Eli sees me sewing tutus each day..

he LOVES money...

so, he's decided to make a caterpillar out of clay

and would like to put it up for sale for $2.00.

(grandmas...start sending money)

He told me that once this one sells...he'll make more characters.

Here are the boys outside yesterday...

oh...so cute..

I will get you Eli...

and I will get that ear...

come back here!

Here's poor Isaac at the end of our outing in the backyard....

big cheese ball!

Can you do this??

Who's the cutest baby??

Poor little Eli.

He's wanted a garden FOREVER..

and well...we only have rocks.

SO, he planted some pumpkin seeds...

we'll see if they germinate.

I have SO much to share.

How about this conversation yesterday with the boys:

Me: "Eli...didn't I ask you to help clean your bathroom?"

Eli: "I don't recall"

Chris: "mom...where did he learn that word?"

Eli: "I don't recall"

Chris:"Eli...where did you learn that big vocabulary word?"

Eli:"I don't recall"

So...Chris thinks that "recall" is a BIG word.

oh boy!

THEN...here's another Chris conversation:

Me: "I'm going to stop buying sodas"

Chris:"why...what are we suppose to drink then?"

Me:"water"

Chris:"why water"

Me:"soda has too much fat in it"

Chris:"so does water"

Me:"it does not"

Chris:"yes it does. When you're pregnant...your belly is full of water. Then, your water breaks and you lose all that weight. See...

What can you say to that? seriously? I think my child is being left behind in school.

and here's a video of my defiant Isaac:

(mom...prepare yourself...I pop his hand)

Isaac started off his day with his dork glasses on...

and his leg braces were on.

THEN, I noticed this:

one missing leg brace.

(now...how in the world did he wiggle out of that?)

I know that he appears slightly intoxicated in this pic...

and look at that messy shirt.

He isn't eating by mouth very well lately...

all the food just falls out the side of his mouth

(but...I'm still trying each day)

And...Isaac has MAD skills.

look...no hands!

STILL watching television on the poop tv..

but, Isaac loves it!

(the towel covers the wood that he's STILL trying to eat)...

and he can watch tv, eat the duck, and play with the

ball with his feet!

He'll totally be able to put "multi-tasker" on his resume!

and this afternoon...

the weather was heavenly..

I'll share those pics tomorrow...

but, here's a sneak peak!

Our day actually started last night..

I took Chris and his friend to Play N Trade to pick up the new Halo game..that they HAD to have! So, this morning, those guys decided to wake up at 5am and meet up online to play their new game together. (so sweet). Then, it was time to rush him to get ready for seminary...and I started Isaac's feeds...and went back to bed.

Eli and I headed out to school and then Isaac and I made a quick run to Walgreens to grab some deals.

I spent the remainder of the day procrastinating on sewing. I've sewn at least 100 tutus this week...oh, my back can hardly stand it~

(because each one takes about an hour)

We made an appointment for Isaac to see the eye doc next week...and an appointment for a dermatology visit (about the never ending rashes).

Tomorrow, we're headed to Old Navy (you know that their clearance racks are an ADDITIONAL 50% off--did you know that?) yep...until Friday.

Do I NEED any clothes? Nope...but, shopping is better than eating...so, I'll go spend a little and save some calories.

(that's my thought anyway)

darn it...i'd better quit yapping and take my lazy bum up to the sewing room.

so many good shows are on now..my dvr is almost full!

Isaac has a NEW TRICK!!

just showing you a little tongue..

getting my dance on...

what?

Yep...Isaac looks like he's going to stand up one day!!! I put his leg braces on today...but, when he was eating in his bouncy seat...he started screaming because he couldn't lift those heavy legs to bounce that seat!

I know...you're wondering where I've been...

right??

Well...we've been sewing tutus like CRAZY here for the

Greek Festival.

Today was the last day...

and I couldn't be happier!!

Eli had a BLAST visiting the festival each day.

His most cherished possession is this:

(army tattoo)

While Mandy (my sister), worked the booth at the festival...

Meghan spent the days with us.

and...would you like an Isaac update??

He's as happy as ever...

looking so darn handsome...

and just melting my heart!

If you can believe it...we don't have ANY appointments this week! BUT, next week we see the cardiologist:( I'm starting my prayers early for that one...because, this is the check up to see how much his valve is leaking and if it looks like we'll need surgery this year.

We, as a household, seem to be getting rid of all the sickies! (Joe's still got a cough...but, all the kids are good).

Isaac has orders to start wearing his leg braces all day now! AND...his fancy glasses are broke again...so, that means we'll be wearing leg braces and our dork glasses. Poor Isaac. (it's a good thing we don't have to be out in public too much this week).

I can't even remember what's been going on...

just busy, busy, busy as usual.

and I am SO thankful for Isaac's good health lately.

If you have time...you could go over and leave a message for Moriah...she's not doing very well.

I WILL eat my hands...

I will NOT eat cookies or crackers...

I will eat my paci...

I will NOT eat your chicken and pasta...

but...I'll smile for you...

yep...that about sums up my stinkers.

and Chris...the phantom teenager...lurks in his stinky room...he will come out someday!

I am BUSY making tutus! Yeah for me. Tis the season for Halloween costumes...AND...I'm selling them at a festival this weekend. (cross your fingers for me...let us all see GREEN!)

it's WAY too late...I need to try and nap before I have to wake up with Chris...

What a weekend. Joe has the yuckies that we've been battling for weeks (ha ha ha)...I mean...poor Joe.

I got up this morning and took the boys to church. YEP...all of them....feeding pump and all. YEAH for me!

I can't even remember what we did this weekend. Usually nothing but naps for Isaac and me. He's doing really good. Still snotty...but, really?

We're going to check out a new pt tomorrow (just one out in the community...we still have our sweet Nora).

My mind is just drawing blanks. We're just doing what we're doing....Hoping that Joe gets over the sickies soon.

You know that Isaac's 2 1/2 now. He's growing and doing new things each day.

He claps his hands now!!! (thank you Kelly for posting that video of Aubrey and getting him excited).

He really is aware of things that I tell him. He might not answer me, or follow directions...but, I think his light bulb has clicked...and he understands some things. (some)

When I catch him eating shoes...and yell his name. He throws the shoe quickly...as if to hide the evidence! (this is SO huge!)

When I clean up his playroom...he immediately crawls back in there and takes everything off the shelf to put it back on the floor where he likes it.

He crawls ALL over the house. He hasn't found the doggy door yet...but, I can't wait for that pic!

SO...here's a video of Isaac on his zebra. He can FINALLY sit on it without falling off...

I mean...ahhh...he can sit on it...and if he falls off, he doesn't cry.

(no toddler was harmed in the making of this movie)
