Hooker?

Isaak was playing with a Fisher Price Little People Ship a few mornings back.

He set it up on a kitchen chair and said, "This ship needs to get up on an island! He doesn't want to leave his hooker behind!"

I looked over and knew exactly what he was talking about. I said, "You mean to say, 'He doesn't want to leave his anchor behind.'"

Girls VS Boys

Some people have asked me if we will try having a girl? The answer is, NOPE. We're done. Two little beings is a lot to take care of. I know if we would have had more, we would have found a way and we would have loved them just the same as we do our boys. We decided that with the crazy economy, our bad luck with having sick babies, what seems like a full house, and busy lives that we were done.

There was one time I wished I had a girl. I thought for some reason, Mica was for sure a girl. I had all sister's, Grandma Spiehs had all sisters and Daddy had a sister. I just thought it was in our genes to have a girl. Our girl name was Savannah Claire. I still love the name.

I realized awhile ago that boys can at times be similar to girls. They are very different to.


Here are the similarities:

•Mica loved playing with Fisher Price The Little People. Really they are just small versions of dolls. They all have names that I remember. They have movies and books with these characters in them.

We have 3 Sarah Lynn's and 3 Eddie's with his Frog Freddie.

•Isaak carries around a small bowlful of these babies:

I collected them after my cousin's baby show in March. Isaak keeps them in a blue bowl and just walks around with them. Sometimes he lines them up on the coffee table, sometimes he transfers them to a small case he has and other times we step on them. It hurts just like stepping on Lego's. One day while at work, I found one of these babies in my coat pocket. Isaak had tried taking one out of the house. I put it on the front desk at work. A student that happens to have my name had picked it up and claimed the baby as her own. Where did it end up? In her paint water of course. :) A floating baby:

•Isaak loves stuffed animals. He likes them just as much as I liked my dolls when I was his age.

•Mica in particular loves to play dress up! Sure it's not fancy lace gloves and purses like when I was his age. Instead it's a super hero, a pirate, a doctor, Santa Claus and every week he claims Sunday as Sheriff Sunday.

•This last Saturday both Isaak and Mica sat down and watched The Sound of Music with me. No complaints. Mica just rolled his eyes when I wouldn't stop singing along. LOL

They sat through that musical better than a football game. Sorry Daddy!

They are all boy in other ways:

• Everyday there is rough play.
• Sound effects take over most conversations. 
• Balls are thrown throughout the house. Nope, we never made a rule not to throw a ball inside. Possibly a mistake. Nothing has gotten broken yet.
• They love to camp.
• They love to jump.
• Isaak loves cars.
• Mica loves Transformers.
• They both love to build.

Nothing is ever dull at our house. I love my boys! 

Wordfull Wednesday - Little People Line Up

We have a lot of Fisher Price Little People! Mica LOVED them when he was Isaak's age. Isaak doesn't get into them as much.

I decided to get the boy's involved with lining the Little People up. It was my idea. They showed interest right away. Isaak lined up the animals, while Mica helped me line up the people.

• Yes we have two Maggie's, three Sarah Lynn's, five Eddie's and two Farmer Jed's. At least they are different versions!
• Can you tell that Mica really got into them? I know all their names!

• Of course with everything that you build or put together, there has to be an act of destruction! 
• Here they are fighting over who gets to knock the Little People down like Domino's. 
• I should have stepped in and said, "Ok! Enough! I get to knock them down because it was my idea boy's!" I didn't dare! 
• Isaak got to knock them down because it's his room after all. They came to an agreement.

Except they didn't knock down like Domio's. ;)

Little People Sets

• These Little People Sets have been a big hit with Mica this year. He plays with them so different then Isaak.
• Mica gets out the Fisher Price catalog he has, finds the set, and wants to set everything up the way it looks in the picture. 
• Isaak takes as many Little People as he can find, and piles them in the Little People bus like sardines. 
• I did happen to see a Little People bench flipped over with Little People laying in it. Isaak said they were sleeping. Off to bed they went.

"Hey Where Did All My Cars Go?"

• Isaak took all of Mica's Hot Wheel cars and stuffed them into his Little People Bus. 
• Mica asked, "Hey where did all my cars go?" 
• Isaak the packer was at it again!

City Life on Father's Day

• Daddy was pretty busy at work this weekend.
• He came home today on Father's Day around 5:30 to play with the boys while I made dinner.
• They built a city of just about every kind of toy Mica and Isaak have. If you click on the picture you can see Lego's, Little People, Team GeoTrax, Imaginext and more.

• Then when the boys went down for the night, Daddy went back to work in an unhappy mood.
• He didn't want to go back in.
