Well, it happened again this year... I got older. It was my birthday Sunday, which is also typically blog post day, but we were having too much fun so the blog got pushed back a day. We had a great time yesterday, or at least I did, celebrating my birthday! I've got more pictures, so I'll probably wait to talk about things until I'm going through those, but Monica made me a Rocket League cake! I LOVE it! So did Grayson, we somehow got the half second he wasn't smiling! Do you believe that!?
Monday morning was oatmeal for breakfast, so we put it in the Instant Pot the night before so that it would be ready when we woke up. However, the Instant Pot was left on vent, so it never pressurized. Oatmeal water stuff had sprayed all over everything on the counter within at least a foot radius, and possibly it eventually pressurized because that's a lot of oatmeal stuck in the vent! It ended up being cooked, though it did not have near as much liquid in it as usual, so we had to add milk to thin things out a bit.
Monday night while we were getting ready for bed, Brooke was laying on the floor next to Grayson and he kicked her right in the arm pit and tickled her!! It was pretty funny, until Brooke's over reacting made Grayson start to cry.
There were some colder days this week, but the weather was still good which meant we still tried to get outside. Here's Grayson with some warmer layers on before we headed out for a walk.
The girls still super love to go play with the neighbors. They go outside to see if anyone is playing multiple times a day. I've tried explaining that everyone usually isn't out there until after school, but that still hasn't helped with checking just in case at 10 am. I got a video of Brooke on the neighbors' swing this past week.
And here's Winry driving a car. She really loves this. She'd go back and forth on the sidewalk and stop to get gas and everything.
Jelly has been joining me in the office for a nap basically every day now. I love when she comes and joins me. She's also curled up in my lap almost every day since we came back from Utah over a month ago. I think she missed us a lot while we were gone, and it still hasn't warn off. In my opinion it's made us much closer.
Here's a picture of Brooke and Winry out with Aurelia from next door. No clue if that spelling is right, maybe Monica will know. That was spell check's best guess.
One night Winry wanted to wear a night gown, but also wanted socks that went up her whole legs. Neither she nor Brooke had socks long enough. Luckily for her, we still have Monica's super tall socks from her mission!
Our tulips are in full bloom this week. They're looking great! It's also made me notice how many other houses in the neighborhood have tulips when we go for walks.
Grayson got a little messy with blueberries this past week. He eventually rubbed his mouth, and then the rest of his face, resulting in berries very close to his eye. I'd guess it never got in his eye, because he didn't start crying. That or blueberry feels good in the eye.
On Saturday Monica secretly arranged for me to go golfing, and through a series of events it turned into heading to a driving range. That's probably not the worst place to start as it's been a LONG time since I went golfing, but I had a LOT of fun, and I'm definitely going to hit the links this summer!
Sunday was my birthday. I picked Cap'n Crunch for my birthday breakfast... and then fasted through it. But the girls enjoyed it. We opened presents at breakfast time, and used the girls' excitement to get them ready for church real early.
Winry gave me some fun dress socks. There are flamingos, and bananas, and pineapples, and some where it looks like a fish or alligator or shark is eating your foot!
Grayson gave me a switch game, and spent time rushing around on his car in an awful hurry. Someone needs to tell this kid not to work on Sunday!! He seemed to enjoy the car, but definitely needed close supervision.
Brooke gave me New Pokemon Snap for my birthday, which was the golden fruit everyone hurried to get ready for. It's a game where you take pictures of pokemon, and the girls have been LOVING it! So have Monica and I for that matter.
Monica gave me a raspberry pi, which is basically a little computer. I'm planning to get it set up and put it in the van as an "all in one" entertainment solution for the back seats. Here's Monica and I after dinner, but before cake. For dinner we had chicken parmesan, and it was delicious! In fact, we're having the leftovers tonight, and we're about to eat, so I need to go!
