Last Sunday we went out to play in the snow since it was still around. We had a lot of fun and were out there for about an hour. It was pretty great snow weather. I'm guessing it was just below freezing, so it really didn't feel too cold. We built our first snowman of the year, which is a real shame because we've had some really big snow storms and really good packing snow this year already.
In addition to loops around the back yard we also sledded down our biggest hill. The girls loved it, and even went just the two of them several times.
The next morning Brooke worked on her beat boxing while we were playing her new cupcake game! Everyone was a winner! Jelly is still learning to get along with Dobby, our robot vacuum. She likes to spy on it from around corners while it is running. Maybe someday they'll be best friends.
On Tuesday Brooke ready stories for Winry on the couch. It was very cute!
Tuesday was new years eve, and we stayed up till midnight. Brooke got to stay up a little late and had a lot of fun with mom and dad. After she went to bed we played Splendor, a board game I got for Christmas, until midnight. I'm so proud of us for staying up all the way till midnight!
The next morning we got out noise makers for the kids at breakfast! They had a lot of fun with them, and we also made donuts for breakfast!! What a way to start the new year!
Brooke and I wore our "matching" Pokemon shirts too! If we were Team Rocket, we'd be ready to blast off!
We headed over to Boondocks to go bowling as soon as it opened. The girls were very excited. I don't think Winry really remembers what bowling is yet, but once we got started she was in love again! Brooke even threw the ball all by herself a couple times, which was a first.
Winry used the metal ramp thing, and had a wonderful time! Winry did pretty well with turns and was typically willing to move back and let someone else go.
And who do you think won?! BROOKE!! Guess I'm better with the kids metal ball roller thing than I am throwing the ball!! Everyone had a good time too, so we were all at least that kind of winner.
I had to head back to work on Thursday, and it was nice to have a short week to get back into the flow of things. Everyone else headed to the library for play group! They had a fun time, and I feel like it's been a really long time since we've been to the library because there haven't been library books around for a while. There was also a cut out for pictures there!
On Friday we went to the rec center to go swimming, and they had a blow up snow man! So many last minute Christmas/winter photo opportunities. I know winter won't be gone for a while, but do you really think they decorated because it might snow? I didn't think so either.
On Saturday we took out our Christmas tree. It stopped absorbing water some time ago and was rather dry. Like... really dry. It might have left a rather large mess. I think this is the worst we've ever had from a tree...
This morning Brooke and Monica made brunch from Brooke's new princess cook book! They made Tangled braided biscuits with ham and cheese! They were great, and Brooke had a wonderful time cooking with Monica! Wins all around.
My nursery class is BIG this year! Fortunately everyone was good today. They may have just been subdued because we were marching into nap time, but whatever it was, they were great! Winry was even in there with me!
I hope everyone has had a good start to the year so far. Have a wonderful week!
