It's already been a busy weekend for us, and it's only half over!
Last night, Isaiah stayed home with Tim, and I went to dinner with some friends at El Azteca. We had tons of fun! Ordering my dinner turned out to be somewhat frustrating/comical. Being pregnant, I'm a little picky. I was so in the mood for a beef burrito and a beef and cheese quesadilla. How difficult does that sound? Apparently, it's pretty tough to get tortilla shell, cheese, and ground beef - that's it! No vegetables? Right, no vegetables. The food comes out, and what's in my quesadilla? Mushrooms. I hate mushrooms. Back to the kitchen it goes. About 10 minutes later (seriously, it took a long time - poor Krista had been waiting for her meal to even come out once), they brought back the SAME one! I am not kidding. I opened it up, and it was cold and filled with mushrooms. Let's try this again - tortilla shell, cheese, and ground beef - that's it! No mushrooms? Right, no mushrooms. I waited another 5 minutes or so, and out comes a different waiter with my plate. He put it down in front of me and said, "There you go. Mushrooms and cheese."
Grrrrr!!!! I don't want mushrooms!!! He laughed, and said, "I'm only teasing you!" He sure is lucky I was in a good mood. At that point, I laughed and all was forgotten After all, it tasted delicious! I LOVE the food at El Azteca.
This morning I met Jen at the pool at Gold's for water aerobics. It was fantastic! I am so glad that we renewed our membership. The pool felt great, and it was a really good full body work out. We can't wait to go back again. I'm going to try for Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday classes this week.
Before I left for the gym, I made breakfast. When Tim was clipping coupons last week, he found a recipe for Cheese and Sausage Potato Pancakes. YUM!!! (Isaiah and I just shared a leftover pancake for a nighttime snack.)
Isaiah even tried to use his fork! With our help, he's been getting better with yogurt and a spoon. We guide his hand and let go close to his mouth and he puts it in himself. It's a start, right? As you can see in the picture, he's got the wrong end in his mouth. Oh, well - at least he put the end he was stabbing into his pancakes in. That should count for something.
I've been recording home movies from our camcorder to a dvd tonight. Isaiah has really enjoyed seeing baby Isaiah on the tv. I ask him who the baby is, and he says, "Isaiah!" The movies have me so excited to have another little baby in the house! Isaiah brings us so many smiles, and pretty soon we'll have another special little person to love. I think I look forward to watching Isaiah and the baby together the most. We really are blessed.
Tomorrow is a craft day at church. I'll be teaching how to make a paper bag album at my station. Hopefully we have lots of people attend. It's going to be tons of fun!
We'll be found in the front pew tomorrow. Isaiah likes to watch his dad during church - it really helps his behavior there!
Night, night.
- becky
P.S. I noticed lots of trees with their leaves beginning to change this morning!
I can't believe how grown up Isaiah is looking. sigh...
Mallory discovered hamburgers (in the form of a White Castle) on our last trip to Minnesota.
Yummy! She now insists on ordering a hamburger whenever we eat out and says, "It's just like a White Castle!" What's up with one sleeve on and one sleeve off...???
