Alright, lets finish up Easter! Winry got a planting kit in her Easter basket this year. She planted a few different flowers in there and has been diligently watering them every day! Two of them have sprouted already! One's just come above ground, and the other is around a half inch tall. She's loving it and loves to look at it through her magnifying glass.
We dyed eggs in the afternoon, and we had a dinosaur kit to decorate them! Here's Brooke's egg.
And here's Winry's egg.
I gave my egg some scratches to look tough.
And, well... Grayson's egg didn't dry before his nap, so it didn't quite get put together.
Brooke got a skip-it like thing in her Easter basket. She's played with it quite a bit, and she's starting to get better at it, though it does still fly off her foot sometimes.
One day when Monica picked the kids up from school and as they were walking back to the car some of their friends were right there with them, so they all held hands and walked together.
Jelly has been sleeping in Grayson's room before bedtime lately. She's been sleeping all the way back in the corner against the wall, and then once Grayson is asleep she'll come out and meow at the door. I don't know if Grayson's noticed her yet. He's not usually one to leave her alone, though he has been better as of late.
The girls had a wasp in their room at bedtime. I believe it was Monday that Brooke saw a wasp when she was going to bed, but she came out and we lost it. She slept in our room, and I moved Winry over to our room as well just in case. We never saw it again... until Wednesday when it came back. I had a talk with Brooke on Monday about keeping an eye on a wasp unless it's flying at her. So on Wednesday she kept an eye on it and I was able to get it in a jar and outside. I don't know if wasps leave much of a smell, but Jelly seemed to notice and was checking out the jar later.
Friday was an off day for me, and Monica was going to meet some friends at a new bakery nearby. Of course I'm not going to miss that, so I headed along. It was delicious!
Grayson didn't care much for staying and chatting, so I asked him if he wanted to go to Trader Joe's next door. So we went and walked around there a bit. He saw the bananas and got really excited, so I let him pick out a few. He put the sticker on my hand and kept them up in the seat next to him.
On Friday night Monica and I went to Anastasia. We had a lot of fun. They performers were great, but the story felt a little lacking. Still a fun night, just not my favorite musical I've been too. It was downtown, and apparently there were a lot of other things going on because the parking garage was completely full. We fortunately found a lot close by to park in and still made it on time. We also had some friends that happened to be going that same night. We didn't buy tickets together, but we went to dinner with the White's before the show and talked to them a little after as well.
Here's a view from our seats in the theatre.
On Saturday Monica had a baby shower that she helped plan. It seems like it was a good time.
In the meantime I took all the kids to gymnastics. The girls had a lot of fun, and got to spin over a bar for the first time! Grayson and I were reading books, and then eventually he watched books on my phone. He really wanted to go play too, which makes sense, it all looked pretty fun. Anyway, we had a good time and the girls did great.
Brooke threw up last night... It was not so fun. I helped her get through it, and then we both stayed home from church today.
Today Monica subbed for primary and she made marshmallow houses with the sunbeams. Everyone wanted to make their own when they got home from church, so they each got a pile of toothpicks and marshmallows. Monica helped Grayson get the first few together so he knew what was going on... and then he ate all his marshmallows, pulled the final two off toothpicks and ate them too, and then asked for more. Totally understood. That kid's gonna build his house on a rock!
