This next picture is Monica's, and to me it looks like Winry got VERY tired! However, I really can't be sure. Sometimes the girls just play sleep. As an example, there have been several mornings this past week where once both Brooke and Winry are up, Brooke sits next to Winry on the couch and reads her "bed time stories" and then they pretend to be asleep for 10 seconds before it's time to get up! So maybe Monica will shed some light on what is happening when she reads through this, but for now I'm assuming that Winry is very tired.
The girls have started watching and enjoying Dora recently. I think this really came about because we got a Dora book with the story reader we got form Salvation Army a few years ago. Anyway, they really enjoy the show, and Brooke is at the prime age to really try hard to interact with Dora! Occasionally Winry believes that she is Swiper. However, the real meaning behind this picture is that the girls were watching Dora, and this yellow troll jumped out from under the bridge and Winry said "That looks like Dad!"
As Winry and Brooke continue to play together I feel like Winry is learning a ton from Brooke. In fact, in this video, it sounds like Winry counts to 22! That's pretty crazy!
I made a few outings to various grocery stores over the past week. One such trip took me to Costco where I found out that they make... cheese tortillas? I don't know if Parmesan is the cheese I'd pick... but there it is! This trip was also before the craziness.
This trip was not... I also went to King Soopers one day at 11:30 on a Thursday, and this was the line to check out! I had no clue what was going on, but I figured I didn't hear something about COVID-19. I believe this was the day after it was declared a pandemic by the WHO. Well, cue the world ending again I guess. I was just at the store trying to get some juice for Monica.
Here's Jelly, trying to blend in and take a spot at our table... I didn't fall for it and give her a plate of food, fortunately! Just look at her trying to be so sneaky though! She was probably reaching up and pawing at things too. Earlier in the day it had been really windy, and Monica said Jelly sat by the back door watching leaves blow around for two and a half hours! What a day!
Also, on Friday the girls enjoyed some serious dance time. In fact, the "Sleeping Bunnies" video from before was part of this dance party. There were also some really great dance moves thrown out for "Away Away" from Moana. As I watch that, I see Brooke doing things from dance class, from yoga, and just from her natural dance repertoire.
On Saturday Brooke and I headed out to do our weekly grocery shopping. I figure we might as well try to do our normal grocery shopping every week, and then if we really struggle finding anything we can go to our food storage at that time. We were able to find everything we needed except for potatoes, though it was obvious that Thursday and Friday had been crazy days at the stores. While we were going around King Soopers, Brooke noticed this apple with a googly eye on it! We also saw a smashed can that had eyes on it as well, but I didn't take a picture of that. I think the crazy rush of shopping has died down, at least until some new announcement comes out, because things weren't as terrible as I feared they would be on Saturday. So at least we might be able to return to semi-normalcy soon!
Saturday was the last day of my current running training block. I had a 12 mile run scheduled, but figured I'd just stretch it a little farther and go 13.1 to do a half marathon. I finished in 1:42:46, which is the fastest I've ever run a half! I feel like my training has been going really well lately, and I think it shows in my training runs. I really could have run faster had I wanted to, but I was trying to take it easy throughout the run! I'll now enjoy a well deserved week off before starting up my Ragnar training block.
Sorry I don't have more for this week. In all honesty, we had a lot of fun and spent a bunch of time together as a family. I think with my schedule being so crazy I just haven't reached for a camera as much as usual. Anyway, I hope everyone has a fantastic week ahead. Remember to wash your hands often (and sing the ABC's while using soap!), and stay healthy and safe!
