Baby 2's room is starting to get a makeover

Don't ask why but baby 2's future bedroom has two doors.  One that leads into the kitchen and one into the hallway.  Pretty stupid, but none the less has been convenient and both fun for Isaac the past couple of years.  He used to run in circles and thought it was the best.  Well...I wanted the door gone for noise issues for baby 2's room so the construction has now started upstairs as well.  Of course Isaac is very involved and helping Daddy whenever he is allowed.

The door that needs to leave

Goodbye door

The other thing that needed to leave in baby 2's room was the laundry shoot.  Isaac has used this as well as a play shoot, and has dropped more things down it than I care to admit too.  It needed to be closed up and Isaac and Daddy were hard at work again.

This was Isaac's favorite part.  He was so happy to stir what he called "paint".

Where is Isaac??

 

Here I am Mommy

Still working on sitting on the couch properly.  Isaac put this box on the couch and then climbed inside.

 

 

 

Over and over again Isaac put himself in this box and said, "shut" and wanted to hide inside.  Again, a little dangerous because it was on top of the couch.  We later put it on the floor and the entertainment continued.  It's been a long winter and now Isaac has resorted to playing with boxes!

Happy Birthday Grandpa Miller

Grandpa Miller recently had a BIG birthday, and Mimi and Louise threw him a big party!  It was fun to get out and do something other than basement work on a Saturday night and even better that baby 2 let me feel okay while there.  Isaac loved spending time with Grandpa and the choo choo during the party and even more so LOVED their cake picnic!!

Yea, for cake!

Anywhere but a chair

 Yesterday, Isaac decided it was not a day for chairs or sitting on appropriate pieces of furniture.  He of course prefers to live on the dangerous side and pile his sitting equipment.  So of course after snapping the picture the fight for the day was how this is too dangerous and chairs, scooters, etc. needed to be kept on the floor.

 Well...Then the next morning Isaac decided to crawl into baby 2's (once his) infant car seat.  He must have sat in here for about 10 minutes just talking and pointing to the new cars on his wall.  Sitting in chairs is just not his thing lately.

Happy Valentine's Day!

There has always been something about Valentine's day, that I have loved.  Too many it is a hallmark holiday but to me it is just one day out of the year to remember all those you love and make sure to tell them on that day in a special way.
Isaac and I started the day by heading to school.  He and I both have colds now so neither one of us truly wanted to be there, but we both did our best.  Isaac has been stunning the teachers with his dancing moves lately and singing and dancing is his favorite part of the class.  We then headed home to see Nana, truly what he wanted to do in the first place.

stuck in the box

It is a little computer that plays songs and you can sing into the mic. 

Isaac was not sure if he liked his present or not.  Nana trying to tell him that she will buy him something else.  we need to work on his manners when opening presents.  It is not okay to say,"no, don't want that."

After our visit with Nana we had to frost our cake and make Daddy his sign.  I frosted and Isaac colored.

Almond cake with Vanilla frosting = delicious

Isaac colored this sign for Seth when he got home.

 When  Seth got home, I am pretty sure he didn't even make it in the door and Isaac announced it was time for cake.  He had been waiting for cake all day and listening to me say, "not until daddy gets home."  Smart boy.  So we ate supper, Isaac pretended and then had cake and more presents.

 My huge present from Seth and Isaac.  Isaac decided it was the perfect place to race his cars.

Isaac helping Daddy with his present.  He got some new shirts and a new brief case.  No more carrying his work papers in cub bags!

Isaac got new race car things for his new Big boy room including a new clothes hamper that he decided to wear.

And...He got a couple of books that he read to us right away.

Despite it being Valentine's day the work on the basement needed to continue.  Grandpa Miller and Seth were back at it after a quick trip to home depot.  Isaac and I spent time decorating his room and playing cars of course.  Then we ended our night with one of Mommy's special doughnuts!

We had a great day, We hope you all were able to do something special on your Valentine's day!

Hats, hats and more hats

Recently, Isaac got a couple of hats from Seth's friend Corey.  Usually he hates hats but lately has become fond of wearing them for a little while around the house.  Of course he puts them on himself and always backwards.

 

He also usually makes us wear the other one.  Lookin' good Seth!

New Stove

Giving the new stove a hug :)

I am sure some of you heard me scream all the way at your homes Wednesday evening when I found out that my brand new stove was delivered broken.  After two weeks without a stove, I really just wanted to cry.  After arguing with the store, and then being surprisingly very pleased with the General Electric fix it man, we now have a new "working" stove.  Of course Isaac needed to be involved in the process and as you can see he helped get rid of the old and welcome the new!!
