Friendly haunted house

A co-worker had two extra tickets to the Children's Museum preview night for their haunted house. So, we went to preview night of the "friendly" haunted house...the lights were on. Isaac loved it. When we came to the snake room he ran right up to them but then stopped just short of them because the really looked real and said, whoa and screamed. He definitely had to work on his patience because we were behind a slow family and took forever and Isaac kept on wanting to pass them.

Here's a pix of his favorite thing there...the carousel!

Big shoes to fill

Every weekend Nick goes to the movies with his dad (papa for Isaac). And on that Saturday or Sunday, Isaac realizes Nick is not there and I tell him he's at the movies with Papa and runs to back door to wait. This past Sunday while Isaac was yelling for dadda, he found his shoes and then went to back door to find him and give dadda his shoes. After realizing he wasn't there, Isaac decided to walk in his shoes.

Isaac bending down because I was--trying to take his picture--and saying cheese!

Weekend snaps

We celebrated my niece's 2nd birthday this past weekend. Despites colds and bad weather we had fun. My sister did a great job of keeping the kids entertained with crafts. Who knew she was Martha Stewart! See pumpkin cake above...

Isaac with the birthday hat on. Maren decided to make her own hat.

Whenever they are together, they also like to play and jump in the crib. Who knows why!

A simple game is balloons. They had so much fun throwing, sitting on and kicking them around.

Another craft--cut out butterflies and decorating with colored stickers. Isaac is in deep thought in this picture.

Isaac did a great job when Maren opened her presents. He sat quietly next to her. Maren was nice and gave him the bows and wrapping paper as she unwrapped them.

Happy 2nd birthday, Maren! We love you!

Like father like son

When Isaac sits on the couch now, he sits with a 'cuddle pillow' just like his daddy!
