Aloha! It's been a tropical winter so far this year, tropical in the sense that snow is like shaved ice, and I imagine you eat a lot of shaved ice in the winter in a tropical region... or in other words, it snowed all day yesterday. I just wanted to start with an aloha... Anyway, Monica's sister, Michelle, was scheduled to come visit us on Monday-Wednesday this past week. What Monica didn't know was that one of her other sisters, Megan, snuck into Michelle's luggage and came along! For her birthday no less!! It was a pretty short trip all things told, but it was a lot of fun! There was time for Unicorn Jr. Monopoly, and going to the park, and a dance party, and karaoke. I'm sure I'm missing other things, but the point is that we crammed a lot into a little bit of time.
As mentioned, everyone headed to the park on Tuesday. I'm sure the girls loved each having their own personal pusher on the swings.
Tuesday night we did karaoke together. Brooke and Winry were really excited to get out their microphones and sing some songs from Frozen! Are there even other songs to sing? If you're a parent of a small child (may need to be a girl, but I'm not sure of that) then no, no there is nothing else. But that's okay, because it's just so fun to watch the girls sing!
I took Brooke to the dentist on Wednesday. She said one of her teeth was hurting, and so we just grabbed the first appointment we could. She had a cavity (which I could tell when she showed me where it hurt...) and the dentist recommended going to a pediatric dentist. He said she might even need a root canal. Fortunately, the pediatric dentist didn't think it was quite that bad.
Monica was feeding Grayson that night, and Winry came in with her baby doll, plopped down on the floor and proceeded to feed her.
The whole house dressed in BYU clothes to cheer for our inevitable win over Gonzaga! Then the game started, and it seems like Gonzaga is VERY deserving of that number 1 ranking they're carrying right now... We tried Grayson, we tried...
Brooke was able to get in to the pediatric dentist on Thursday. They wanted to take a look before she came in to get her tooth fixed. They said she needs a crown, and Brooke is super excited to have a silver tooth! It is a baby tooth, but it's a molar, so it'll be around for another 5 years or so, so we're gonna get it fixed. She'll head in next Thursday, and hopefully it's all as fun as she thinks it'll be. She's very excited to get to watch a movie and all of that. I really do hope it turns out a good experience for her. I'd hate for this to cause her to start to fear or hate the dentist, because up till now she LOVES going.
Winry got some matching pajamas with her baby doll. Monica got them for her this past week.
Monica also found some kids masks on clearance, and masks are so cool in our house right now! "How cool?" you may be thinking to yourself. Cool enough that Winry will finally wear one, and cool enough that Brooke made one for one of her stuffed animals this past week!
On Saturday morning Winry told me she wanted to play her version of Jr. Monopoly with me. It was really cute. Our playing pieces were a giraffe head Easter egg and a container of silly putty. We'd roll a slap bracelet on our turn, and Winry would decipher how many spaces we got to move. Frequently we rolled 1's which meant we had to go to jail!! We'd progress around one of the couch cushions, and the first one to make a full loop won! It was very hard to pass though, and I kept rolling 5's and couldn't catch up to Winry rolling 2's and 3's, my spaces were just that much smaller.
Saturday night was bath night, and the girls had a lot of fun. They're at the stage where they always think they won't like it and don't want to get in. Once they're finally in they say they want out as soon as they're done, and once you're done bathing them... they're too busy playing to get out. This weeks game was giving a shower to various plastic animals they have in the tub.
I think I got to hold every child while trying to get everyone down for bed, and it has rather wiped me out as well. Have a fantastic week!
