Pajama Time!

• Today my boy's went to Grandma and Grandpa Spiehs' house in their pajamas.
• They didn't go there like that because we're lazy. 
• Mica had Pajama Day for preschool. 
• Mica's been asking about when it's going to be for two weeks. 
• Isaak caught wind of it, and wanted to dress in his pajama's too. 
• I brought clothing for them to change into if they need to go anywhere else. 
• Later today pajama's might get a little cold. It's supposed to snow up to 3 inches by the end of the day. I'm not sure if that will happen or not. Nebraska's weather is unpredictable.

We Heart You Daddy - Sticky Notes

• I had an idea. It was a sudden impulse idea. 
• I told Mica and Isaak that when we got home we were going to do something special for Daddy.
• I asked if they were going to help me? They were in!
• I made tons of these sticky notes. Ya, this is not exactly an environmental, tree hugging plan. 

It Says "We Heart U Daddy". I made many of them!

• Mica kept asking me where to put the sticky notes? Isaak kept needing help sticking them to things. But the boy's were super excited! 
• It was like Easter watching them run around!

The sticky notes were all over the kitchen, stuck to the TV, stuck to Daddy's alarm clock, on all the doors, lets just say we put them everywhere!

• Then Daddy got home. Mica ran to him and said, "Daddy you need to close your eye's." 
• The boy's were on super speed then! They were running around sticking notes here and there. They looked like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off. Ok...not so nice of an image, but you get my point.

Daddy collecting notes.

• Mica told Daddy where most of them were. ;)
• Daddy enjoyed it!

Too Cute to Not Share!

• Mica's really getting into art lately. 
• That's not all he's into. He loves to write things out. They don't always come out spelled right. I love that he tries though!

This one say's, "Happy Birthday" only it's "Hapberthd". So cute!

Movie Night!

• Now that Isaak will watch TV, movie nights are fun! We don't let our kids watch a lot of TV, but we do have an occasional movie night.
• One thing we are not is with it when it comes to modern TV watching.  We don't have cable, Blu-Ray, high definition TV and more bells and whistles. 
• Go Graham Go is hosting a great giveaway! 
• Orville Redenbacher is giving away a whole movie package!
• The package includes:

1. A Blu-Ray Player
2. $10 Snapfish Gift Certificate
3. Movie Theater Candy
4. 1 Free Rental From Redbox
5. A Board Game
6. Orville Redenbacher Pop and Win Popcorn

Wordless Wednesday - Proud of His Potty Accident

Potty accidents really are not a big deal to me. It happens. I just thought it was so funny that Isaak was so happy about his accident!

Isaak Has Stranger Anxiety Right Now

You can read my post about this here.

Travling Around Town

• This morning we went to Borders to get a few books with Grandma and Grandpa Spiehs' Valentines gift cards.
• The boy's were super excited!

Mica got this book:

I like the illustrations mixed with photography! It's a Caldecott Honor book.


Isaak got these books:

Isaak likes the shape of the bus. I liked that the Spot book was on the clearance rack, and it came with 3 stories on DVD!

• Then we went to Nobbies. I had to get a few party game things for my cousins baby show next week.
• Our last trip was to Costco. Isaak kept saying, "I want bamples please!" I could not tell what he was asking me at first! He was getting frustrated with me. Finally I figured out that "Bamples" are "Samples". He kept asking for samples over and over again. A few people laughed and one lady said, "He knows about the good stuff!"
• In the car Isaak untied his shoes and said, "I tied my shoes Mommy." Little stinker! He also unraveled one of my favorite hats he has a week ago. 
• Today the boy's both got an A+ while running errands. They were really good. No complaining. Isaak stayed dry.
• I didn't need to make lunch when we got home thanks to all of Costco's samples, or should I say, "Bamples"! ;)

Family Night

• We had my side of the family over tonight. 
• I cleaned all day. I have to admit that since I work full time, blog a lot, cook most of our meals with Daddy, have 2 young kids, Daddy babysits 2 more sometimes and Daddy and I have opposite work schedules, I'm not the best house keeper. I think that was a run on sentence. ;)
• I found tons of Duplo's, balls and other random toys under the couch. The boy's got out things as fast as I put things away. Isaak stepped in my dirt pile three times. I stepped in it once. I got distracted because Isaak wanted milk.
• Everyone came over. Chips got all over the floor and dishes filled the dishwasher. It was time to clean again. Now it's done. 
• We had fun! The food was great. Everyone brought something, which was great!
• Isaak wigged out though. I'm not sure why. He just started bawling, and only wanted Mommy and Daddy. He did go to Uncle Tyson for awhile. We thought that maybe he didn't feel good. Later tonight he was dancing and jumping around. I'm wondering if maybe he just got overwhelmed with all the people? Who knows. Two year old's can be odd sometimes.
• It was good seeing everybody. I don't get to see Aunt Angela's family a lot. Daddy and Aunt Terra babysit Mica, Cousin Evan, Isaak and Elijah; I don't. It's nice to see the youngest kid's play together! I was happy Great Grandpa Kent came over as well. Great Grandma Kent just went into a home, so I know he has to be lonely. I love everyone else too!

Kung Fu Fighting

I was cracking up earlier this week. I just couldn't stop laughing at Mica and Cousin Evan's conversation. 

It went like this:

• Mica was jumping around kicking and punching in the air all through this conversation.
• Evan said, "Mica what are you doing?"
• Mica said, "I'm Kung Fu Fighting!"
• Evan said, "No you're not Mica! You can't learn to Kung Fu fight until you're six years old!"
• Mica said, "I'm a Kung Fu Master!"
• Evan said, "Whatever Mica! You don't know real Kung Fu!"
• Mica said, "I learned true Kung Fu from Kung Fu Panda!"

Later on I asked Aunt Terra where Evan got the six years old bit? She said, "You have to be six to sign up to learn Kung Fu at the community center {cousin} Ethan learned at."

Evan and Mica are three months apart. Isaak and cousin Elijah {Evan's brother} are 2 months apart.

Here are a few of my favorite photo's of Evan and Mica together:

Field Trip to Valentino's

• We went to Valentino's Pizza for a field trip.
• Mica and I learned how to make pizza.
• We watched a video, and then made our personal pan pizza's.

Then we ate our yummy pizza!
