Flowers
I like flowers. A lot. I like growing flowers, but I especially like receiving flowers! And my sweet boys surprised me big time by bringing me a beautiful bouquet of flowers for Valentine's Day! Well, nothing lasts forever, and most of the flowers had died, so I weeded out the hardy ones today and put them in a smaller vase and they still look great!
The sad part about the original bouquet is they got it for me when I had my sinus infection and couldn't smell anything for days, so while they were most fragrant, I could only enjoy their visual beauty. My luck!
Thanks, Isaac and Daddy, for my beautiful flowers! I love you guys!

Soccer
I just signed Isaac up for a youth soccer league! The season starts April 18th and is for kids 4-5, so since that is just after his 4th birthday, he'll be old enough! I'm so excited for him, I think he's going to have a great time. Now we need to find him some shin guards and cleats.On the form, it asked if I was interested in coaching, I said no. Not that I'm opposed to coaching, but one of the big reasons to put Isaac in soccer is to get him out of the house and out of my hair for a few hours! Hooray for soccer coach babysitters! :) (Is it awful to think if it that way?)
So keep your Saturday mornings in April - June free so you can come watch some adorable kids soccer!

Spring Fever
We really need a sand box.
See that little red dot in my neighbor's sand box? Yup, that's Isaac. He spent almost an hour over playing with my neighbor's cute little boys. So much for nap time, but he had so much fun.
Emilie's other front tooth came through yesterday and she had an AWFUL night, poor girl. I hope the worst has passed and we can all get some sleep this weekend. MOMMY IS CRANKY WITHOUT ENOUGH SLEEP.

Growing Pains
I'm having a hard time uploading pics right now, so a few entries that I had started (which were dependent in the accompanying photos) will have to wait until I can get the kinks worked out. If only I could find a reliable computer guy...
Anyway, not too much going on around here these days except for Emilie's teething. She is normally such a happy and contented little girl, but if she's teething, WATCH OUT! She hasn't been sleeping as well, or eating well, or nursing well, and it's been going on a few days now. I don't know if it's the tooth that has broken through the surface already or if it's the neighbor wanting to join the party, but either way, I just hope that she can find some relief already.
Seeing what an incredibly short temper she has these days at the very hint of things not going her way makes me wonder what things are going to be like as she gets older. Is she going to be a spoiled Prima Dona demanding everything to be just so, or will she eventually learn to just roll with the punches? Because right now, you just don't cross her. If she somehow manages to get a hold of a cell phone or remote control? Don't even think of reclaiming it. If her rubber ducky dares to swim away from her in the bath tub? It might as well get on the next flight to Alaska. And if you have the audacity to wipe her nose? Well, let's just say, it's not pretty. Or quiet. And yes, the ensuing crying only causes more snot which just compounds the situation exponentially.
The sooner my little girl is feeling better, the sooner we'll all be feeling better. I just she will allow me a little more sleep tonight!

Isaac + Scissors =
The other day, I was brainstorming some ideas of things to do with Isaac to keep him busy and entertained on these long, cold, wintry days and I had one of my more brilliant ideas yet - I should teach Isaac how to use scissors! So, being the good mom that I am, I shopped the art supply isle while out shopping and found, what I considered, to be the safest kids scissors available.
Well, fast forward a few days. Jarom found Isaac downstairs on his own chopping apart some of his artwork. He must have found out where I had been hiding the scissors. Upon further inspection, Jarom discovered he had done more than just cut apart some watercolors. He then marched Isaac upstairs to show mommy the damage:
So now I'm in a quandary. Do I just let it grow out? Or do I give my son a short buzz cut to even out the length in the dead of winter?
Needless to say, we've talked quite a bit about what is and is not appropriate to cut with scissors. Think this lesson will last?

#3
Yesterday after Emilie's afternoon nap, I checked her gums again - that poor little mouth is so swollen right now with teeth! - and sure enough, her first top tooth had finally made it's way through! I think it's neighbor will be making it's appearance any day now.
Tooth count: 3
