Smoothie Time

Aside from the crazy weather today we had a pretty good day.  I started the day with a startling wakeup from the extreme gusts of wind that blew the patio door open in my bedroom!  Talk about being jolted out of bed.  That certainly got my blood pumping.  But, we had places to go so it was nice to get up and get going since we were headed into midtown to meet a friend, Holley, for lunch.  We certainly timed our morning outing just right.  We finished lunch, headed home and as soon as we were less than a mile from home I heard the tornado sirens going off which meant bad weather, which meant spending the rest of the day inside.

My initial thought was not to worry.  I planned to head inside, get Isaac settled down for his afternoon nap and then take it from there.  All was going according to plan until we walked upstairs and found the patio door in my bedroom open again!

I knew the wind had blown the door open again but Isaac could hear the sirens so he was a bit anxious.  So much for nap time.  Putting a toddler to bed for a nap is hard enough and with the added sirens, dark clouds and pounding rain.....forget it.  I laid him down on our bed for a bit and watched the news to track the weather.  Isaac finally started to settle down and before too long I put him down for his nap but remained upstairs in the event we needed to make a quick dash to the basement.  Let's just say I strongly dislike severe weather.

Eventually the storms passed our area and Isaac woke up from his nap so it was time for some indoor fun.  I also decided to make a smoothie for a quick snack and Isaac made his first attempt at drinking from a big boy glass.

His first couple attempts he was very cautious and took his time.  Then he decided he liked the smoothie and wanted more.  Instead of taking his time again he decided to knock it back and chug the smoothie.  He was covered in smoothie!  It went all over his face, down his shirt and up his nose.

He didn't seem to mind other than the countless times I had to clean the berries out of his nose.  The look on his face says it all.  

It was an eventful day but we stayed safe while having lots of fun too.  :)
