A Week Bookended by Sickness

So, you may remember that I was able to drop a p.s. last week about the kids both being sick.  Well, we got the kids ready for bed, and in doing so made sure they both had their hair up/out of their face just in case.  Brooke was very excited to have "horn hair!"  It's a little hard to believe that she threw up just an hour or so before this picture, right?  Fortunately everyone slept well and it seems the worst was behind us.

The next day Jelly was getting a drink in the sink, and decided to start attacking the water.  I don't know if she does this often, but I've never seen it before!  What a crazy cat!

That night when we were getting ready for bed, Winry started to pull out her big tricks!  I don't know where she got that idea from, but she just started to put a book up on her feet to balance it over and over!  It was really cute and awesome!

On Tuesday while Gram was still in town, everyone (but me) headed to the museum!  They had a great time playing and showing Gram all the most important sights.  In the afternoon they took Gram back to the airport so she could head back home.  The girls were sad to see her go, but we're all happy that we got to have a whole lot of fun together!

On Wednesday morning, Winry found Brooke's Cinderella shoes and slipped them on.  She was really cute walking around in them!

Brooke missed preschool on Monday since she threw up the night before, so her second day was Wednesday!  It wasn't quite as great as the first day, but she still liked it and is excited to go back.  She got two bloody noses at preschool.  That would be her first time.  Nothing happened, it just started bleeding.  She also got pulled off a slide and pushed on the playground.  So a little rougher than the first day, but she was still a happy camper.

Later that day, the girls were playing with stickers, and a piece of the edge was on the floor and got stuck on Jelly's paw!  Monica said she was running around for a minute or so trying to get it off but couldn't.  In the end Monica helped her get it off, but not before taking a video!  Brooke still laughs about it when she sees the video or the animation below, so it must have been even better in person!

On Friday for family scripture study we acted out Lehi's dream.  The kids loved it, and honestly we should probably act out whatever the story is each week.  Brooke is at the perfect age for that right now and always wants to act things out over and over.

On Saturday we did some grocery shopping, which means we rode the horse at King Soopers.  Brooke started doing something that I started to call "fancy riding."  When Monica finished checking out, she came over and saw Winry taking her turn.  Winry also took part in fancy riding!  Brooke was doing the same thing, but with both hands forward.

And then to cap off the week, Winry threw up this morning... all over me... again.  Brooke hasn't gotten sick this time though, so lets hope she keeps going strong!  Winry stayed home from church with Monica today and I took Brooke with me.  Winry's also doing a good job of staying (mostly) happy through a rough time!

Well, I think that's all I've got for this week.  Let's hope for a full week of health ahead!  Have a great week!
