The first day of dance finally arrived! The dance studio the girls go to does not line up with the school calendar like E&E did back in Colorado. I do think that was probably good for Winry to let her get used to school for a bit before starting dance. The classes are done a bit differently here, and both girls are actually in the same class this year. They had 2 back to back classes and had a great time dancing. Sorry Winry's on the seem of the mirrors in that video.
Brooke was having fun with the wiki sticks last Sunday, and the build of choice was glasses. She was even able to get her prescription right.
Our power here tends to shut off every week or so for a bit. I actually bought a battery backed up power strip for my computer to help with this. Well, we got a new fridge for the garage, however, it's a freezer with a fridge mode, and it does NOT remember what mode it was in. It always comes back as a freezer set to 0 degrees. This means it is a terrible place to store carbonated drinks we now know.
Several of the cans burst. We actually still have several that just bubbled out on the top and bottom, and I'm not sure what to do with them. They didn't burst, so they're safe... if they're safe to open. Anyway, that was no fun pulling everything out of the fridge and cleaning it all up. And I guess in the future we'll have to be very careful about what we choose to put in there.
We've got a friend of a friend staying with us on a med school rotation. With Monday being Memorial day, Doug and I headed off for a run. I honestly don't even know where we went. He looked for a trail around here, and we drove about 30 minutes to get there. It was a good run though, and lots of fun. Also, small world story, his last name is Wirthlin, which was my professors name in college for my Masters. Turns out, my prof. is his uncle!
We went to the pool in the morning and ordered pizza there for lunch. We even met another family that lives in our ward that moved into the neighborhood about the same time as us.
Monica started working on Winry's mermaid scale wall.
It's looking really good. It's far enough that we could move her bed back over and Winry can sleep in her room again. I think it's at least half way done, though I don't remember the exact status as I'm writing this.
On Monday I may have been a little tired when I was putting Grayson down for his nap... At least one of us took a nap. :)
Grayson suddenly got an ear infection Monday afternoon. Monica took him to an urgent care, and I ran off to pick up his prescription. He was VERY sad, and Tylenol didn't seem to work, but Ibuprofen did help, so that was good. Monica slept with him to help him be calm, and in the morning he woke up like nothing had ever been wrong. I'm glad he was feeling better quickly!
Saturday was such a day. I ran 7 miles and mowed and weed wacked the lawn. It was like 108, but I fortunately was done before it got that hot, though it was over 100 by the time I finished because I had to recharge the batter twice. I went around the house and took out all the hanging nails, other than a few we were using. It was significant, and some very odd. I think there were 8 in Grayson's closet.
Winry and Monica pulled together an amazing snack lunch. There were even pretzel bites! It was super great.
In the afternoon Doug was willing to chase the kids around for a bit so Monica and I could run to Ikea. We maybe had a few ideas of things we wanted, and ended up filling up the van. We got a bunch of shelves for the office, some for the playroom upstairs, and a new office chair. I rounded out the day with a cool 22.5k steps. I was very tired when I went to bed.
