Fun Sunday.... I'm just hanging out with the kids... I read the paper, checked FB, got snacks for Ike and Celeste
Now I'm dreaming of the fun we're going to have this summer. I can't wait for this spring. We planted quite a few bulbs last fall, so I can't wait to see them come up. Brian filled my birdfeeders and my birdbath for me! Thanks, sweetie!
This week I've got to get lots ready for the Talent Show. Balloons, flowers (why not fake this year?), certificates, the script for Evan, etc.
We've got some great ideas for Camp Read-A-Lot in April. How about this.... S'mores are like books..... the good stuff is inside! Campfires (pretend)... each class makes a poster (with my flier and paper)
That's all for now...

These are from the Pumpkin party on Saturday. We had a great time. The kids had fun and it wasn't rainy or too cold. Hot dogs and veggie soup for everyone. Hot cider to drink. Kids trick or treated around yard (peanut-free, of course). Kids decorated mini-pumpkins.

Celeste is growing and changing everyday. She started cooing this week. So cute. She's different than Isaac but a lot the same. She's a little rounder looking than he was. I also don't recall him smiling or cooing this soon at 4 1/2 weeks. She is a good little sleeper. I realized that if I just let her fuss a little in the night, she goes back to sleep. So last night and the night before she only got up 1 or 2 times. I feel a lot better when I get enough sleep, so this has been bery good. She is a sweetie! She has that little girl squeal when she cries. It sounds almost like whining. Isaac never did that.
Now Isaac, on the other hand, has had a very hard time adjusting. He needs a lot of undivided attention which, at times, is hard to give. Especially when Brian first comes home from work. Isaac will not let Brian and I talk for any amount of time without getting right in the middle of things. It's o.k., I guess. He stayed in his own bed last night... yes! He's been coming in every night when the baby wakes him up.
I'm thinking about when I go back to work in a couple of weeks. I'm sure the transition will be very hard. Celeste is a good baby, but she really likes to be held. Hopefully, she can get that kind of attention at day care. I've loved dressing her up like a little girl. She's got several cute bows we've been putting in her hair-- (her hair is still very dark). Her eyebrows and hairline are both red, so it'll be neat to see how she turns out.
I forgot how much infants sleep! I've really enjoyed the down time. This week we have been going on more walks. I've tried to stop eating so much. I'm still at around 160, so I've got to drop some weight. I go to my 6 week Dr. appt. this Friday. Hopefully she will release me to exercise again. I've also stopped eating so much food that is bad for me. I'm not buying anymore cookies, chips, ice cream, etc. I bet this will help.
I'll post an update on Celeste again soon!

Big brother to be!!!!!

Expecting!

Yes, Brian and I are going to have a new little one, due Sept. 12. We are excited! I've been working this week with Isaac to potty train him-- he's doing pretty well. One incentive is the "big boy" bed and the new bedroom when he is completely trained. I'm thinking we'll be finished by this summer but maybe sooner. Issac helped me pick out some decals for the walls on his new room.

I'm 15 weeks on Friday. I can't wait for summer and the pool with Isaac. I'm sure this summer will be a great one for the 2 of us. I'm looking forward to lazy days.

We went to the Doodlebops concert on Friday and it was tons of fun. Isaac was mesmorized. The Doodlebops are way too silly, but he liked it. He got some "Mo" hair. "Where's Mo?" "Don't pull the rope!"

We took Isaac to see Santa on Friday and used our gift certificate to Pastabilities for dinner. He told S. he wanted a truck. That was all he wanted. Just a truck. I save my Christmas cards every year for him to look at (in a drawer in the kitchen). He found some with baby Jesus on them in a manger or a stable, according to him. He wanted to know about the 3 kings and the gifts for Jesus so I explained that to him. Here's some other fun stuff he's been doing lately. He remembers things for hours. Like yesterday when Brian was gone in the afternoon for a few hours, as soon as he came home, Isaac told him that I hid a dinosaur in daddy's closet to scare him. He told me as soon as I came home from shopping in the morning about something Brian said they talked about a long while before. Brian got a gag gift at work of self-adhesive stylish mustaches. Isaac said he was like paw-paw Buske. It was silly.
