NSA Art Show

Hey hey! Friday was the NSA art show!  Brooke has been so excited for it all week.  I guess the artwork has been up on display, and she's been telling us about different things she wants us to see.  Her favorite seems to be a pig with tentacles, so like, Octohog.  Anyway, it was fun to go to the school and walk around and see all the projects, and we'll get to a picture of Brooke with her picture later :).

Well, now that we know moving is upon us at some point, it's been time to start getting through whatever we think we may want to do.  I've been working on various minor projects and fixes around the house, and Monica spent a good chunk of time going through all the kids clothes boxes and reorganizing them, etc.  There was a lot to go through.

Jelly, of course, was willing to help her out!

On Monday night we had a karaoke night here!... oh wait... I wasn't part of this...

On Monday night Monica has a karaoke night here with a bunch of friends.  Originally it was planned as a party for her friend Jocelyn who is moving soon.  There was a little tag-teaming of our move, in the sense that Monica told everyone about it.  Anyway, from in our room it sounded like everyone had a great time.

We've had  a few rainy days this past week.  It's been nice, I enjoy the rain!  Jelly was really worried about getting wet, so she took cover.

During dance, Monica and Grayson went to Walmart, and Grayson ended up with this box of crackers.  He has been adamant that they are HIS crackers, and wouldn't even let me try one!

Here we are at the entrance to the art show.  The theme was underwater, though not all the artwork necessarily was underwater themed.  I really love Winry's dance pose!  I think it's funny how naturally stuff like that comes to the girls when we ask them to get ready for a picture.

Here's Brooke with her artwork, an owl!

After the art show we had Texaroni for dinner!  Check those noodles out!  Monica's friend, Nicole, sent them to us.  The girls loved it, so hopefully they're more widely available in Texas because they were a hit.

Winry wanted to play with some Duplos earlier in the week, and Grayson wanted to join in and he's been obsessed ever since.  He just has a pile of Duplos in his room basically all the time.  Whenever it's nap or bed time he plays with them.  He plays with them while I read him stories and sing him songs, and then once it's lights out he grabs his flashlight and keeps going.  I wish I would have taken a picture of the monitor, but he even stacked them all into a huge tower one night.  he loves to either spread them all out and evenly build across the plates, or he loves to stack them all into a tall tower.  We even took them to church today for him to play with.  It only worked until church started, and then he did other things and was VERY loud.

And now we're all caught up!  In the moving department, we're in the middle of talking to lots of people.  We're talking with realtors and a loan officer trying to get preapproved, etc.  There's been a lot of phone calls, etc. and of course house hunting online.  No big news on anything just quite yet though.  Hope everyone's having a swell week!
