Kidorable

• Kidorable seriously has an umbrella to match each kid's personality.
• One Savvy Mom! is giving away one umbrella from this company!

Here's what I like for Mica:

This one totally fits Isaak:

Gifts for Anyone!

• If you have never heard of the store Hayneedle, you should certainly check them out!
• One Savvy Mom! is hosting to give away a $50 gift card to this store!
• Here are a few things I was looking at: 

A Toy That is Great For Mica's Age!

One Savvy Mom! is also hosting to giveaway: Gears! Gears! Gears!® Lights & Action Building Set.

This type of toy is great for anyone that likes to build. Mica loves to put things together. Give him a train track or puzzle and he's all over it!

The Boy's Love Seeing This Toy in the Stores!

• Like I said, the boys love seeing this toy in the stores! One Savvy Mom! is giving one away!
• If I were to win this, I'd save it and give it to Isaak for his birthday. He'd would be so excited to open up a present and see BIGFOOT the monster!

2 Way Conversations!

• Isaak's been having 2 way conversations a lot.
• He's down for a nap and his conversation sounds like this:

Isaak one: Are you Isaak?
Isaak two: No! I Isaak Jaxon Apel
Isaak one: Who's in your family?
Isaak two: Isaak Jaxon Apel, Bica {Mica} Zachary Apel, Mommy, Daddy, Gandma {Grandma}, Gandpa {Grandpa} and so on...

• Then he breaks out into song. 
• I wonder if he'll talk and sing himself to sleep? Maybe his conversation is too deep for that! LOL

Letter From Santa

• The boy's got a special letter last night! It was one from Santa!
• They both wanted to open it. A little bit of tug of war happened. Of course we didn't want them to rip it. Especially on Isaak's end. We had to meddle.
• Mica listened to Daddy read the letter. 

• The letter was addressed to: Masters Mica and Isaak Apel.
• It came with a sample of wood chips straight from Santa's workshop! 

My favorite parts of the letter are:
Mica, Mrs. Claus and I are delighted that you have started to learn how to sound out words, that you have a great imagination and are a good singer! Isaak, I've heard some of your knock-knock jokes and they make my belly laugh like a bowlful of jelly!

When my elf Earl checked in on you last, he noticed you were playing with each other. I think Earl said that Mica was playing with the GeoTrax trains and the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine. Isaak, Earl wanted to know why you like to pack your toys up in bags to carry them around?? Are you practicing to be me?? HO HO HO! That sounds like so much fun!

• Isaak was swirly as the letter was being read. 
• Then he only wanted to wrestle after Daddy read it. He charged Mica, and knocked him over.

Growing Like Weeds

• Mica {5 years} fits in some size 7 shirts and Isaak {2 years} fits in some 4T pj's. 
• They seem to be growing like weeds!

And Just so You Know...

Our House Doesn't Really Look Like the Postcard in the Post Below. 

• We spent lots of time getting toys out of each boy's room. Daddy and I had lots of fun setting everything up. The kids wanted to play while we set up.
• The boy's have bins and places to put their things. They do have a lot of toy's, but the picture consolidates the toy's in one small area, which makes it look like they do have all of Toy's R Us in one bedroom. LOL

The Wise Man Did Great!

• Mica did great as a Wise Man. 
• He participated in the actions. He sang, but not the whole time.

It looks like the Wise Man is flashing the audience here.

See...good actions!

With the actions it looks like the Wise Man is about to knock out his fellow student.
