Hello everyone! I hope all are doing well this fine week. Things here have been going well. I ordered some new running shoes because mine are getting close to their end, and they came in a pretty big box that Brooke has claimed as her second room. She just started putting toys and books in it one day and then she climbs in and plays and looks at the books and lays down on blankie to take a mini-nap!
On Tuesday night we did Chopped (a food cook off) for mutual. They split all the kids into 2 groups, and they first had to see how many people could pass off memorizing the theme for the year. The winning team got all kinds of benefits in the next round (such as a recipe) which was making cupcakes. Here is a picture of the final products. It was pretty close :).
Here's another picture of Brooke in her second room, crawling around.
On Friday we had a team building event at work for my project and a few other of the small projects. We went to an archery place, and I feel like I did alright! We weren't shooting terribly far, but we also didn't have a great bow/arrow setup either.
I mentioned before that I was working on a card game. Well, I sent it off to a printer and my copy came back yesterday! Here's the box.

And the back of the cards.
And the front. Monica and I gave it a play once the cards came in and it sure is nice to have real cards to play with! It's a lot better than flimsy paper that you can see through. Now that I've got real cards it's time for more play testing as well as checking for any corrections/things that just didn't come out right in the print. If you're interested in giving it a try let me know!
For Christmas Monica gave me tickets to Beauty and the Beast at the local theater. That was last night, so we made a date of it and went to get sushi before. We found a restaurant by our house for our house-aversary that was really good, so we went back. It was a lot of fun and the sushi was great. Neither of us is very versed in sushi, but we did get one with raw salmon. Not very risky, but you gotta start somewhere! I think next time we'll have to get some sashimi!
And here we are by a poster at the theater. It was super good, and now I want to see both the old Disney one as well as the new one that's coming out in a month! After the play we went and got some ice cream on the way home! Such a night!
Today we took Brooke for a walk after church. She (for what I believe was the first time) looked up and saw us through the little flap! She kept looking up and waving at us!
Tonight at dinner she was enjoying playing with her plate. She was holding it out like a steering wheel and turning it. Did she think she was driving? No, but she had a lot of fun. Then she started picking it up and putting it on her head... or... back.
