Some Paperwork is Finished!

• I'm feeling a little better. I got Mica's second preschool forms filled out. I never would of thought that they'd need so much information on my child and us as parents!
• Then I've had a 2 page survey to fill out on Isaak's orthopedic doctor appointment. Earlier today I had a phone call survey about the emergency room visit. A lot of busy work!

Gretna, Nebraska

• I was talking about how I've never been to my friend Debbie's house in Gretna, Nebraska.
• Mica said, "Well...we can go there, and to the pumpkin patch since it's right there too".
• I thought it was pretty funny that he remembers that the pumpkin patch is in Gretna, Nebraska. We hardly go, or talk about Gretna.
• Then Mica went on to say, "Daddy just don't wear that scary witch's mask like you did last time you went to the pumpkin patch"!
• How does this four year old remember these things that happened in the fall?
• I guess I remember things too. It's called a selective memory. I remember having a strawberry patch in our backyard, and my mom had completely forgotten about it. I remember how I broke my collar bone, when my Dad had forgotten how. I was only four years old when these things happened too.
• Funny how I can remember things well, but would fail just about every standardized test in school. I had to be in all the chapter one classes. I sure hope that Mica's not going to be like I was with that!

Mom 4 Life

• I got an email from Mom 4 Life telling me that my order was going to be late because they didn't get their pre-orders in on time.
• These are the fun socks I ordered for Isaak.
• They said I could pick out another free pair of BabyLegs for the inconvenience.
• You know places are a good companies when they do stuff like this.
• I picked the Classic Brown Ribbed ones. They can work for a boy or girl baby gift.

Learning to Get Along

• Go Graham Go is giving away a whole series of books about getting along by Free Spirit.
• This series is good for Mica's age. The books range from the ages 4 to 8 years.

Home for Lunch

• I only live about 7 minutes away from my work. Sometimes it's nice to just stay at work, socialize and get stuff done.
• Daddy called me this morning, and seemed a little annoyed with the boys, Isaak in particular. I decided to head for home.
• It is nice because when I go home, I do get a lot done.
• Today I spent some time holding Isaak and read to Mica and cousin Evan. I ate. Then I took care of the many dishes in the kitchen, and ran my new dishwasher. The table and counters were a mess, so I cleaned them off as well (the best I could).
• I asked Daddy to open the blinds to let some light in. Isaak kept saying, "Ninow", which is window. He wanted to bask in the sunlight. This brought back a memory from when I was little. I hazily remember laying on my dog's belly in the sunlight. It was so nice and warm. The only sucky part was when my dog wanted to get up. Clunk went my little head on the floor. My parents had to give up our 2 dogs when I wasn't even 5 years old because of my stupid allergies.

Sick

• We all have colds now. I'm feeling it in my my head, Daddy is sore, Isaak is snotty and Mica has it the worst! He has a fever and nasty cough.
• Mica hasn't been too into eating, actually took a nap yesterday and didn't run around like normal.
• Mica said at nap time, "Grandma, I have my girlfriend and blanket that's all I need". He sleeps with one of our old Cabbage Patch Kids and that is his girlfriend.

Toddler Tools Series Books

• Free Spirit is a publishing company that has books for children of all ages.
• Go Graham Go is giving away a set of well mannered books.
• I'd like to get Feet are Not for Kicking for Isaak. He likes to kick when his diaper is being changed.

Melmo

• Isaak's newest word is: "Melmo", which is Elmo. I guess I've heard him say it before, but it really stood out tonight when I got out his "Melmo" chair. He pointed to his chair and said, "Melmo! La la la la." If you didn't know, Elmo sings, "La la la la".
• He also say's table, Chap Stick, robot and a mess more. He's talking too fast to blog all his words.

3 Generations of Messed Up Feet

• Blurry Isaak, but there we are. The two legs up on Grandma Spiehs' scooter are mine and her's. Her boot goes up a lot higher then mine. It's all our left foot.

• My leg on the left and Grandma Spiehs' on the right. Our pants are pulled up to where our boot's stop. Grandma's goes up to her armpits I think LOL, just kidding. Her's does go up high though. Mine stops above my ankle.

• Isaak's "Magic Shoes"- He's been asking to take them off. The shoe laces come untied a lot. Oh...and I can't forget, the bottoms are a bit slippery on our wood floors.
• You can't tell in any photo's, but the shoes always look like they are on the wrong feet. The left one points to the right, and the right one points to the left.
