one item on our bucket list was coloring rice. not because isaac wanted to, but because i had seen it in internetland and decided i wanted to try it. once we got started though, isaac was all in and just as happy as if he had come up with the idea himself… shaking the bags […]
isaac
indoor tree house.
we have been trying to settle on what to do with the dormer window in isaac’s room ever since we knew we were having him. for the first year or so, it was home to his glider rocker. it’s had a tent squeezed in occasionally. but, we were looking for something with more “wow”. well, […]
homemade popsicles.
knocked off another summer bucket list item, by pouring orange juice and lemonade into popsicle containers, waiting, and then consuming…
our new favorite pool
this summer, i researched joining a bunch of different pools, before deciding that the cost to go to tanglewood park’s pool was only $7 per trip and we’d have to go a lot of times to justify paying $400 or more to join any of the “private” area pools. plus, we finally paid the yearly […]
homemade play doh
yesterday, we accomplished summer to-do list item number 1: make play doh. i think isaac was more excited to “x” it off the chalkboard than he was to actually make the play doh. but, he went along with it for my sake… we located a recipe on the internetz and got to work. lemonade for […]
summer checklist
once again, i ran across a cool idea on pinterest and couldn’t rest until i had implemented it in my own home: the summer bucket list. i saw a few, from simple poster boards, to colorul picture frames backed with scrapbook paper, to my favorite: a giant chalkboard. unfortunately, we don’t (didn’t) own a chalkboard…. […]
comin’ ’round the mountain…
derek’s parents have a time share in blowing rock nc. last week was their week. we are bored and tired of the same old same old. so on tuesday, we visited. i got us all packed up and when the two lid kids awakened from their beauty sleep, we hit the road. the trip up […]
dixon wedding
as previously discussed, isaac was a ring bearer in a recent wedding of two friends. these two friends, to be exact: on top of providing the ring bearing cuteness, i also brought half of the wedding cupcakery. my friend regi (she’s awesome) provided a cake and the other half of the cupcakes. unfortunately, i didn’t […]
the ring bearer
isaac was a ring bearer last night in the wedding of my friends and fellow youth group leaders, adam and leah. leah also did a bit of babysitting for isaac in my tutoring days, so she’s one of his favorite people on the planet. anyhow, i captured approximately one good shot of the cute boy […]
mini water park.
while in ny recently (which i haven’t posted about or even mentioned), new gramma bought theannababy a first birthday present. the problem is… anna has all of ike’s old toys, plus some of her own, plus limited access to all of isaac’s current toys (which is what she enjoys the most)… so what do you […]
