Becky Salyer Seabaugh is...
This afternoon, we made it safely home from our annual post-Christmas Chicago vacation. Good times, good times. While we were gone, I didn't want to advertise that on the Internet (hello, robbers), so I kept track of all of the witty status updates that I would have posted on Facebook. If you don't use Facebook, all you do is put the words Becky Salyer Seabaugh in front of each of the following statements.
Sunday
...is in Menasha and already forgot something. (Isaiah's milk)
...thinks the Windy City is really windy tonight.
...came all the way to the Weber Grill restaurant in Chicago only to order a Wisconsin Burger.
...is blogging on paper because we can't connect to the Internet for free at our hotel. :(
...also forgot the Elmo Potty Seat and formula scoop at home. Sorry, kids! At least I remembered to pack you.
Monday
...forgot to stop the mail. (Thanks, Barb!)
...was followed to Chicago by Brett Favre. That guy just won't go away. (Bears and Vikes played at Soldier Field, if you don't follow football.)
...lOvEs that teachers get in free at the Shedd Aquarium.
...is enjoying the new Fantasea show featuring whales, dolphins, sea lions, penguins, and a red tailed hawk that didn't feel like flying to impress us today.
...'s husband is eating fish for lunch at the aquarium. Wonder where they picked up those filets to fry up...???
...is eating an Italian beef sandwich. YUM.
...is admiring the 2009 Christmas Tree at Macy's.
...shared the world's best mac-and-cheese from a place called Rock Bottom with Mallory. They also have the world's best customer service.
Tuesday
...is glad that we waited until today to visit the Hancock Observatory. Very clear sky today!
...is a little nervous about an elevator that goes up 94 floors in 40 seconds.
...is getting hungry. Time for another Italian beef sandwich.
...is too tired. We're skipping the Childrens' Museum. Maybe next year...
...is amazed how fast time flies. Time for another Italian beef sandwich? Why, yes, I do believe so.
...is glad to be back to the hotel early to hang out with the kiddos.
...finds it hilarious when Isaiah sits and looks out the 9th floor window saying, "Hi, Chicago! I love Chicago!" Me, too, little buddy.
Wednesday
...has that very sad, vacation is over today feeling. :(
...finds it interesting how things change with kids. It's only 9:40 and we're already on the road. Back in the day, we would have been just waking up.
...made it safely home to Appleton...after stopping at the Pizza Ranch in Fond Du Lac for lunch, of course. No Italian beef sandwich. :(
...is unpacked. :(
...was meant to live right smack in the middle of a big city. I miss you, Chicago...

Ten Month Pics
Our daughter is eleven months old now, but I couldn't not post ten month pictures just because I am running a little behind schedule!
Mallory wouldn't stay in the chair long this month. She likes to sit up and rock it across the floor.
Future ballerina?
My Smiley Girl :)
Such a serious face...
Sweet Little Miss, you're growing up too fast!

The Saddest Birthday Ever
Isaiah turned 3 years old on November 21st. The day started out great with breakfast at Perkins. We went for a walk with Tim's Outreach Committee, then decided to go to Fleet Farm. Isaiah was going to pick out a new toy truck for his birthday! Well, on the way, he lost his breakfast. Yuck!
Tim went shopping after lunch and found a really cool firetruck. The picture above shows his reaction to his present. We weren't offended since he was feeling so crummy.

Now What?
Isaiah has discovered how much fun it is to climb into the pack-in-play...
... and behind the couch.
But he hasn't quite figured out how to get himself out of these places yet.- becky

Kitchen Fun
The Johnson Family came over to watch the Packer game with us a week or so ago. It was lots of fun having them over - we discovered how much we like Nick and Willy's pizza, and Isaiah and Mallory could play with their friend from church and school, Kathleen.
Mallory really enjoys the play kitchen. Her note from school tells us at least twice a week that "Mallory enjoyed playing with the kitchen toys today." Enjoy the pictures. They're awfully cute!

NOT Much Better
Okay, so these pictures aren't that bad. My baby girl is so cute, that she even makes bad pictures look good. :) I can say that because I'm her mother.
So I mentioned in a previous post that I was not impressed with their school pictures. I was counting on those to work out, so the 9 month pictures on Mallory are a little, okay a lot, late. I can't believe she's already 10 months old. I'll have to get on the next round of pictures soon. At least I have her outift picked out already!
Getting big in her bouncy seat
Silly Girl Face
Watching Her Big Brother
Explaining something to me
Patty-cake!
It's hard to take a picture of these two together. I'm working on it, Mom! I know you need one of them together.
Uh oh. Sad Face
HAHA - Nice look, Mallory.

These Are MUCH Better
Isaiah and Mallory had their pictures taken at school a couple of weeks ago. They turned out terrible! We didn't bother wasting any money on them. Photo Studio by Mommy gets much better smiles out of the kids. Here are some pictures of Isaiah that I took while we were playing on the deck this morning.
My personal favorite...
OK - can I have two favorites?
Getting tired of saying Cheese
Let's play with Daddy's old trucks instead!

Happy Halloween!
How fun for Halloween to fall on a Saturday this year! The kids enjoyed Trunk or Treat at church this afternoon. It was really cold and windy, but we did our best to dress for the weather.
Isaiah was supposed to be a train engineer, but we couldn't find an engineer's hat. So train engineer or farmer - whichever works for us. Costumes are ridiculously expensive, so we went practical - overalls and a flannel shirt. He can wear those again! Mallory's duck costume was borrowed from my friend Lynette's little boy, James. She was definitely warm enough!
Isaiah and Mallory with our friend Kamryn - the cutest little chicken ever!After Trunk or Treat, we took a ride over the new College Ave bridge. It's finally open! Police had blocked off part of College Ave near the Paper Valley. Our best guess is that the Minnesota Brett Favre's arrived in town for the big game tomorrow. (The Packers opponent always stays at the Paper Valley in Appleton.)
Not to break tradition, Tim and I ate Arby's for lunch. Tim is such a good sport. I know it's a strange tradition from my childhood, but it's tradition, nonetheless!
It was so cold outside that I almost didn't want to take the kids out trick-or-treating. Isaiah kept saying, "Trick or treat!" as he was looking out the window, so we had to go to just a few houses. He did so well! It was so neat to hear him say, "Trick or treat!" and "Thank you!" when he got treats for Mommy and Daddy to enjoy.Happy Halloween!
