Baby Recycle Playdate

Isaac and I went to a recycle baby shower for Melissa, AJ, Sebastian and Baby #3 who's due in June. They moved to Fargo last summer and we miss them in our playgroup. It's good to have other little boys for Isaac to play with. Isaac loved playing with his friends and of course enjoyed all the goodies. Our friend Erinn always has the best parties at her house.

After the shower we stopped by Donavan's office and Isaac had more treats from his best buddy at SJS Miss Tina--who spoils him rotten:). I didn't know you could buy donut holes with jelly inside. Are you kidding me???? They are Isaac's new favorite treat. I gave up sweets for Lent, but couldn't convince Isaac to do the same.

After our trip to the doctor this morning we learned Isaac's ears are free of infection. We are so excited. I hope they can stay clear until spring. He has this nagging cough which is caused by post nasal drip.

Now, we're going to do some painting on the easel. Isaac found the crayola paints Gigi gave him for Christmas and he's going to work on a master piece.

Sandy Creek Nature Center Playdate

We went to the Sandy Creek Nature Center earlier this week. We met up with Melissa (Ella and Nora) and Erinn (Jade and Max). We had not been in ages and Isaac was really excited about the snakes and turtles. After about an hour and a quarter I could tell it was time to move on. Isaac kept running into the lobby to play with the drinking fountain. Anyway, we were saying goodbye and I noticed Isaac at the end of the hallway playing with a little red box on the wall. I immediately yelled "don't touch" but was too late the fire alarm started going off. Isaac had the look of death in his eyes as he ran into my arms.

As we were driving home I started analyzing why a child friendly place would have that alarm so low to the ground. Perhaps for handicapped persons? I know from my expieriences in college as a resident assistant there are plastic boxes that can go on top of alarms to provide cover. Anyway, I'm just coming up with excuses. I do believe Isaac was frightened enough not to ever play with one again.

At one point during our playdate I turned around and snapped this photo. It seems so innocent, at this age...and appears to be the only photo I took.

Halloween Cookie Playdate

We held a small play date at our place this week. This kids decorated Halloween cookie and Isaac worked on sharing his toys with his friends.
