Happy Second Birthday, Isaac!

Isaac turned two today.  I can't believe that it has been two years since that crazy morning. 

We had his party yesterday.  My parents drove down and brought Lexie with them, and the Rogers family joined us, along with Grandma Linda and Grandpa Butch, who graciously allowed us to take over their house.  We had a couple come over who do face painting and balloon animals for the kids.  The kids kept them busy for the whole time they were here and even a few of the adults got some painting done.  Here are a few pictures:

You can see a little bit of one of our Dum-Dum balls in the picture above.  Basically, along with being one of Isaac's favorite treats, I thought it would keep Mackenzie busy the morning of the party to have her stick Dum-Dum suckers into styrofome (I originally wanted a cone, but Meijer's only had balls, so I got a package of 3).  She had a ball doing it and I had to let her start the night before and then I had to go get more Dum-Dums the next day.  Isaac even helped some.  Anyway, they were a hit and the kids have way too many Dum-Dums now. 

Mackenzie got to go home with Grandma Kathy, Grandpa Mike and Lexie (thank you Grandma and Grandpa).  She was super excited, but it has been a while since she went to a sleep over, so she needed to take something of Mom's, something of Dad's and something of Isaac's "to remember us by".  Isaac was not so happy that Grandpa Mike left with Mackenzie and not him.  Maybe next year he'll get his chance.
Later that evening we were in Papa's van on the way to dinner and Isaac asked for a Dum-Dum. Evidently Grandpa keeps some in the van for the kids. Grandpa told Isaac that he couldn't have Dum-Dums in the car when Grandma was in the car. Isaac's solution to that problem was to respond, "Grandma, out!" Perhaps we should limit Isaac's Dum-Dum intake.
