Grayson found the bag of instruments again this week, and made a foray into becoming a musical maestro. It was pretty fun to watch him, for the first minute or so, but the song just kept going! He was super happy, but part of me feels like I need to go find that Grinch "noise, noise, noise" video again.
Monica took Grayson down to the new Cedar Park library. I don't remember any stories in particular from the trip, but I'm sure they had a great time because they're planning to go again this next week. If anything interesting happened Monica can drop it in here. Grayson does really love the park at the library, because it's shaped like a giant bird.
Jelly has been longing to go outside again recently, and we're finally having some harness problems. The harness we got for her has always been too big, but now the velcro isn't really holding so it opens up wide and, well, she starts slipping through. I've got a new one ordered, so hopefully she won't escape.
I'm not sure the story here, but I do like those little shells. Also, this better be from our garden, or else why did I even put it in here...
On Saturday I finally got to my Christmas present from two years ago (2023). I got a backup camera kit for my car, and I finally tried to install it. Here's the camera in the back. I had to pull open a bunch of stuff in the trunk to run wires, etc. and had to cut my brake light to splice in new wires. It was a bit involved, but everything still works back there, so it was a success.
Once I finished in the trunk, I had to run a wire all the way up to the front. I pulled out a bunch of wire to run it along with other wires, like the trunk release cable. Eventually I got it up to the front and pulled out the old stereo. The camera kit also came with a new radio that is a little android tablet that runs android auto, so not only did I get a camera, but I also got a technological upgrade! This picture is in the middle of all the swip-swappery, and you can see the baby monitor on the passenger seat. Monica ran some errands with Brooke while I was working on it, and Winry and Grayson were playing in Grayson's room so Monica brought the monitor to me so I could watch them while I kept working on things. I think if I did it again it would go a lot faster, but it took around 4-5 hours to fumble through figuring it all out for my first time. It all works now though, and it doesn't seem like I broke anything on my car!
Speaking of those errands, one of them was taking Brooke to Walmart to get this stingray stuffed animal. They had these out when we went to get Winry's bike, and Brooke really wanted to get one with her own money, and Monica told her she should wait a seek and see if she was still really wanting it and make sure it wasn't just a quick impulse thing. She still really wanted it.
That's everything for now. We've got a holiday weekend, and potential of snow on Tuesday, so we're looking forward to an excellent next week.
