Mom Week

So, this week the boys and I have had LOTS of time together. We've done lots of fun things together to pass the time. We went to Build-A-Bear Workshop for Mikey's birthday, used our free passes for the new Aquarium, read in the hammock on my deck during a thunder and lightning storm, spent 4 hours in the new Museum of Natural Curiosity, played at Neptune Park and planned Mikey's birthday party, went to their school's open house, went school shopping and today we bought Isaac a new suit for his Baptism in 2 weeks. (He looks so sharp in it. I'm going to have to take some pictures before the big day). It's been a fun and exhausting week! A genuine "Mom Week." I know I will miss these days. 90% of the time these two have been best friends and gotten along so well. The other 10%? Well, you can guess. It has been fun to refill my "Mom" bucket after having been gone for so long. But I think I might be ready for my time alone next week. ;)

Lightning storm.

That is not how much he weighs, although it's close. This is the "Sloth Hang" at the Museum of Natural Curiosity. You see how long you can hang like a sloth. Isaac made it 36 seconds.

Mikey's birthday present: Magnaformers. He loves to build with them. He grabbed my phone for a second, handed it back and said "I just took like 15 pictures of this so you can remember it." (All 15 were exactly the same P.S.). To which Isaac added, "Now can you pin it on Pinterest?" I'm seeing some flaws in my Motherhood. ;)
