On Tuesday, Brooke had a dentist appointment. I believe this is her second one she's had, but this is the first time I was there. They took some x-rays, but the device was too big for Brooke's mouth, so they couldn't really get both top and bottom. Brooke didn't like it because it was so far into her mouth, but she was a trooper about the whole experience. Her teeth looked great, and she enjoyed getting her teeth polished! All in all we had a great time, and her's and Monica's teeth were great!
Tuesday evening, Monica flew off to San Diego to go to her grandma's funeral, and I stayed home with the kids. On Wednesday morning, we had cereal for breakfast. We had a pack of little cereal boxes, and the kids loved them! I let them pick what they wanted, and they decided to split the Fruit Loops and the Apple Jacks.
I got the Frosted Flakes and Cocoa Pebbles. It was a wonderful breakfast, and even evolved into everyone taking turns pretending to be Santa!
Our final inspection was scheduled for Wednesday, and our time slot was from 10 to noon, so we had some time to kill in the morning. We headed to King Soopers to grab a few groceries, and the girls got to take turns riding the horse. Brooke rode to Philadelphia, and Winry rode to Utah. We were there for a LONG time, good thing the store provides a bowl of pennies.
We wanted to go to the museum, but again, we were waiting for the final inspection. That meant it was time to find things to do around the house. Honestly, we have a lot of stuff to do around the house. This morning stuffed animals were the top game, and Winry was helping Minnie Mouse get to sleep. When did she get so big!?! It's so cute to see our girls play mommy with their dolls!
After the inspector stopped by for at most 5 minutes, our basement was officially finished, and we headed off to the museum. We got there around noon, so the first thing we did was have lunch. After lunch we went into the kids area for a LONG time. The girls played with basically everything except the sand pit. They loved the lite brites, and I eventually had to ask them to move on to a new game so other kids could play with them as we were causing a line.
We eventually worked our way over to the animals, and stopped to ride the new half pipe on the way! Look at these amazing tricks the girls were pulling off!
We headed from the museum over to Tyson and Tina's mostly because Winry has been missing Megan so much! Since Thanksgiving, whenever we're in the car heading to church, Winry will ask "See Megan?" So since we were kinda heading toward them I figured why not stop by after the museum? We had a lot of fun, and Winry was very excited to play with Megan. We were also invited for dinner, which was very nice since we showed up rather unannounced. While we were there we also saw our great Christmas present in action!
Monica came back Thursday morning and things headed back toward normal. That night we decided to go out for dinner to Indochine. It's down on main street, and after dinner we went out to see some of the Christmas decorations. We're going to head back to see more, probably tomorrow night.
Yesterday (Saturday) was the final day of my training plan. A few months ago I decided that my running had been a little too loose in structure, so made a new training plan. For the most part it worked great, though I did do a few tweaks toward the end that will roll forward into future training plans. I ran a 10k about 4 months ago in 47:02. After that I took a week off, and then started this training plan. Race day was not an actual race this time, I just went out to the trail and ran it on my own, but I came in at 43:16!! That's 6:50 a mile! Looks like things really did work out great!
This morning we did some special getting ready for church, and the girls both got their hair curled. This was Winry's first time, and she did really well, though her hair didn't curl very well.
After church, we read Luke 2 and watched the new "nativity" video from the church called The Christ Child. It was really good, and everyone enjoyed it! After, Winry took a nap and Brooke and Monica made cookies for Santa!! Monica told Brooke, show me how excited you are for Santa to come! This was the face we got in return.
That's all I've got for this week. Have a Merry Christmas!
