We got friends in cold places

Another sub-zero day here in the spectacular Mid-Atlantic. We spent it indoors at the AnthonyCarlos estates, playing with Buzz and Woody, play-doh, trains, cars, airplanes, balls, play food, and their baby sister Anna, who has suddenly sprouted eyelashes and dimples.

Speaking of playdates, we hooked up with Isaac's future wife, Ella, on Monday to celebrate her second birthday. Wasn't it just yesterday we were crawling around on her floor at her first birthday party? How many times can I wonder aloud where the time goes before people quit reading?


Also, to make up for the negligent parenting of Tuesday, we made a racetrack together. Only minor amounts of tape were consumed by the Jake.

While this looks like a wonderful idea, it was not. Hey, I used to be a blond and am allowed such moments. Turns out the blue painting tape costs $7 a roll and, when left on through the course of a 3-hour nap, deposited residue on some of the floor. Rock!

In other news, Jacob is now walking more than crawling. Video to come soon.

Gma -- nah, it's alright. We did something else. You don't need to send it right now. And yes, I did try Murphy's Oil Soap and it STILL wouldn't come off.

LOL I was thinking about the expensive blue tape when I saw that racetrack. We have gone through a few rolls around here lately. But what a great idea! You are so creative! Can we come over and play?

And how is it that Jacob is now walking? Wasn't he just born about 2 months ago?

HAHAHA. You crack me up. That's totally something I would do. But it looks so fun! What a great mommy you are! I'm sure they loved it.
