Chopsticks

Got home a little bit ago from hanging out with Laiya all day. Isaiah didn't have his dinner yet so he looks in the fridge to find himself some jell-o. He asked if he could have some. I told him to use a spoon. He came over to me and I said "oh, you like jell-o?" I looked at him and noticed he had his chopsticks. He figured out how to get to his jell-o by using his chopsticks to break up the jell-o and pour it into his mouth! There wasn't any spoons in the drawer so he used his chopsticks! Great kid.

Fancy phones...you can throw yourself out the window. You're in the car in the cold. I bet you don't like 27 degree weather. Haha.

Found a picture from Easter. This is what I look like with 3 kids.


If I could only turn into Elasti-Girl from Incredible....Everything would be great.

Why there's no snow yet.

Isaiah explained to me this morning why there's no snow yet in Iowa. I was disappointed we woke up to no snow after the weather lady tells us for days snow will be coming. She's on the tv screen really confident that we're going to wake up to snow. What a hoot.

Isaiah...there's no snow. Mom is sad.

No snow yet.

There's no snow yet? Mom wants snow.

No snow yet. Snow sleeping.

Snow sleeping?

Uh huh. Snow sleeping. Snow get mad.

Snow is mad? No...snow is not mad.

Isaiah say "shhhhh." Snow get mad.

Recap of last several days.

Wednesday - Last minute grocery shopping. Made pumpkin pie and upside-down pineapple cake. Isaiah kept saying "I want apple pie! Now!" When he's married or can bake himself he can make whatever he wants...this year its pumpkin pie and upside-down pineapple cake.

Thursday - Woke up extra early just to put the turkey in the oven. Went back to bed. Woke up again to finish everything else. Had lunch, dessert, lunch, dessert, and then dinner. Isaiah asked for apple pie again. I already told you there's no apple pie.

Friday - Ate leftovers and more leftovers. No Black Friday shopping for me. Put up Christmas decorations and Isaiah even got to decorate his own tree. All the ornaments were in one area. If you didn't know Isaiah you would think someone short put up the ornaments. He did really good but he does think its "lotta work."

Saturday until now - All I remember is food. We just kept eating. My rib cage hurts.

*Will post pictures later. I think there were some taken.

Halloween.

I try hard to teach Isaiah to not be afraid. So with it being Halloween everywhere - I put Isaiah in front of ghoulish things and yell "BOO!" I also bought a cd with scary sounds so he could listen to what "eeeek, haaahahahaaa, Ooooooohhh, yaaaaaaa, smack, smack, creek, errrr" sounds like. I made Isaiah stand in front of the spooky floating ghost at Target so he could hear and see what it does. He liked it so much that everytime we went to Target we had to push the button so that the ghost did his thing and Isaiah would freak himself out (this backfired a little - mom doesn't need to stop by the Halloween aisle every time we made a trip to Target). Just stuff like that.

I've been told I did pretty well this Halloween. This looked so much better at night. Had the scary creepy sound playing in the background too.




Please no more pictures!


Who lives in a pineapple under the sea and hands out treats? Spongebob Squarepants!


Where's Isaiah?


Creepy lab experiement.

The other night.

Isaiah...You need to close your eyes so we can all go to sleep. Mom is going to count to three. One...two...close your eyes Isaiah. OK! I close eyes! Three. I can't! I can't! Eyes not close!

All at the same time.

I witnessed Isaiah all at the same time pee, cough and fart. I didn't know that was possible. Pee, cough and fart...Sometimes I wish there was a camera attached to my forehead.

Trick to falling asleep by 843pm.

Today we start at the pumpkin patch. The nice girl who gave me directions was right about being in the middle of nowhere and "you cant put our address into your navigation."

Isaiah and Laiya feeding the goats. They each chose a goat.

This is a real chicken coop. And those are real chicken eggs. Those white ones we find at grocery stores - they got nothing on this.

Run chicken! Run.

We see-saw.

Feed more animals...and do other Pumpkin Patch-y things.

At another Halloween Party. Activities included magnets, slime, things that blew up, inflatables, candy and more candy. Just alot of stuff.

If you've never seen a run-away shark. Here's your chance. All 39 inches and 34lbs.

Shark roasting marshmallows - Yep...they do it too.

Sleeping shark.

This is the most handsomest sleeping shark ever! EVER!

Wedgie

I gave Isaiah a wedgie. I laughed. Isaiah said - Hey! Not funny! No not funny! You want get smack? I laughed some more. Isaiah said - Stop! Not funny! I gave him another wedgie. He found a bag of his markers and asked in the sweetest voice if he could draw. I laughed again. Isaiah said - this cool. Hm...I like draw.

Sorry Quailman. Summer is officially over. 48 degrees this morning! *(&^%$#@)(^%#@

I had another fish dream the other night. This time there was a fish and a starfish...together. I was told starfishes cant swim but it sure did in my dream.

Poo.

Why must Isaiah poo? I was pulling his underwear down when this large mound of poo plopped on the ground in public! I panicked. I didnt know what to pick it up with...I almost left it there just because it was funny. Disgusting. Human poo is different from animal poo. New purchase - pooper scooper.

Good idea.

Isaiah's new word at the moment is "good idea." He uses it any chance he gets. Isaiah would you like to go outside? Good idea. Isaiah would you like some milk? Good idea. Most recent was this morning when I asked him if mommy should be Cinderella for halloween. His response - good idea.


I imagine Isaiah is wishing hard for something. I hope its a castle with a personal chef...and maybe a driver, a pony, and green grass all around. Wishful thinking...wishful. Reality just threw a rock at me.


Or just put me in front of Oprah. You get a castle! You get a castle! You! You! And you!

Drive.

I'm parked in the garage. Isaiah is messing around in the back seat. I hear "drive mom. Put keys in." So demanding.

Girls are fast.

This arrived at my doorstep. I wondered if there was a return address...

He promised to be a good boy so I let him out.

Getting bubblegum. Girls are always faster.

Trying to blow bubbles but the closest they got to one was sticking their gum out for me to see. Ok maybe later.

Wait. I almost got it. I need share. Snake hungry. Really? The snake is hungry?

I know there's more to this cave then this hole in a rock. Look up there! I hear a sound! I hear it!

Break for raisins.

Crying? Louder? Thats all you got? Let me know when you're done.

I not crying now. Sniff...sniff. Are you sorry that you dunked your body in the water? I told you not to do that. Uh huh. Sorry mom.

Girls are smart. Dinosaurs do eat other animals. Thats a lion in the dinosaurs mouth.

Mom. If Tasha's driving then I'm not sure if I want to be passenger...

Isaiah makes a great bus driver.

This bus was made for 2 adults and 1 child or 1 midget.

Sometimes Isaiah is a doggy.

My dream or his dream?

Isaiah said "there's a cat! There's a cat! Its right there! Right there!" I'm freaking out and told him that I don't see a cat and tried to calm him down. He was very sure there was a cat on his pillow. I switched out his pillow with mine but it didnt do the trick. I realized he was dreaming again! OMG. This boy.

But the weird part was that he woke me up from my dream about killer goldfishes! In my dream water was everywhere about knee high and there were these really pretty goldfishes - large and small. Someone warned me not to get near these fishes because they're killer. I didn't believe it because seriously - killer goldfishes? Right. Anyway, some were coming near us pretty quickly but being me in my dream I thought I could just kick one of these suckers back to its little habitat. OMG. That little sucker stuck to my foot! I should've listened! The scales on the fish were sharp! In my dream it didnt hurt but it was stuck to my foot and had to get help to pull the fish from my foot! I was freaking out like nothing else. I needed to know what happened in my dream so I tried to dream it again but it didnt work.

Whats your name?

Whats your name? I'm Isaiah. What's mommy's name? Uh...mommy! Good boy! Whats daddy's name? Uh...daddy go work! Hahahahahahaha!

No Way!

Does this look like the face of someone who elbows you in the face or kicks you in your throat while you're sleeping? No way!




This face does!



Please women. Back off. No more pictures!


Isaiah wins!


Yea! You better run from the mommy monster! She's going to drench you!!!!

Wait! I forgot you guys can get me back!

Stay away! Mommy monster cant get wet!


Hello? Room service? I need someone to come clean this booger from my leather chair. Or you can send Tasha over.



Still keeping Isaiah busy...Kids these days get into too much trouble. This is how we do it.
