Just a week

Winry really likes to play out front, and Grayson often comes along with her.  They'll head out of the garage and often find something good to play with along the way.  For the last little bit, there's been a kite sitting out in the garage.  We've never had a good windy day and remembered the kite is sitting there (hopefully soon) at the same time, but that won't stop us from running like the wind!

The kids were looking for ways to be snuggly I guess, and the go to item was mermaid tail blankets.  Grayson's baby Yoda snuggie thing made it's way in, and this mix was the result.  Lovely.

Here's my favorite shot from school!  It's hard to imagine he's not the happiest kid on the playground right there.

On Saturday I had a date night planned to watch the BYU basketball game on Saturday night.  I bought some face decals and maple bars, etc. to try to get more of a BYU experience.  However, Monica was feeling sick, so I moved it up to the football game (which was in the afternoon) and included the kids... and as I'm writing this I'm realizing we never did my BYU trivia...  Looks like I've already got next week's date planned! 

The kids really wanted to go to the library, so I took them right when the football game ended.  The library wasn't open much later than when we got there. We also couldn't find the library card. So we had a little time inside, but mostly played on the playground outside.  It's pretty cool and bird shaped.  On our way back to the car, we got our picture by the sign.

That evening, Jelly was waiting for someone to spend some time with her halfway up the staircase, so I obliged.

And Monica pulled out all of the ginger from the garden.  Looks like we got quite a bit!  I've never cooked with ginger, so I really don't know how much this is, but it seems like a lot compared to the size you buy at the store.

Monica was sick much of the week, and I think that's part of what kept things slower around here.  I feel like it's been ebbing and flowing a little bit with some days her feeling better than others, but hopefully she can kick it soon and just feel better.  She's also been losing her ability to taste, which, thankfully has not been showing in her cooking!  That's still been as good as ever.
