Code Brown

This morning I thought Isaac was "sleeping in" and so I got up and took my time, actually got a shower and then finally heard Isaac stirring.  So I went in to get him and immediately smelled poop.  I thought that maybe it was just a poopy diaper...well it was and so much more!  As I got closer I saw that my little artist Isaac decided to do some painting...

...no wonder he was so quiet!

Random

Sometimes I have random funny thoughts throughout the day...so i'm going to start sharing them.  

Todays random thought:   I love the word BLOG.  that's it...just thought i'd share.  :)

ps. the word I hate the MOST and gets under my skin when people use it is:  BEHOOVE.  I think it's because I feel like people think they are better than you when they use the word.  ugh...i hate this word! 

Now I'm curious what word do you strongly dislike?

Connie

Meet Connie...

I figure I always have a story to tell about sweet Connie so you need to know her.  She is a 50 something year old neighbor of ours who has some sort of developmental delay thus making her a little socially awkward.  (yes i am trying to be PC)  

History with Connie:

-The first week in our house we didn't have curtains in our upstairs hall window...we would walk "freely" from our bathroom into our bedroom until Connie told us that "we really needed to get curtains."  LOL...a little embarrassing but not really since it's Connie.  

-Everytime a branch or tree falls in our yard or house...a note is found on our front door from Connie stating that a branch or tree fell (like we wouldn't figure it out).  

-If we park in front of her apartment complex for even 15 min...she will be knocking on our door or yelling out her window asking us to move our car...even though she doesn't drive.  

-After Isaac & Jordan were born she was knocking on our door 5 min after getting home from the hospital ready to see the new baby! ...with Jordan we finally learned we could just ask her to come back a little later once we got settled in.  

-She clips coupons for us for diapers which is super sweet...however I never use coupons but don't have the heart to tell her, so I just smile and say thank you.  One time she gave me a coupon for feminine pads...hmm...that is getting a little to personal.  :)  

-I think she is trying to steal my husband...she is always trying to lure Nick into her apartment by asking him to take her trash out, flip her mattress, or fix her "broken" tape player.  

-For Isaac's birthday she gave him  a card with a $1 bill in it...that was really cute.  

You see she does do really sweet things with some sketchy stuff in between which is the reason why I needed to introduce you to her because I am sure I will have more stories to tell soon.  :)

Last Month

I'm in my last month of maternity leave.  It has surprised me so much by how much I LOVE being home with my kids.  I am one who doesn't love the newborn stage, but actually have been surprised by how much I am enjoying Jordan in this phase.  I feel like all of the sudden, God has changed my heart and has increased my desire to be a stay at home mom.  It feels really weird for me to say that because with Isaac it really didn't bother me that much to go back to work.  I think now that Isaac is getting older and the thought of him being ready for preschool by next year really freaks me out.  I don't want to miss a second with these boys.  I find myself really wanting to be there to discipline my child, to watch him expand his vocabulary every day, potty train, etc.  Isaac and I have really bonded over this maternity leave and it's been really fun and special for me to be able to be home for this amount of time.

So I am taking a small leap of faith and dropping more hours at work and praying that God would make it possible for me to eventually stay at home.
