Settling In

Well, we're finally back at home with nothing on the horizon.  Time to settle in.  Jelly's definitely hunkering down and finding her place!  I feel like she's still testing out the house for potential places to lay, because we find her all over the place just laying there.  Sink?  It's a new sink, maybe it's a really comfy sink.

I also got Jelly a cat tower.  She spent a bit on there right after I built it, and slept in there the next day while I was working.  It's in the office now.

Monday we got groceries, which included many ice cream flavors.  We're still trying HEB out, and we heard their ice cream was really good.  It IS!  Some of them were just good flavors, but some of them were GREAT flavors!  They had a honey sopapilla flavor that might have taken the cake, but the grasshopper was also terrific.

Brooke was able to get into a dance camp on Monday-Wednesday in the morning.  While she was there Monica took Winry and Grayson to the Cedar Park library.  It seems like they had a pretty good time there.  They had some shape pattern things that Winry had a lot of fun playing with!  I think I heard that there were mats to match the patterns on, and Grayson really liked putting the shapes on there too.

I still continue to see a bunch of lizards outside, and I love it.  This little guy was hanging out in our garage when I took the garbage out.  On Saturday I was unpacking and organizing the garage and I saw a really long one in the front, and a really fat on out by our shed.  I never get close to them though, because they all run away so fast.

Everyone walked to the pool this past week.  This must have been Friday, because I was home when they left.  From what I gather the walk wasn't all that fun, I think in part because Grayson quickly decided he didn't want to ride in the wagon and then everyone just fought.  But they made it, and had fun swimming.

Friday night Monica had a sleepover with Brooke in her new bed!  I did catch them sneaking downstairs for some ice cream, and it looks like they had fun playing games.  I reminded them a couple times not to stay up too late, but I doubt they listened!

We had a smoothie this morning, and Winry's smoothie turned amazingly into lip stick!

Monica let the girls pick days where they picked all the food and helped to cook it, and today is Winry's.  This morning they made that smoothie and muffins, and for lunch we had little pizzas!

Not terribly much to report on this week.  I did head into the office Tue-Thurs this past week, and things went well there.  I've been taking the train in, which is nice because I work on the train, so then my travel time becomes work time, which is nice.  The walk from the train station is about a mile, and in the afternoon I grab a random scooter to ride back.  I've ordered a scooter, and am really excited for it to come.  I've had a lot of fun riding them back to the train from work.  Well, I think that's about all the update I have from this week.
