This past week in the morning Winry started to crawl backwards in circles! The girls continue to get up in the morning and work out with me. Brooke loves to do her push ups, and she keeps getting better! I think she might even do a real one sometime soon!
Brooke wore her Westminster shirt this past week and was really excited about the griffins, so I got her to do some griffin claws and snapped a picture for Niki! Turns out she has games in Colorado this weekend, but they're over in Grand Junction so we wont be attending. Good luck Niki and GO GRIFFINS! (P.S. I've got the game up right now while I'm writing this)
On Thursday night after the kids were in bed Monica and I heard a weird sound from upstairs, so Monica sent me to investigate. When I got upstairs I started looking around our room for Jelly, and I found her on top of our clothes in the closet! This is a good 5 feet from the ground, so I'm really not sure how she got up there... It was really funny though, but it didn't seem like she was sure how to get down, and it was hard to grab her and get her out, but I got her down safe and sound in the end. I know she's been up there before because I've found cat hair on the collars of my suit coats, but it was nice to get some validation and know I wasn't crazy.
On Friday Monica took the girls to the museum. They had a great time, and Brooke got to ride a wooden llama!
They found a new children's area they hadn't been to before, and Winry successfully wrangled a platypus.
And on the drive home everyone (except Monica) fell asleep! What a morning!
Saturday morning we all went to the library together. We got a bunch of good books, but had to leave a little quickly because Winry needed to get home and have a nap. When we got home, Jelly was really interested in reading the books that we got!
While at the library, we got the Aristocats, so when we got home we all watched it during Winry's nap. Everyone loved it so much, and Brooke was highly anticipating "Everybody want's to be a cat" through the entire movie. We've been listening to a Disney playlist recently and she's apparently grown fond of that song. Also, she used her mermaid tale blanket while watching the movie and got her feet down into the ends of the fins!
That afternoon I wanted to get out and do something, and Brooke, always ready for a good time, wanted to come with me! We were watching a friends toddler, so the plan was to stay home, but I guess I went a little stir crazy. Anyway, where does an adventurous duo go on a Saturday afternoon? Costco of course! That's prime sample time! And we definitely were collecting them faster than Brooke could eat them. Some of them were also really hot when we got them and needed to cool. We got enough samples that Brooke didn't even finish all of her's because she got full!
Costco was followed up by a trip to the dollar store. Brooke really loves to wrap things up in blankets and give them to people in our family as presents. I told her that sometime I would take her to the dollar store and let her pick a present for everyone, and literally later that day we headed to the dollar store. Brooke was really excited to get everyone a present, and when we got home we wrapped them all up and handed them out! What a great gift giver!!
We took one of my new notebooks to church today and Brooke was drawing pictures of everyone around us and giving them to them! They're pretty awesome pictures, and mine looks just like me! I'm purple, Monica is yellow, Brooke is pink and Winry is green.
For lunch today we had crepes! That was a quick turn around. Talking about getting crepes last week and we've already got our own crepe maker. The first couple we made were a little rough while we were getting the hang of things, but in the end they turned out great, and everyone loved their lunch! We also made many extra, so I guess we'll have to eat them during this next week. Sigh, what a hard life!
Well, that's all for this week. Brooke's having a crisis right now. Today's crisis is cutting nails, not to be confused with yesterday's which was bath time... sigh... I hope everyone has a fantastic week! I know we will.
