Wait, I have proof there was a week between our weekends! Here's Grayson gardening at school! Looks like he's having a great time, and the flowers look nice! Maybe I'll have him show me the planter bed next time I'm down at the school. Looks like they did a great job.
On Friday, Brooke had a homeschool field trip lined up, and Grayson was of course going along because he doesn't have school on Friday. They went to the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center in south Austin. It looks like it was pretty awesome, and I selected a smattering of pictures of the kids having fun. This kinda looks like Grayson is caught in a spider's web.
And here's Brooke and... wait! Didn't Winry have school? I mean, technically, but it was also a half day, so that's basically a no school day, so Monica let Winry come along too! And here are the hens keeping their eggs warm.
And here's Winry and Sierra sailing the front of a ship! This place essentially had a lot of big, cool and unique playground type structures. It looks like it was a lot of fun.
On Saturday, we spent much of the day trying to get the house ready for Brooke's birthday party. My main goal was to keep Grayson busy. I was able to help with cleaning and set up in the morning, but in the afternoon, Grayson got bored and I found myself in the backyard. That said, I will not complain, it was a beautiful day, and it was NOT hot either!! Lovely.
Grayson thought relaxing on the swing seemed pretty sweet too, and he came and joined me.
Oh, that actually happened in the morning, as the girls were off at a dance camp at the middle school. The camp was a few hours, and at the end we were able to come and watch them all dance! Here's Winry.
And here's Brooke's dance. One thing I thought while watching this, is that I think Brooke would be able to make the middle school dance team now if she tried out. Looks like all those dance lessons are paying off!
Here are the kids with Ashley, their favorite babysitter. She is on the middle school dance team and is who told us about the camp. The kids love her so much, and she was even helping in Winry's group!
That evening was Brooke's party. It was a Wicked themed spa night, and I missed most of it. At the start, Grayson and I were up in his room trying out one of his hot wheel tracks he got from the Lasky's. This track you have to attach to the wall, so that's why we hadn't done it yet. But this seemed like a time worth getting out 3M strips for.
After playing for a while, Grayson wanted to go to Chick-Fil-A which was the original plan to keep him from disturbing the party. I thought maybe we'd just hang out at home since we were having so much fun with the hot wheels track. But he sure didn't forget I offered Chick-fil-a earlier in the day, so off we went. He had fun playing in the playground and even got ice cream. We made it back for the last bit of the party to sing to Brooke and have a brownie.
After the kids went to bed, we had the Packers over for date night. It was a secret date night, so don't say ANYTHING about this before Christmas! I needed to make sure what I got worked, and the best way to check was a fun date night.
I mean, you know you're having fun when even Jelly comes by to have a turn.
On Sunday morning, the kids were all playing together. From downstairs, I heard Winry ask Grayson if he knew how "Jingle Bells" went, and then they played a very lovely rendition of "Jingle Bells" for quite a while. You know what, they never fought, so I've heard worse sounding play.
