We got a nice taste of limited visibility this past week. It really wasn't that bad outside of early morning. I really liked having the fog there, and possibly a light rain, each day when I got up. I do think Monica drove the girls closer to school for the morning walk a time or two (only the days it was raining hard!), but all in all we enjoyed the misty mornings. I feel like it's been a long time since I've been in fog. It's not very common in CO or in UT, but maybe a bit more so here.
Winry got a little chicken thing that you shoot off your finger from school or something. Anyway, it's a little sticky, and often finds itself up high on the wall. And sometimes, the only way to get it down is a frisbee.
Jelly has found a new technique for drinking from the sink. It does seem easier to wrap around the faucet... though I suppose this way her paws don't get wet, but that's never seemed like a problem before.
Look at that gap! Winry lost another tooth! She was very excited about it. When I asked the next morning, she said she was able to catch a glimpse of the tooth fairy AGAIN! I think she said she didn't even fall asleep first this time.
It's not quite captured in the image as it was in real life, but when I got off the train to walk to work, the fog looked nice on the buildings. I really like when sky scrapers fade out in fog as they get higher.
So, I know it's obvious from the picture, but Grayson bit holes in his cucumbers, and then is looking through them as glasses! Lately he really likes to take bites out of the middle of things, and then often the rest ends up going on his face. Cucumbers are not the easiest to look out.
Monica and Grayson headed to the park for a play group, and the little stream was running high. Grayson was very excited and plopped right down on the side of the bridge, shoes, socks, pants and all! He didn't care, and it wasn't even a particularly warm day either. This kid really loves the water. He was also getting wood chips from the playground to dump into the stream, and Monica said he had basically no desire to play on the playground the whole time. Just play in the water.
On Saturday I took Grayson to Liam's birthday party. It was cars themed, and Grayson had a really great time. He liked playing with these inflatable tires, and I spent a lot of the party trying to throw them and get them to land around him while he was running.
There was food, and Grayson spent a lot of time eating. He formed the popular table when it was time for cupcakes.
While we were at the party, Monica, Brooke, Winry and some friends from the ward went to the high school to see Matilda. It sounds like everyone really enjoyed the show.
I made a lot of progress on the shelves in the office this week, and now I think it's mostly just figuring out some trim, etc.
Sunday afternoon I took the kids down to the Brushy Creek trail. We were in search of bridges and had a good time walking the trail and throwing sticks into the creek. We also played on the playground for a while when we made it back to the car. It was fun, and Grayson loved the bridges which was great news. It's just too bad it's a 20-25 minute drive away. Also, when we got home Winry realized she left her jacket on a table at the park, so I hopped back in the car, drove down and found it. Fortunately, it was still there.
And that's all I've got for now. Have a great week.
