Brooke continues to love to help put Winry down for naps or bed. She loves rocking her in her chair, and singing her songs. I won't speak for Monica, but for me it almost makes it easier, except that once I get Winry I still end up singing her the same number of songs.
Every now and then a friend comes with us in the car. Don't worry, Brooke makes sure they're safe and get's them in the seat belt. Also, it looks like bear is borrowing some of Brooke's shoes for this particular outing.
On Tuesday, Monica and some of her friends went to the zoo. Brooke was very excited to have Alayna there with her! They would go running off holding hands, which as long as they didn't go too far off was cute. However, Winry is less accustomed to sharing her best friend and always had to go chasing off after them! Poor Winry! But Brooke is a good sport and very much tries to make sure her little sister is happy.
Speaking of, after they got back from the zoo it was naturally time to flip Jellly's scratching arc over and do some "sledding!" Looks like a good time.
Tuesday started swim lessons again, and this time for both Brooke and Winry. Brooke had a great time in her lesson, though there are a few rowdy kids in her class. During her second class on Thursday she got pushed into the pool... Super "exciting," but she was alright and after her teacher snatched her up and she calmed down, she jumped straight in to her teacher! Winry also had a great time in her lesson, and we worked on jumping in the pool. She loves to jump in and to get dunked under! That's pretty fortunate.
On Wednesday when I got home from my run, I spied a squirrel on our roof. I think he's trying to find our trees that we had taken down...
I came in to do some foam rolling and Jelly walked right up into my lap! This was also the day the first picture was from, so the girls took Jelly's cue in the morning and hopped on my lap at night.
Winry has started to get more daring at the park, and now climbs up this stair case and goes down the twisty slide all by herself! It's pretty nice because Brooke loves to make that same loop, so now they can both just loop around and around at the park!
The basement continues to progress, and on Wednesday night, Brooke helped me put up little metal brackets so that we could put the shelves up in the basement! What a fine set of shelves!
On Saturday morning Monica was going through Halloween things and next thing I knew Pikachu was walking over to me! We're thinking we'll let Winry wear this for either the ward trunk or treat, or for actual trick or treating. It's a super cute costume!
Shortly after, it was time to get ready to go running. It was a pretty cold morning at 41 degrees, so we had to bundle up the kids. Here's Brooke all ready to go.
And here's Winry almost ready to go. We had an alright time. It was an 8 mile run, and the latter half of this week I've been sick with whatever Monica had at the start of the week. Turns out I was a little tired from being sick and the run was a little much for me, but we made it through, and the girls still had a good time.
When we got home we found a huge surprise. Monica had set up a whole bunch of conference stations for the girls! They had coloring pages, snacks, blocks, and a baby care station (including a baby pack n play, bath tub, blankets, rocking chair, potty, bottles, and brushes). It definitely kept them busy for the most part, and we were able to listen to conference!
Also, per tradition we had cinnamon rolls! They got done a little later than usual, and we ended up having lunch cinnamon rolls instead of breakfast ones. Still, there's never a bad time to eat a cinnamon roll.
After conference, I took the kids to the park, and then we went to Noodles and Company for dinner while Monica went to watch the women's session. We had a good time and went to bed when we got home. As for today, the stations are still out, and conference is starting, so it looks like I finished just in time! Have a great week, and follow the prophet!
