Volleyball star alert! Here's Brooke at her very first volleyball game! Her league is not really competitive, and they don't keep score or anything, but Brooke is having an amazing time learning to play, and it was lot of fun to watch her out there. In the rotation everyone got to do a few serves, and also had a spot where a coach would toss the ball over to them to make sure they're getting practice at everything.
The girls are starting to get their dance outfits for the upcoming recital. They're very excited, and we've even asked multiple times if some of them have come in. I think this one is for hip hop.
Lately Grayson has wanted to sleep on his chair instead of his bed. This is how I found him one night. I also don't think he stays comfortable, because he'll usually end up moving to his bed at some point in the night.
Lizards are back! Well, at least for a day or two. We had a hot day in the 80's I think, and there was a lizard on our tree again. Yay!
Speaking of Grayson and sleeping, he's also decided to go back to a sleep sack. He does technically fit in it, but he is way too big for it and doesn't have much space to wiggle around. He can get his feet stuck in the corners though, and then it's easier to walk around. Using a sleep sack does keep him off his chair as well, though he sometimes wakes up during the night, likely being uncomfortable.
Brooke and Grayson went to the library for a puppet show. There's also a smaller stage always set up in the children's area of the library so Grayson and Brooke decided to do a show of their own!
On Leap Day, we celebrated at Jeramiah's, which was doing a big leap day celebration. Treats were only 96 cents, and they had slap bracelets, and put gummy frogs on the top, and all kinds of things. Putting 2 and 2 together, it would appear that they started in 1996, and their mascot is a frog, so they had a leap day throw back. It was awesome! Also, the employees were amazingly nice, which is double impressive when you think about how busy a day it probably was!
Cat bed, why buy one of those. No, Jelly now prefers to sleep 5 feet away on my backpack! Lately she's been sleeping there or on a pile of boxes. I'm not sure why her bed lost favor, but she used to like it.
After Brooke's volleyball game on Saturday we went for a little walk over a bridge next to the rec center, and then the kids played on the playground for a little. It was a very little, because no one was happy about the playground for some reason, but Winry did some climbing and had a good time.
On Saturday night we put together our new fire pit and roasted hot dogs! We don't have a good place in the backyard, so we set up in the middle of the driveway.
Grayson was trying to be helpful, and at one point tried to grab the grate to go back on top of the fire. It had been off for a while, but it was still very hot, and he burned his hand. Poor little guy! I felt so bad for him. We ran his hand under water for a little, and then he brought a cup of water out with him so he could keep soaking his hand, but still be out with the fire and food.
You can see his pointer finger is a little blistered. He had us put a band aid on that, and his middle finger. I think the band aids were a good call, because if nothing else, I think they just made him use those fingers less. I'm glad he only touched it for a second, and that the grate had been out of the fire for a bit, because I'm sure this could have been much worse.
On Sunday we had a special apple snack. Monice got some green apples specifically so that we could use these shape cut outs that we had on them. The kids super love having apples like this, so maybe we'll have to keep buying two colors.
