As mentioned, this past week was pi day! Monica made a peanut butter chocolate pie for us to eat, and we had a chicken pot pie for dinner! I've been really bad at taking pictures lately, and I know this because the only picture I have is of the chicken pot pie in the oven, and I only took it so I could text it to Monica to see if it was done... but at least I have one!
Brooke went on a short potty training adventure this past week. I think she was committed to the idea for 2 days. She did a good job too. She had some accidents, but she used the potty several times. But after about 2 days she decided she was done and asked for diapers again... She even had a play day with her friend, Eden, and they both worked on potty training together!
For those who don't know march tenth was Mario day (MAR10), and google maps let you use Mario in a go-kart as your location indicator when you were getting driving directions. Don't worry, I grabbed a screen shot. I know it's a limited time thing, so if you haven't gotten directions lately get some soon!
I don't know what it is about kids and clothing, but until at least a year they never seem to stay in it right. With Brooke it was typically just getting her feet out and being curled up in the chest of her onesie, but Winry has taken it to new levels with her latest toe escape...
On Saturday morning Brooke got Monica's phone and wanted to take some pictures. She took 95 in total (in about 2 minutes), and I grabbed a picture of me and Winry that she took. Most of them were of things like our feet and the play mat...but this one turned out pretty good!
As well as one of Monica, and I picked this one because it has the most of her head in it of any of them. (Note from Monica- please ignore the unfortunateness of this picture, in fact you can just skip looking at it all together if you want!)
I went to a podiatrist this past week to have him look at my foot and tell me his thoughts on my plantar fasciitis and I ordered orthodics. I think the saddest news I got from the whole thing is that if I had just gone in 5-6 months ago I wouldn't have had to stop running... but the good news was he basically said I can start running again. So we went for a half mile run yesterday all together and I got to push the double stroller. It was great to get out and run again! When we got home Brooke wanted to run too so we went in the back yard and took turns chasing each other.
I went to the temple on Saturday morning, and while I was gone Monica did an exercise video and Brooke joined her! When they were done they needed some protein shakes to recover! Everyone was so active this past week! Jelly even did some stretches down the stairs.
Today in sacrament meeting things were going pretty well. Monica had to take Winry to go feed her, and while they were gone Brooke asked to get in Winry's car seat,... so I put her in :)! Monica was really excited when she got back! She was good in there for the most part, but just a little before the end of sacrament meeting she started saying "Sooooo... Winry had a blowout last night." over and over. Both our row and the row behind us were laughing pretty hard.
Also, Monica reminded me of another fun story from nursery a few weeks ago. When we picked her up we asked her what she did in nursery and she said she cried. So we asked "What did your teachers do when you cried?" Her reply? "They put my shoe back on!"
Today in church we had a lesson about the scriptures. The scriptures are such a blessing in our lives! I am so grateful we have the scriptures to help us learn and remember Christ always. I encourage everyone to read from the scriptures daily. I know that scripture study has provided peace and enlightenment in my life. I know the Book of Mormon is true, and is the word of God. I know that Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon by the power of God. I say this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Uh that Mario day thing is awesome!
