Frog

• Isaak's being a frog for Halloween because that's what fits.
• I wonder if I kiss him...if he'll turn into a prince?
• Mica will have a choice, the dinosaur from last year, or all his fireman get up. Maybe he can be both for different events.

Look-alike Meter

• I don't know if I buy this, but this website has a Look-alike Meter.
• Of course I think it just depends on what picture's you use. Kids looks change all the time too.
• According to the Look-alike Meter Isaak looks more like me by 3% and Mica looks more like me by 5%. I thought it would lean towards Daddy for at least one of the kids. Maybe it's Daddies beard that threw it off.

PBS Clothing

• We don't have cable, so PBS is our channel of choice.
• Mica and my nephew Evan love Caillou and Super Why. I have to say that I think Word World and Super Why really helped the boys learn their letters. Those shows and Wheel of Fortune. Oh...I read to him a lot too! Mica's known all his letters for quite awhile.
• I got all the young boys in our family for Christmas Caillou long sleeve big wheel T-shirts at Ty's Toybox for $16.99 with free shipping since I spent over a certain amount. I didn't put the one I bought on here, just in case Mica would see it. I of course liked the one I got the best! :)
• The long sleeve, short sleeve, ringer t's all cost the same. They have baby, toddler, youth and adult sizes! You can pick the type of shirt, color, color of the font, name on the top or bottom of the design and sometimes the font selection too!
• What I love about this site is that you can personalize the shirts. They actually have Mica and Isaak's names in their data base!

Upside Down Cakes

• It's pretty cute. If you ask Isaak to go upside down, he'll do this.
• Kids are smarter then we think some times.
• I wonder if Isaak learned this from his big brother or just by himself? I remember when Mica learned how to do this, he was about Isaak's age.

Animals

• Both boys liked seeing the cats, goats, pigs, chickens, horses and cows.
• Isaak was sort of fascinated by the clucking of the chickens. He kept pointing at everything saying, "Dat! Dat! Dat!" Translation "That! That! That!" I think Isaak said, "Cat" tonight too.
• Mica wore Travis out and Isaak wore me out.
• We probably had about 2 min of adult talk. The rest was following our boys around.
• But...it was fun!

Mica!

• Mica talked to just about everyone tonight I think. He went up to a girl and asked what those things are in her mouth? They were braces. He also heard a cow in the distance, and called the girl a cow. Travis got after him for that.
• Mica got to meet another kid named Micah (my co-worker's son). They hit it off pretty well. Micah told Mica that he's a pretty funny kid.

Night of Mishaps

• We got into the surprise party house. I smelled poop. I took Isaak into there hall bathroom. Poop was running all down his leg. I kept wondering, "What in the hell am I going to do with this diaper?" I had a plastic bag to put it in. :) I'm so lucky they had a sink with enough counter space to lay Isaak out on!
• We went to go outside. As I went to shut the siding screen door, the door came off! I was thinking, "Oh crap!" Travis tried to help. He got it back on. Later I found that it really just falls off all the time.
• Then I went to set Isaak on a stool, when I picked him up off the stool, the stool fell over onto their brick floor and made a loud sound. I wanted to hide. Nothing broke.
• Isaak tried to pull their cat's fur. I caught him before he got to the cat too much.
• But even with all the mishaps no one seemed to care. Everyone was sort of in their own worlds.

Surprise!

• We went to a surprise party tonight. We got there, and there were cars everywhere. I was trying to hurry things along because I knew my co-worker (whom it was for) would be there any moment. Guess what? He drove up right as we were getting out of the car! :( I was thinking crap we ruined it!
• But...I think he would of figured it out anyhow because of all the cars.
• He did look confused and asked why we were there? I just sort of shrugged my shoulders.
• It was a ways away. Past the city part of Bennington, NE. Mica took forever to finish his food before we left. But...I hated that we were one of the last people to get there! Usually I'm early. Well we were by 5 min.

Fit For Some Kings

• We're going to a surprise party where there will be a hog roast. We made a pit stop to Burger King first because the dinner for the party won't be until 8 pm. I didn't think the kids would last that long.
