Whoa!! The school year is over! Oh my. The girls had a wonderful time this school year, and they're both excited for summer vacation, and going to miss school.
Sunday night I headed out to Austin. Our home inspection was Monday, and it was highly recommended we be there for it. I got on the train to my terminal, and when we got to the first stop the train doors opened... but the outer doors didn't... Good thing I didn't need to get out right here!
Back at home, Monica and Grayson were being cute together! I don't think there's more story here... :)
When we landed in Austin... well... no one was there to drive the gate over. I ended up on the second row, so I had a good view when they finally drove it over.
I was just in the hotel for the night, and I needed a place to work, so I... well... headed into work! I tried out the train as I think that's the way I'll want to head in so I don't have to drive through traffic. It was actually a really great trip in. I liked the train. I also caught the train back out to head up for the inspection, and right as I was getting off the train I got a call!... Oops, the inspection was scheduled wrong... and it was Tuesday instead... so I flew out for nothing. I got to go see the house again at least, and I took a marco polo walking through the house so we could remember how things were.
Back at home Grayson was reading bedtime stories. He especially loves Oh the Places You'll Go right now! And I LOVE the way he reads it. He's really intense, and he points whenever he says you and such! So funny.
Brooke had field day on Wednesday. It's a day where they play various games and have competitions, etc. Monica and the other kids got to come and watch for part of the day as well. I don't think Brooke won any medals this year, but that's okay. She still had a lot of fun playing with her friends.
At the end of the school day on Thursday, Winry had a preschool promotion thing. It was so fun to see! The kids all sang some songs to us, and it was rough when they'd talk about seeing everyone again next year knowing we're moving soon...
Everyone got an award, and Winry got one for being a great helper! I'm glad she was great at school and was always willing to help everyone.
They had a little photo booth thing too, and I really liked this picture of Winry.
Here's a picture of Brooke when Monica picked her up from her last day of school! All done with 1st grade! Crazy!
Winry came to pick up Brooke and got a picture at the preschool classroom door!
When the kids got back it was time for us to get out of the house! Our house went on the market this weekend, and we said showings could start Friday at noon, so we had to be out by then (school ended early on the last day). We headed over to Paris Baguette... or whatever it's real name is if that's not right, and had lunch there. It was REALLY good! I got a breakfast sandwich, the girls got little pizzas, Monica got a sandwich, and Grayson got a donut. It was the only thing he'd pick. Lucky kid.
We went from lunch to the airport to fly out to San Diego. Yeah, they told us to get out of town for the showing, so we did. We got to the airport a bit early, but then our flight got delayed due to a hail storm that blew over the airport, so we ended up being in the airport for quite a while. We took off after we were supposed to have already landed. This meant we had time to ride the moving walkways! But eventually we were on our way. I'll also note here that I started feeling sick Monday when I was out in Texas, but it wasn't bad. It kept getting worse and worse all week, and it basically came to a head Friday, so it was NOT my favorite trip to the airport.
Anyway, we made it to Monica's parents' condo, which was a great place to stay. When breakfast rolled around the next morning we didn't have a kids plate for Grayson to use for breakfast, and after some looking I found Tupperware! Grayson needed the biggest one, and so it was off to lunch. Grayson didn't finish, so we just threw the lid on.
On Saturday we went to the beach. As soon as we got there and laid out a blanket Grayson sat down and grabbed some Cheetos. Priorities, right? And honestly, he had some pretty good priorities here.
Everyone had a good time playing and splashing and digging, etc. We found a lot of sand dollars, so apparently it's sand dollar season. And I mean whole sand dollars. It was pretty cool. Grayson had fun filling buckets with sand and then dumping them out, and everyone else spent most of the time in the water. I had fun mostly looking for shells, and I tried to dig up some sand crabs, but they didn't seem to be out this time of year. So I guess sand dollars and sand crabs don't like each other. Also, I found some whole mussels and I'd pull them out of the sand and they'd slowly pull back into their shell. I thought it was pretty cool!
Brooke even got buried on the beach and turned into a mermaid!
I'm SUPER blanking on what we did that afternoon... maybe nothing... We were at the beach into the afternoon, but not the WHOLE day... Anyway, maybe this was at nap time, not bed time, but Grayson was sleeping in the walk in closet. He usually likes to look at books with his flash light at night, but wasn't having any of that. In fact, he shoved all his books out under the door.
Brooke came in to get us in the middle of the night, and both her ears were hurting really bad. I fought through my Nyquil and got her some Tylenol to help her out, and in the morning we went to an instacare as soon as it opened. That wasn't until 8, so we got ready for church first. She did, in fact, have a double ear infection, so we stopped at a pharmacy to get her prescription and some Motrin, which seemed to help a lot more with the pain. We met everyone at church and got there in time for the last speaker.
After church we headed back to the house and Brooke took a nap, and I took a nap, and Grayson took a nap. The healthy people (the Cammacks and Winry) went off for an adventure, and I really don't know what they did. I'm really glad I got to take a nap though. Brooke slept for quite a long time, which was good, and when everyone got back we just kinda kept it chill the rest of the day.
