Weekly Update: November 14-18, 2011

This week Isaac made 2 mini loaves of bread in cooking class.  One was a rye bread and the other was a cranberry loaf.  I really liked the cranberry loaf, but Daddy thought it tasted too much like fruitcake for his liking.

 

On Tuesday Auntie K and G came over for a morning play date.  We made blueberry pancakes together.  They brought over some chocolate zucchini cake.  I need to remember to return her container.  As it neared 1pm, Isaac and G went a little crazy running around and chasing each other.  I think they both had a good time.  We need to organize our mini playgroup Christmas party soon.  In the afternoon, Isaac napped in the stroller while I went to the library to return some books and pick out some new ones.

Wednesday morning we arrived a little late to preschool.  Normally we're there before they open the doors. I guess we left the house a tad late.  I returned some more books while Isaac was at school.  When I got home, I noticed that the number of items we have at home and the number the computer system says we have checked out doesn't match up.  Isaac has 24 items at home, so keeping track of everything is tedious (since he messes up the pile).  Anyhow, I've had problems with books not getting checked in at least a couple of previous times so I try to keep on top of checking up after I make returns.  I was able to clear the book off our account, but they didn't want to do a shelf check to verify if it was there or not.  I'm tempted to go and look for that book the next time I stop by that branch.

Wednesday afternoon and evening Isaac complained about having a tummy ache and had diarrhea.  On Thursday morning, he still had diarrhea, but was acting completely normal otherwise.  He couldn't go to school so we played at home all day.

Friday we skipped out on meeting up with his playgroup friends.  Actually it was more because I was too tired to go.  My sleep schedule is a bit messed up at the moment because my nap times are at bad times.  I found Isaac's Christmas present at Value Village.  He's getting a 250 piece set of TinkerToys - it was complete though 2 pieces were broken (so I tossed them out).

Currently dvd requests: Dora the Explorer.  He likes the music and most of the characters except for Swiper the Fox.  He also likes watching All About Volcanoes - it's a video for young kids (about K-Grade 4 level).  I might borrow other videos from that series to see if he likes any of the other topics.
