a little girl in isaac’s preschool class had a birthday party at chuckie cheese’s after school yesterday. so, on monday, we picked out the perfect gift, wrapped it and geared up for the big adventure. i guess isaac has seen some commercials for chuckie cheese, because he knew all about the big mouse and wasn’t […]

i picked up this sweet melissa and doug alphabet train floor puzzle at a consignment sale for $3 for isaac, who loves trains, puzzles and letters.
