I can't believe it, but in two days Brooke will be 5!!! What!?! I can't believe she's getting so big! This past Saturday we had a birthday party for her with a couple of her friends who are also in her dance class. We figured if they see each other every Monday it was a safe group to be with. Anyway, the weather was supposed to be nice initially, but as we got close to the day of, things changed, and we ended up getting winded out. Brooke still had a great time and loved seeing her friend! Thanks everyone who came! I'll talk more about the party later.
Before we keep going, I'm going to add in a little disclaimer that initially was at the end, but I feel is a better explanation at the start, so you understand what's going on: Well, It's really late for me (11 pm), especially right now. I've been falling in and out of sleep while writing this, so... sorry if some of the sentences are extra bad. I definitely rewrote some of them several times, and would wake up and read the sentence I was typing and have no clue where I was trying to go with the sentence and delete it and restart. I also fell asleep pushing keys and woke up to long strings of a single letter...I'm going to publish this to get it out today (I like them to publish on Sundays), but I'll have Monica proof read it tomorrow and make sure it all looks good.
So if you read anything that doesn't make sense...now you know why! Enjoy!
Last Sunday I was burping Grayson, and Brooke needed a burp cloth so she could burp Tiana. Here we are, burping twins.
Don't worry. Winry isn't one to be left out, so she got a bear and joined in as well. So long as you have a burp cloth on your shoulder then you're burping a baby, right?
Jelly and Grayson got their cuddle time this past week. Jelly didn't condone this, instead I set Grayson on her. Jelly was a champ about it, and while she looked away and was decently wide eyed she never did anything to Grayson. I knew she didn't want to be there, so I only left Grayson long enough for a picture.
Brooke, Winry and I headed to the backyard to play soccer this past week. We took out Brooke's Unicorn soccer ball, and used some other little balls to mark the goals. Both the girls loved it! We're still working on not using hands, but I was a lenient referee and didn't call any hand balls.
Sunday night right before we came in for dinner, we could see a bright spot in the sky. I looked up a sky map to see what it was, and it was Saturn! We decided to get out the telescope. It was our first time using it, and it didn't go great, but it was still fun! Here's some stars we saw.
Brooke continues to love to hold Grayson! Here they are bonding on the couch.
Monica had a decent number of fun pictures of Grayson from the past week. They're probably mostly him sleeping, but I really liked this one!
Winry decided she just had to have this comb this past week. As most people would do, she decided to stow it away between her toes... sigh.
One night I went in to check on the girls and Brooke pointed out that Winry was sleeping and had her hand out on her water.
Here's a picture of Winry. She just looked really cute in her outfit, not to mention that great look on her face.
On Saturday, Brooke dressed as a Unicorn, as her birthday with her friends was going to be there. (wait what?)
I brought our little pop up tent as a random though (...?). I am so glad I did as it was VERY windy outside last Saturday. The girls basically wanted to get in the tent immediately and stayed in there basically the whole time. We had lunch in there, and then presents and everyone headed home. We didn't end up getting to any of our games and activities because the wind was so strong. Brooke was still SOOO happy about her party and loved it all.
When we got home, Brooke and Winry decorated their cupcakes. Then Brooke and Monica took the cupcakes and other activities around to Brooke's friends at their houses so they could do them too.
Brooke put candles in her cupcake and we sang happy birthday to her!
And here's Winry... doing this face!
Today we gave Grayson a bath for church. Here he is after, all snug in his lion towel! He didn't cry at all the whole time! Maybe he was just happy to not be stinky anymore. I'm sure he was very glad to get the spit up out of his hair at a minimum though!
Here's Jelly today. She got a drink out of the sink, and she put her head all the way under. She let the water run like all the way around her head before drinking it up.
Here's Grayson's clothing for today. He was all ready for church and looked great. He made it about half way through the day and had a blow out and transitioned into jammies.
Hope you got more sleep than us this week, have a great week!
