Low Key Weekend

Our weekend was pretty laid back and it was very nice. Grandpa came to visit on Sat and brought us lunch. Jeff "conveniently" started his weekend project of replacing our broken garbage disposal one hour before Grandpa arrived. Isabella wanted to help and since it was a plumbing job I had to shoot this picture because she was showing a little butt crack.
I think the jeans she was wearing don't quite fit her yet, so I switched her into some different pants later on.

When Grandpa arrived he jumped right into the project. I heard some talk about a trip to the hardware store, but they got it done with no trips needed. I'm so glad we have a fully functional disposal again. Isabella creates lots of messes at mealtime and lots of it just ends up down the sink. Thanks for all your help, Grandpa! Jeff admitted later on that although he didn't purposely start the project so that Grandpa would be there to assist, but he felt better knowing that if he did get really stuck, backup was already nearby.

Grandpa got to witness Isabella throwing fake tantrums. She sort of fake cries and stomps her feet really fast. Every stunt she pulls like that I just say "she must have learned that at daycare". I believe that will be my excuse for lots of things to come!

Later that night I ran the dishwasher before I went to bed. I heard Jeff yell (scream) a few minutes later and I ran to see what was going on. There was water all over the kitchen floor. We thought for sure we'd really messed up the installation of the garbage disposal, but it turned out I had jammed a spatula in the dishwasher door and that was the cause. Whew!

I've started finding things in drawers that don't belong there and I know my little Isabella must have been there when I wasn't looking. I'm sure the cute-ness of this will wear off quickly, but I'll just enjoy it for now. Leaving you with a little video of Isabella trying to get the camera.
