Well hello! This past week on Friday, Brooke had a fun run at her school! All the kids go out at a certain time with their class and run laps around the school. There are people along the way with bottles full of chalk stuff that spray colors on the kids as they run by. Brooke's shirt is slightly colored. It's a pretty fun activity for the school. We got to come to school and watch Brooke run her laps. I guess each class counts the laps run, and the school competes for which class ran the most laps. No news yet on if Brooke's class won ;) (just as a note, the school goes up to 8th grade).
Grayson keeps getting more mobile, and keeps looking for new toys. He still refuses to stick anything but his thumb in his mouth, which is a blessing and a curse. But as for new toys, well... we're starting to leave more and more doors closed. The first great toy in the bathroom was the girls potty seat... yuck... but now it's the toilet paper!
Winry has still been wishing for preschool. Fingers crossed, but we think she'll be starting a class tomorrow!! She doesn't know yet just in case it gets cancelled again. Anyway, in the mean time Winry has been teaching her own preschool to... preschool activity supplies... At least she's made some new friends! :)
Fall is coming, and the weather has been nice around here lately. That means spending time outside! One night the whole family headed to the backyard to hang out. Monica was probably trying to get a video of Grayson standing, but you can definitely see me pushing the swing in the back.
Jelly found a new sleeping spot in the girls stuffed animal pile. Honestly, I'm surprised this didn't happen earlier.
The girls love doing Pokemon Smile, a tooth brushing game. In addition you can take a picture to decorate with Pokemon stickers. It's a really big hit, and I also use getting to take a picture as a reward for being good at getting ready for bed. Brooke likes putting the pokemon on her shoulders, or cuddling with her.
Winry likes to have Squirtle spray water in her eye. Every night, same sticker. After a few days she did find a new favorite, which is Charmander shooting fire into her eye... At least she's excited about brushing teeth.
As mentioned, Friday was Brooke's fun run. It was a lot of fun to go watch. We even saw Emy, who we know from church, but is in a different kindergarten class, running laps as well. I think Brooke ran 5 laps in total, and I'm pretty sure it's at least a quarter mile around the school, so she ran pretty far! She stopped to take a break a time or two as well.
After, the class headed around to the back of the school to watch a dunk tank and eat otter pops. I don't know who was in the dunk tank, maybe the principal... Anyway, it was fun to watch for a few minutes before we took off, and Brooke had a lot of fun.
On our way out we saw Polaris, and had to stop and get a picture. It's too bad Brooke was at school/with her class so she missed our picture. Polaris did run a few laps around the school, and Brooke saw him while he was out and about, so she got to say hi as well.
Grayson has a new favorite toy, which is a bottle of glue... He loves to hold it and smash it on things. I don't know where this started, probably from a craft project, but the glue has been a main stay upstairs for most of the week.
On Saturday I was instructed it was time to get our bathroom closet space updated. I was able to get my morning run in and a trip to Home Depot before the morning session of conference. Then we cleaned out the garage so I had a place to work, which involved running a bunch of errands, between sessions. I was able to get all the boards cut and nailed up just in time before bed, and had dinner after all the kids were asleep. I definitely didn't finish in time for the evening conference session, which Monica and I both had thought was done away with for some reason, so we totally missed the evening session... Oops, guess I know something I'm doing for scripture study this next week. However, that extra 30-40 minutes was just enough time to finish up these shelves! Hooray!
