You should know better than that....

Seth was pulling at a toy Isaac was playing with. It's good for Isaac to share but Seth cant have everything he wants. As I was pulling screaming Seth away, Isaac pipes up, "Seth had it first." So I interject, "Isaac why did you take it away from Seth?" The question that is meant to be a lesson, you know, the you-should-know-better-than-that question. But Isaac took my question literally and said, "Because I like it. It's cool." ".....oh."

Why would I ask such an accusatory question. I should know better than that.

ICE! ICE! Baby!

That is what kept going on in my brain when we went to visit the ICE! exhibition. Not the music but the words. It was a agreat family date, though a little expensive. Ice sculptures were everywhere, hence the "ICE! ICE!" And we all looked the same in our blue parkas once we got inside. Exactly the same. I tied a scarf around Seth, but Isaac was one of the masses , and I thought I'd lost my precicous "Baby!" once but he ended up being right behind me. Whew.

Before picture...

After picture...we sorta look like big puffy smurfs.

Isaac LOVES his new gloves. Kept him warm. Than ks Grandma & Grandpa.

The ice slides were cool (pun intended). It was our favorite and Isaac went about 8 times. (I think usually you go down once.)

Eric flew down the slide. He had fun too.

If you go, might I recommend you use scarfs to help distinguish one another. Seth and Santa. The coat was too big and Seth couldn't walk. Yea for Eric's muscles.

Let the royal rumpus start!

We left 2009 with smiles on our faces (see Isaac's picture). Isaac and I are agreed that a festivity without hats is not a party. So we went to Target in search of our head toppers. But alas, Target had no new years hats. Are you kidding me? No hats. So we made our own and I think they were 500 X better than any we could buy at Target. I'm thinking this may be a new tradition.

Unfortunately the coolest hat, Eric's, is not pictured. Eric was the designer of Seth's hat, but really the masterpiece was his own. It was Napolean'esc with red spikes running down the spine. Drats. Hats off to Eric!

Eric won my heart by buying a disco ball. I can't dance, but I can fake if if there is disco light. And we had poppers, those things are just cool. This was my favorite new years eve party to date.

"Tur-duhl" might be our favorite Seth word.

I wore the most un-cool hat of the evening.
Isaac really was all smiles. I am including this picture because it is makes me laugh.
