A kitchen towel, onesie, and packaging tape

Isaac was down to his last diaper this morning BUT I had to change him twice before I could get to the store and get more diapers....soooooo....I had to improvise a bit...I lined a kitchen towel with a onesie and tape the sides with packaging tape and it worked!! Maybe I'll send this idea into "Hints from Heloise"...or something....No..I imagine I'm not the ONLY one who's ever had to do something like that...

Isaac's First Corvette Ride

Blane took Isaac for a short ride in his corvette and when they pulled into the driveway afterward, he (Isaac, not Blane) was fast asleep!!! I guess he enjoyed the ride! The night before we all went for a moonlight bike ride on the rail trail...with about 30 other people. It started at 8:30pm till about 10:30pm with snacks at the end. Pretty much cancelled out any exercise I got since I stuffed my face with shortbread cookies....
Blane took the day off yesterday....and we set out stuff for our community yard sale...only three houses were doing it so far...and I brought in a little over $4 by the afternoon...WHOOPEE!! Where am I gonna spend it all?

Definitely a "LIVING" Room...

...no there are no eggs in the cartons....they make great building blocks...

First Class Mail(Male)

Well I guess if he gets lost, someone can just mail him back to me.....

Tour De Fra....Uh Dover

Saturday, July 5th..Isaac went for his first bike ride and liked it! They just rode to a playground nearby and played for a bit and came home....Yesterday (Sunday July 6th), my brother Mark, Blane, Isaac and I all went for a bike ride. First we had to wait till the storm passed so we set out around 5:45pm with a diaper and wipes stuffed in the back of my bike shirt in case of emergency ....We rode about 20 miles....what?..what's that Blane? Oh...uh...about 2-1/2 miles....(felt like 20 to me) to one of Blane's aunt's house...visited for a bit so Isaac could load up on grapes, pretzels, strawberries and ginger snaps...then came home. I told Blane starting out that my tires just didn't feel right but he said he put plenty of air in them...so I just assumed it was me and I was out of shape all the more...but really I couldn't believe how far Mark and Blane got ahead of me even on the easy roads. When we got back, Blane looked at my tires and started laughing and told me to look. Well, my tires had plenty of pressure but the back tire wasn't tight and the WHOLE time had been rubbing against the frame!!!!! I'm pretty sure I had that same problem last week in the amazing race!

You The Owner's Manual

I just finished this book....and I regret spending the money buying it even if I got it for 30% off. I should have just as well checked it out from the library instead. I was disappointed the many times they referred to evolution, even if it was in passing. Some of the book was very good, but if you ever read it, I would say go into it with the idea that you will have to "take the meat and throw away the bones" as you read it...I did like their style of writing in layman's terms of how the body works and how everything fits together...All organs are important and depend on each other....What a MORE fascinating book it would have been if they were Christians and put a spiritual twist on it! But I guess that book's already been written - In His Image by Paul Brand, and also another book, Fearfully and Wonderfully Made by Paul Brand and Phillip Yancey (I think..I may have the authors wrong on that one)...
One thing the book said you could try to test your "brain strength" was to stand with your hands at your sides, close your eyes, and lift one leg...if you are 45 years old and can stand like that for at least 15 seconds, then you have REALLY good Brain strength! I'll just say that I'm still practicing to get there but I think it's improving!!! I'm getting good practice from precarious positions I find myself in when "saving" Isaac from diving off the furniture..that's GOTTA help, right?
