Elijah's Birthday Party

• Our nephew's Evan and Elijah are only a few months older in age to our kid's.
• Elijah turns 2 this Wednesday. We celebrated his party tonight.
• We got him a bucket of safari animals from Animal Planet and the kid's CD from Juice Box Hero's called No Sugar Added. My younger sister Terra is the one in the photo with Elijah.
  Ready for cake!

Old Man Eric

• Here's my Brother-in-Law caught sleeping at my nephew's birthday party.
• It always seems to be a male that is caught sleeping in my family.
• He looks like someone that you wouldn't want to mess with in fear that he'd kick your butt.
• I assure you that he has a very kind soul under that bad ass exterior.
• Uncle Eric is a firefighter, so he spends time saving people's lives.

Cleaning

• A day of cleaning.
• Since I was in a special shoe that was hard taking off and on the floor has been getting extra dirty.
• The boy's helped sort of. Mica held the dust pan for me, while Isaak tried to sweep up the pile of dirt with his play broom, or just steps/sits in the pile of dirt. It's the thought that counts, right?
• Mica told me that Isaak would help me vacuum. That was until I told Mica that we could vacuum up our hair like we did last time. They love playing with the vacuum. That's the only way I can get them to help.
• Mica is really focused. He sticks his tongue out while he vacuums up the dirt.

Taste of Sun

• On Thursday it was so nice to spend one on one time with Isaak.
• We loved how it was nice and sunny!
• My family was teasing us that we need to cut Isaak's hair. We want it longer. Aunt Terra puts it in hair clip on the top of his head. Is it not ok to have longer hair for a boy? Am I missing something. I've seen kids with longer hair. It just has to get past the awkward stage of being in the middle of short and long.
• He doesn't get messy with food that often, and his hair is super thin. Mica's hair is thick, so we keep it fairly short.
• I don't like that boy's all seem to have the same cut, short boy hair cut.
• We want Isaak's hair to eventually look like this:

• I admit that I do need to start using the Le Baby Hair Gel I have. If I just wet my fingers, apply a dab of gel, his hair stays out of his eyes pretty good.

Hop On Board the Potty Train!

• Potty Train is one of the last books I got from Scholastic's.
• I got it for Isaak, but Mica tries to steel it by putting it on his book shelf.
• It's all about hoping on board the potty train and going poo poo, instead of toot toot.
• I had never heard of the book, but thought it might be interesting to Isaak since both boys like trains. Sure enough it seems to be a hit.

Happy Birthday

• Isaak was singing, Happy Birthday to "Melmo" Elmo in the car.
• I so wish I could of captured it on video.
• It was so cute!

Feeling a Little Nutty?

• On our trip to MO. the boys got a special treat. Something they've never had.
• They got their first taste of Nutty Bars. I know that they aren't healthy. I just gave them something fun for the trip.
• They both LOVE them! We had extra's, and I gave them one this morning for a snack.
