Isaac Gems

We were playing "would you rather?" on a long car ride...
Isaac: Would you rather be a light or an attic?
Me: Um, do you even know what an attic is?
Isaac: Yeeessss, it's a place you put things that you don't like.
Benji: a room
Isaac: A room you put things you don't like, and things you do...

On the same car ride...
Isaac: Would you rather be a round-about or a gate?
Me: A round-about because I like those. How about you?
Isaac: I'd be a fence.

Isaac: Grandma's really good at playing the Dr. Seuss matching game...but sometimes she wins.

Isaac: When Ezri stops drinking mommy milk will you still have those milk things?
Me: Um, yes. But they won't make milk anymore.
Isaac: Oh, ok.

Thirty


The big 3 - 0

I feel like I should contemplate my life
ponder what has been
and what might be

30 years filled to the brim of things to be thankful for

so someday I'll probably do that

but we chose to celebrate
by going to the newly opened CBeeBies Land instead!

Based on programs and characters from the 
children's BBC channel CBeeBies
the rides and shows were perfect for the boys

They had never been to a theme park before and loved it all - 
from the monorail
to rides "just their size"
and character "meet and greets"

In 6 hours we
rode 4 rides
saw 2 shows
and went to the aquarium
(obviously we need to go into training before we attempt Disneyland!)

It was the perfect way to usher in this new decade
