In January?

Really, I never thought my windows would be open at the end of January in Wisconsin!!! It is such an awesome day outside. It is in the mid 50's and if my neighbor is correct we could break a record if we hit 58 degrees! Whoa!

We spent an hour and a half outside this morning! We took our first walk of the year and it was SO nice! I am really ready for spring and spending our days outside. I realize that this day is just a treat, but it might just hold me over until we truly get spring.

Isaiah and I painted the snow while Brielle was still napping.




Yesterday was a pretty nice day too, so while Dad was making dinner we went sledding around the house.

Isaiah's Sweet Dance Moves

Dance, Dance, Dance

All I wanna do is Dance, Dance, Dance!

Our Favorites

Isaiah and Brielle have recently found some favorite activities.

Brielle plays peek-a-boo with her hands over her eyes ALL of the time, but especially while getting her diaper changed. She thinks it is so funny when we ask, "Where is Brielle?".

Another favorite game is covering her head with anything she can find, usually a shirt that she has pulled out of some drawer. Both her and Isaiah enjoy this game which usually results in someone walking into a wall. They seem to think it's funny.

As of today, she has found Daddy's winter hat, puts it on and walks around with it.

She has also become quite a little dancer. She has some really good moves. I hope to catch her on video sometime soon, so I can share it with you.

She still likes to do her own thing and is a really good sport when the toys that she is playing with are taken from her. She is learning to fight back and it's only a matter of time before Isaiah gets what he has coming to him! We are working on sharing and it's a slow learning process, but hopefully one day it will just "happen." (I know....good luck with that huh?!)

Isaiah has some really funny one-liners. His favorites are, "No way, Really?" and "That's a great idea!"

He has really started to love playing games. I have learned that I really am a serious game player and I do not like to play with distracted players! I have also learned that it takes a whole lot of patience to teach and play and play again each game. But it is really fun being able to play game with him. I look forward to many family game nights!

Dull Moments?

To say that our house is dull would not be accurate. There are always some kind of shenanigans going on. This morning was no different. Everyone woke up, way too early, and we watched Super Why which is a staple in our house. We proceeded to breakfast like normal. Cheerios, milk and a pear.

Now I should preface this post by saying that if you are eating it would be wise to stop reading. If you have a weak stomach, also stop reading.

We knew Brielle wasn't feeling up to par, but when she wouldn't eat her pear I knew it wasn't good. So I cleaned her up, picked her up when she immediately started crying. Daddy came to the rescue, "You need your Daddy don't you". He took 2 steps and she exploded her breakfast onto him and the floor. He ran to the bathroom where he stood in the shower and said, "are you coming to help or what?" "Really, you need help?" And then I realized that he did indeed need help. First I laughed, then I asked if I could go and get the camera, then I felt proud as Daddy himself was holding it together.

Dull? Never! And it's only 8:30 am.
