Stuck

• Daddy stuck Isaak in this basket.
• He didn't seem to mind it at first.

Cheerleader

• I was worried about having Isaak outside with me.
• But...it was like having a cheerleader cheer me on.
• Every shovel full of snow put on the snow mountain in our driveway Isaak clapped and he said, "Ma Ma" over and over again.

Dapper Dan

• Isaak got Dapper Dan from Aunt Angela.
• To be honest I thought Isaak would be more excited when opening Dapper Dan. He saw what his cousin Elijah opened, and wanted that instead. Elijah opened a glow worm. Isaak already has a glow worm. He calls the glow worm his "Baby". The gifts were opened right before bedtime, so I imagine when he saw Elijah's gift, he wanted his "Baby".
• He's warmed up to Dapper Dan now.
• Dapper Dan has buttons, snaps, Velcro, zippers, pockets and ties. He's also a boy doll.

Grumpy Mica

• Mica's been a grump.
• I think kids just get overwhelmed during holidays.
• At his age he wants help playing with all his new toys, we do, but we're also busy too.
• Plus he should be recouping from being sick! Instead we have lots of new toys and events to go to.

Train

• I built the boys a train track in the living room going around the Christmas tree.
• Isaak kept say, "Toot, toot"! He was all excited, and couldn't wait to play on the track with the trains. Both boys had trains on the track before I was finished building it.
• Mica gets irritated with Isaak wrecking his track and getting in his way. "It's just part of having a little brother" I told him. I felt the same way about Aunt Terra wrecking my Barbie Doll set up when I was younger.
• Mica got the Little Engine That Could in his stocking. It hooks up with Thomas, but is too tall to go under the tunnels. Santa read that in the review, but decided to buy it anyhow. We love that story at our house.

Cookie Monster Slippers

• Isaak's been wanting these cookie monster slippers put on then off, on, then off, then on again.
• Aunt Terra got him these.

Balls

• Isaak collects all his balls and throws them everywhere.
• He's obsessed with balls!

Eat

• Isaak looked over at Mica today during dinner, pointed and said, "Eat".
• He did it over and over again when Mica wasn't eating.
• It seems as though we have a new Food Nazi in our family.
• It's too bad it doesn't apply to Isaak himself. He still throws food sometimes and won't try certain foods.

Christmas Party Moved

• We're supposed to get together with Grandma Spiehs' - The Kent's side tomorrow.
• It's not happening with the snow drifting in front of people's driveways and doors. Not to mention all the side streets that haven't be plowed.
• It's been moved to Sunday. I was excited to see everyone. I guess I'll still be seeing everyone, just a day later.

Hit with Snow

• We got hit with snow pretty hard!
• While both boys were down for naps Daddy and I both went outside to shovel, shovel and shovel some more!
• We only shoveled one lane out.
• I wanted to get to the mailbox because I didn't get the mail yesterday. I got to it, and all there was, was 1 piece of junk mail. Boo! :( LOL
