Sleepover, Date Night, Magic Treehouse, GG

Last Friday morning I dropped Nico off at the Grandparents Salisbury's house, him and some of the other cousins were there for another sleepover during Spring Break!

Guy and I spent the afternoon at a coffee shop and then went for a walk in downtown Boise, before picking up some Chipotle and coming home to watch a movie. We chose Around the World in 80 Days.

Then on Saturday morning Guy went with me to hang some of my henna designs up at Awakenings Coffee House.

Guy and Nico went to Lexie's birthday party that afternoon, I stayed home to get some work done and then we had pizza that night!

Nico lined his stuffed animals up on the floor in the kitchen this morning so I could feed them all breakfast. Apparently they don't like oatmeal.

Nico was very proud of himself tonight for eating everything on his plate. It's true it's easier when it's turkey burger night! Here he is eating a tater tot that has been dipped in his strawberry milkshake, Guy showed him how to do that.

He has been reading the Magic Treehouse books in order, I think there are 55 total. At first he was picking them randomly from the library but the week before Spring Break he decided to read them in order. On Sunday (I think?) Guy took Nico out to 2 different library branches to get #3 and #4. We are on Thursday right now and he has finished up to #6. We don't have any more to read but will probably pick up more on Saturday.

We are rescheduling our trip to Arlington to happen at the end of June, and we are flying! It will be a fun trip and I am looking forward to it. Nico will get to fly for the first time and I am very excited for that.

We were scheduling our garage sale for this Saturday but the weather looks pretty bad, 50 degrees and raining with thunder, so we decided to move it to the next weekend, the 15th. We were going to visit GG that day so instead, I went to see her today while Nico was in school. It was great to see where she is living now (with her sister Pat), with her room all set up and her comfy chair and couch in the living room. I was able to meet Pat for the first time, too!

That's it for this week!

Red Robin, Weather, Turkey Burgers

Saturday was the Sensory Friendly Movie - Trolls was playing. We brought Evelyn with us, they both enjoyed it! It was cute, I enjoyed it too.

Sunday after church we met the Grandparents Salisbury and two of my brothers and their families at Red Robin to celebrate Papa's birthday! Happy Birthday Papa! We love you!

Waiting in the waiting area, we took over this corner! It was great to see everyone. We were missing Jeremy and family.

Monday was a pleasant day outside, and we noticed someone riding their scooter to school. After school Nico put his helmet on and played outside on his scooter with Aadam, Sammy and Evelyn for the first time since last year before the snow came. The sidewalks were finally clear enough, and the temperature wasn't too cold. Winter is losing its grip on us!

But then Tuesday morning came, and Nico said "I want to ride my scooter to school!" So I said OK! We got his helmet on. And I said to him "Hey Nico, try wearing your regular shoes instead of your boots today, I don't think you need to wear boots anymore!" And he put on his normal shoes. So we're all ready for school and we open the door...

SNOW!

It was snowing big heavy snowflakes and there was 1/2 inch accumulation so far on the sidewalks.
"Well, Nico, put your boots back on!"

We had 2 inches accumulate that morning, until around 1 PM when it started to melt. By the time I picked Nico up from school it was all gone! Phew! Disaster averted!

On Tuesday our friend Brianna came over after Nico got home from school. She stayed for dinner and I made blender banana pancakes with strawberry topping and sausage on the side.

After school on Wednesday we took another trip to the Discovery Center. We tried out the bed of nails a few times, and watched a demonstration about a metal that contracts when you get it hot.

We've made every Thursday "Turkey Burger Day". Nico loves them.  We were going to make it on Tuesday so it could be "Turkey Tuesdays" but Brianna comes over for dinner on Tuesdays now and I'm sure she'd get tired of eating the same thing every time she came over!  

It's nice having routines. He loves Saturdays because it's "Pancake and Pizza Day"
