Happy Birthday Monica!

Happy Birthday Monica!  On Monday Monica turned... well... it's not polite to say.  Don't count those candles either!  We had a fun day, and finished it off singing happy birthday with a peach pie and ice cream!  Monica made it, and it was great!


First thing in the morning we bombarded Monica with gifts!  The girls were coloring pictures all morning before Monica got up.  Winry also gave Monica a Yeti water bottle.


And Grayson gave Monica a new set of pans.


And Brooke gave Monica a new swimsuit!


In the morning we all headed over to the rec center to go swimming.  I had a late meeting, so I snuck away in the day.  We had a great time there.  There was a girl named Grace that came over and asked Brooke to play.  They left not too long after we arrived, and then we were the only ones there!  Guess the rec center during a school day is a great time to go swimming!  For dinner we went to Casa Mariachi and had an AMAZING time.  The food was superb as usual, the waiter was super nice and made Grayson laugh, and Grayson got to try his first lemon!  We all had a great day, and did our very best to behave and make Monica feel special!


Our garden is pretty productive lately.  At least our squash plant has been very busy.  I think we've gotten like 7 or 8 so far!


Brooke trapped Grayson in a corner with the play mat and "decorated" his head.  Grayson was not thrilled in the pictures.  I don't really know the full story, so Monica can add it if she wants, but I liked the picture.


I caught Jelly coaxing things off the table.  I think it's really funny to watch a cat act very nonchalant while pushing things on the floor.


Winry has had some very sore shoulders this past week and needed to borrow Monica's massager.  


We had a fun bath night on Wednesday and everyone got clean together.  They had a lot of fun playing together, and Grayson loves to splash in the water.


Winry brought her blanket down one morning because she was cold, and pulled her chair up next to the couch.  I found her like this.  Putting her pajamas back on might have been a good idea, but there's no suggesting that.


Yesterday I went to set up stairs at the stake center for stake conference, and on my way back home I found a Lamborghini parked in our neighborhood.  I've seen it drive by semi-often, and finally found the associated house.


I needed to run into work and move a USB cable to a different computer, and I asked the girls if they wanted to come with me.  Here they are sitting in the lobby!  While we were there I even found a pack of Swedish Fish for them to share!


I didn't get a before picture, but I weeded about 2/3rds of the garden yesterday.  Here's the end result.


Monica has started working on Halloween costumes.  Brooke is going to be Sully, and Monica's got most of the suit sewed together.  Here it is currently!


That's all the news that's fit to print.  Have a wonderful week!
