Rain! Yay! We got rain this past week. And we got some pretty big storms too! I was woken up at 4:30 in the morning by thunder, and eventually went to check out the rain. It was pretty fun to watch the rain and lightning.
I don't remember if we put pictures up of the guest room now that we finished working on it. We're ready for visitors now! Come see us!
Grayson's been asking Monica to go to the children's museum, and they got to go this past week. He got to pick everything they did and had an amazing day. Monica said the balls are fun, but the problem is when there are other kids there, because Grayson just smacks the balls around into the other kids.
Our lizard friend has been chilling outside my office window, and Jelly's been loving it... Err... maybe not loving it, but she's been very interested in following it around. I'm guessing Jelly wouldn't mind a little less glass...
Monica finished painting the mermaid scales in Winry's room! It looks amazing! Winry's been loving it as well. The stencil was having a pretty hard go of it by the end, but Monica was able to get it all done.
Speaking of that big storm, when Monica was walking the girls to school the next morning they saw this tree, that seems a little... struck by lightning.
Monica... came home from something or other or something like that... anyway, when she walked in no one was home, but we had left several blankets on the couch... The kids thought this was hilarious.
I started working on the office for painting, etc. We're going to put shelves along one wall, but there was a light switch and outlet just in bad spots, so I cut some holes and flipped them to the opposite sides of the stud this past week. The outlet was all gray in the background, so it doesn't look as funny or striking as the light switch did.
Grayson asked Monica if she'd help him make a temple with the magna-tiles on Friday. They made quite the impressive structure together. I think this is probably the neatest thing I've ever seen made from magna-tiles before, so bravo!
Speaking of bravo, Monica found a choir out here and practiced for and went to tryouts on Thursday, and she got in! Yay! So that's exciting for her that she'll get to be back into that again. It does go until later out here, I think that's the only down side.
Yesterday we actually remembered to do nailed it for my family call. This week was to make something with a peach, like Princess Peach. Here's the princess peach that Brooke made.
And here's Winry's. Also, she had just finished doing her hair right before she came down to make it.
I made peach fruit leather, and 3d printed a cookie cutter to stamp it. It didn't quite turn out how I'd hoped, but it still worked. The fruit leather got thinner and stiffer faster than I thought, so I didn't get to stamp it at the right time, but it still looks nice.
Grayson was crying this morning so I ran in to check on him, and he had had a HUGE blow out and threw up a little. I think the throw up was incidental, because he ate a huge breakfast and has seemed fine since. He has still had diarrhea, but has seemed pretty much fine today. That's pretty Grayson over the last little bit that every time he's sick he runs around the house and plays like nothing is wrong outside of any specifically sick moments. Anyway, he didn't go to church and we went on a walk this morning. We saw this plant that was growing through the fence that I liked.
