that went on.  By start I mean, I lasted with my documentation until about 2 pm when I either forgot what I was doing or was too tired to continue.
The day started bright and early as it always does at our house, but this morning was slightly different.  Isaac decided to wake up Addy by climbing into her crib.  Her room know has a child proof knob on it.

She got even she knocked him over!

Then Isaac was able to go to Lowes to make a special project with Nana and Papa.  He was very excited and had his apron and ear protection on early waiting for them.  Ha ha the ear protection was not required but he had to try them on.

You can see Addy tugging at him for attention.  Addy is always looking for his attention.

Isaac returned and the two of them decided it would be fun to play trucks and cars together.  Fun for whom, I am not sure.  Isaac of course had his plan for where the trucks and cars should go and Addy also had her plan for where she thought they should go.

started out great.  Addy watching and Isaac playing

All lined up and ready for transport

Yep, here comes the screaming because Addy is wrecking the transportation route.

The cars are making the jump to the couch

stopping to fill a couple up with gas.  This is very delicate work.

Finally she got one!!

Finally....this brings us to lunch time.  Usually this goes well, and both are happy when food is involved.  But of course not today.

started out okay...falling asleep in her chair with her bottle

Then she woke up..mad that her bottle was gone.  Tried her cereal and as you can see that ended up on the wall  and everywhere else because she spit it out.

Well....That ends the documentation for the day.   After this mess was cleaned up we just continued in this fashion until bed time....which that is another story for another day as well.

2 is Trouble

It is rare that Isaac takes a nap, and I mean really rare.  However, on this particular day he was extra extra tired and passed out on the couch.  It is even rarer that both of them are sleeping at the same time.  I decided to let Isaac sleep a little and much to my surprise Addy was not having the idea of alone time with Mommy.  Once she discovered that Isaac was on the couch she wouldn't leave his side.  She yelled at him, hit him, stamped her foot and screamed but nothing woke up Isaac.  Her playmate was sleeping and she didn't understand why.  I tried moving her to the basement to give Isaac a couple of minutes of peace but she screamed all the more.  Once back upstairs she crawled right back over to him and demanded his attention once again.  I can't believe Isaac slept through most of the craziness but then yes she did end of waking him up in the long run.

wake up Isaac!  I am going to hit you until you wake up!

I was talking to her telling her to be nice

Back at it again

Isaac finally decided to curl up in a ball and try it ignore her!!

Addy had Surgery

Addy has been sick with ear infections since Thanksgiving and the meds were simply not working after trying so many.  She would be off of the meds for just a few days before we were back at the Dr. and right back on.  We also made a trip with her to the ER to find that her ear drums were bulging and very swollen.  Enough was enough and I fought our way into the ENT pretty quickly and got her scheduled for tubes within the same week.  It was scary to think about my precious 9 month old being put out but it was desperately needed to try and solve her pain.  Not sure if the procedure worked yet or not she is just about three days off her meds now.  Praying that the tubes work and stay in long enough to out grow this problem otherwise she will need another set.
Here is a couple of pictures right before the surgery.  I was able to take her back into the OR, and hold her while being put asleep so hence my lovly attire.

Waiting for our name to be called

Christmas

Christmas this year was GREAT!  Addy and Isaac both enjoyed opening presents and Santa did not disappoint either child.  Isaac got his green present (George the steam tractor) and Addy got her purple car amongst other things of course.  It took a complete day to put all the new toys away and clean out the old, but they seem to be very happy.  Both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we spent at my Mom and Dad's with church on Christmas Eve and breakfast at our house Christmas morning.  We were busy, but we LOVED it!!  Enjoy some of the pics of Isaac and Addy opening presents and chasing after each other.
