Mother's Day & Today

Happy Belated Mother's Day to all those Mother's out there reading our blog.

In the morning, Daddy & Isabel made me breakfast of cinnamon rolls, scrambled eggs, & fruit. She helped him out. They made me a card; Isabel used every color marker she has. Daddy did the dishes and swept the kicthen as well. Then we went to Concord Zoo. Isbel was a little afraid of the sheep when they were "baaaa" ing. So, we spent quite a bit of time playing in the playhouses. We did feed the animals. Her favorite to feed was the ducks.

After naptime we hung out for a bit and went to dinner at Stolley's Hogg Alley. Daddy wasn't so sure about my choice to go to a biker bar for dinner on Mother's Day. We had a HD theme going on this whole weekend, I guess. We had really good burgers and they make hoemade fries (which I prefer) and homemade soups (Isabel had Chicken Dumpling.) And the dinig area is smoke-free and pretty separated from the bar. We are going to try it out for breakfast some weekend because they have awesome breakfast prices.




We have the dog house out again so that Molly can see it and get used to it, as she'll be living in it shortly when she goes to her summer home at the farm. Although, Isabel keeps trying to play in it, thinking it is a house for her.











For the next few days we are babysitting Isabel's friend Rachael. We went to play at another friend's house today and Isabel thought it would be fun to sit in a wagon and Rachael thought it would be fun to pull her around. They play so well together. They both have the same nap schedule (which they are sue to get up from here soon) and went down nicely after we read several stories. We also made a Curious George craft this morning. This afternoon we'll probably do some coloring and play outside some more.

I let Isabel pick out her pants today and she picked out a pair that fit last week and now are too short. She insisted on wearing them and I was not going to fight it. I gave her the choice and she picked something out. Why get her angry because I didn't know she grew. Next week we'll get the 2 year measurements and we'l see if she has hit the 3 foot mark....she's so close.
