When the Dada's away, the boys will play
Dada was out of town today and we all handled it pretty well. There was stinky Jake getting up at 5:30 to the sound of that silly Dada trying to use his electric razor in the bathroom at such an ungodly hour ... but other than that, everyone was cool. This is mostly because I played Isaac like a fiddle, having previously arranged with AnthonyCarlos's mommy to bring her luscious self and her darling boys to our house for a luxuriously long playdate this morning. All morning long, here's me: "Isaac, we have to do thisandthat because Anthony and Carlos are coming." "OKAY! OKAY!" he replies. Those boys, they all played hard. And when AnthonyCarlos got tired? I force-fed them pancakes so they would stay longer. Mwhu-hahaha.
Here's AnthonyCarlos's mommy (a crazy woman who is 6-1/2 months pregnant -- with a baby girl!) sharing her sunglasses with Isaac:

Everybody, all together.... into the itty-bitty sandbox! And no throwing sand on the grass, either, or you'll get an earful from your respective mother!

After the AnthonyCarlos entourage left the building, there was much napping. Suddenly we found ourselves ready for dinner, followed by a drive (to Starbucks! Cow milky for everyone!). When we got home it was too late to go to the park, so I indulged my little addict in a small dose of Toy Story while his brother joined him on our new basement couch:


Then came bathtime:

Then oh-my-lordy-Jacob-it's-10:30-why-aren't-you-tired-yet time, which I used to play with the settings on the new digital camera Dada bought me as an anniversary present. It has this nifty color-picker, ala Photoshop, where you can choose a color in the scene you wish to snap and highlight that color and make everything else black-and-white. So here's Jakey in his yellow jammies:

I had these grand plans for the evening of making Jacob some homemade baby food out of the apricots we have in the fridge, but now I fear waking him with the blender. Hm. Maybe tomorrow. Or maybe I will chicken out and buy some when we go to the grocery store.

Hannah loves Toy Story too!!!
Your boys are so cute!!!!
Job well done Mama! Put your feet up!
Hey Claire,
I know it's not the most exotic of baby foods, but if you haven't tried the applesauce from Milburn, it is fabulous and sugar/spice-free. Ella just scarfed down 2 bowls worth. We'll have to make a return visit soon. (Ella has been calling for Isaac and Jacob all week).
