I've wanted to see Wicked for a long time, so when my friend Karlea posted on Facebook that she wanted to sell her tickets I jumped at the chance to go.  But then I found out that Charlie really wasn't interested and Karlea could still go (just not her husband), so the two of us went together.  It was a fun girl's night out and I loved the show!  I read the book a few years ago and was not impressed, but the musical was fantastic.  I loved the music and the story was much much better than in the book.

Isaac tends to get pretty wound up right around bed time and that makes Cracker nervous, so Cracker has to follow him around and see what he is up to.  He also tries to drink Isaac's bath water, which Isaac thinks is absolutely hilarious.

Our sister-in-law brother and his family and some friends were in CA this week to go to Disneyland.  They brought this trailer down to carry all of their luggage and needed a place to park it for a few days so we volunteered our parking spot.  Isaac is really into wearing his hats lately (tonight it's his police hat from London), and also his "cuddly" pants (soft cotton pants) which he insists on changing into the moment we walk in the door from school each day.

This is a pretty average mess in Isaac's room at the end of the day.  His toys are much more organized now that he's moved to his new room, but he still manages to create some decent mayhem.  I'm sure there was a similar situation going on in the living room this night, and maybe in Charlie & I's bedroom as well.

The last time I got a pedicure was almost 4 years ago when I was pregnant with Isaac.  I actually prefer to do it myself, but as my stomach grows bigger it becomes increasingly difficult for me to reach my toes.  Our friend Naddia had mentioned at dinner the night before that she was going for a pedicure in the morning, so I decided to go with her.

I forgot to take a photo for the day until bed time.  This is the lip balm I use every night before bed.  My mother-in-law, Janelle, bought me a colored lip gloss version of this for Christmas one year and I've loved it ever since.

Isaac & Cracker are complete opposites in that Isaac wants to be friends with every dog we see, and Cracker absolutely does not.  When we came back from our walk today two of our neighbors were out front with their dogs.  Cracker is a grumpy old man (I put him back inside) and doesn't really play, so Isaac thought it was hilarious to watch these four little dogs chasing and wrestling together.  He also really liked holding onto their leashes so he could take them for walks around the yard.

I got brave and attempted to take Isaac shopping with me.  I knew I wouldn't have more than about 10 minutes, so we only went to one store:  Forever 21, because they are one of the few stores that carry maternity clothes.  This photo shows how Isaac entertained himself while I tried on a few things.  (And I didn't buy that top because it looked too tent-ish.)  After my time was up we headed to the carousel, a few water fountains, and the fish tank in the kid's shoe department at Nordstrom.

Tonight's dinner = FAIL.  I've been trying out some new recipes this week, mostly from past issues of Everyday Food magazine.  Tonight I made these Stuffed Poblano Peppers, and they were not very good at all.  The sauce was okay, but the filling in the peppers was pretty bland.  Too much cornmeal, not enough cheese, and just overall lacking in flavor.  We went ahead and ate dinner (at least the guacamole that I made was good) but I threw out the rest of the peppers.  I hate wasting food, but these were really pretty disappointing.

I forgot to take a photo for today, so here is a nice shot of my big stomach while I am updating my blog.  The baby is moving like crazy (he always does around this time of night) but of course you can't tell that from the photo.  And this is exactly what Cracker does every evening.  He cuddles up as close as he can get to Charlie or I on the couch and then he's out.
