First time in a movie theater
I know I just posted on Monday but I feel like I’ve been gone for ages, like I have so much to catch up on. I think the reason is, we had a busy weekend out with friends. And Isabelle has been a handful. Then there was my first post on Label-Free. So yeah BUSY.

Running around afterwards
Today, I finally managed to get the pictures off the camera. So a little catch up here. On Sunday we went to watch Wall-E. It’s the first time Isabelle has seen a movie in a movie theater. I think she handled it very well. I mean how could she not like it? Popcorn. Icee. Cartoon on a big screen.

You can't catch me!

We went with our friends Veronica and Dennis. They sat in seats in front of us because it was so packed. At some point Isabelle wasn’t sitting anymore. She was standing. It was nice though because they could hear Isabelle when we couldn’t. They said they could hear her oohs and aaahs in their ears. Now if strangers were sitting there, they may have been giving her dirty looks. And we wouldn’t have known Isabelle was making oooh and ahh noises.

Daddy's got you!
She almost lasted the whole movie, but not quite. Towards the end she started saying, “go home! go home!” But pretty darn good for her first movie theater experience.

And frozen yogurt after that

Squatting to Take a Poop

Squatting to take a poop dinosaur
On the weekend, when I was trying to start the reverse appliqué skirt for myself, Isabelle said, “Mama, make dinosaur!”

And I said, “Ok” and hurriedly made one.

Then Alan said, “why does it look like he’s squatting to take a poop?”

“I don’t know! But did you know I didn’t stuff his neck completely? How the hell did I manage that?!”

That’s what happens with hurried sewing.

Everyone enjoy your weekend. We’re waking up early to watch a parade! Eeerr…or I should say attempting to wake up early.

Not interested in the parade
We had a long day yesterday. We managed to wake up early to catch a parade, barely. Isabelle wasn’t much interested though.

The bookstore is more fun
She thought the bookstore was more fun.

And the park is even more fun
And the park.

Ooooh fireworks!
Then we ended the night with fireworks, her first ever. “Oooooh” is what she was saying.
