Yesterday, we walked with a mommy friend at Fish Lake. They have an awesome trail that is perfect for strollers. It was a nice day, a bit chilly but manageable. Ruby and her friend Jacquelyn hopped in puddles as they ran along with us. By the time we returned, Ruby was so wet. She had a good time though, so that is all that matters. We walked to the one mile marker, and then back. We tried to play at the nearby park, but it was really wet and they ended up running to some more puddles.
We went to their house afterward to dry Ruby's clothes and have lunch. Yum...grilled cheese and tomato soup. The perfect cold day meal. Ruby and Jacquelyn ran around a bit and then we headed home. It felt really good to get out again.
Later that day, we received some huge boxes from Diapers.com and Mike decided to make them into a play house for Ruby. She was really excited. It turned out really cute. Mike had fun making it for them too :)
We watched a little of the movie "Flicka" before Ruby headed to bed. She loved the horses running in it, her favorite thing right now.
Today, we woke up really early and headed over to Angie's house for our Friday workout. I have been slacking lately, so the workout was much harder since it had been so long in between. She is so awesome and I am thankful I met her.
We had a playdate scheduled with an old friend of mine from college who is also part of my mom group. We ran across eachother at church the other day and sat with eachother. She invited us to come over and visit. They live on 10 acres, we were going to spend a bit of time outside but it was really chilly today and the puddles were drying up. Ruby enjoyed dressing up in all the dress up clothes she had. I came into her room to see Ruby totally naked, she loves to strip down and thought she needed to for dress up I guess. So funny! Elsie got tons of kisses and hugs from both kiddos and had fun crawling around the house and pulling up on furniture. Ruby was in a bit of an irritable mood because she had such limited sleep. We all got up at 6 am so were pretty tired. It was really fun to visit though and they were great hosts.
I made a yummy chicken pot pie tonight...loved it! Elsie did too, surprise!!!! I mashed it up and she ate it just fine. No grimaces like usual. Ruby wanted vanilla yogurt for a treat so I gave them both some and Elsie loved this too. She loved it so much that she actually bent down and licked it off the tray and would eat it off of my fingers. She loved slapping her hands in it, but couldn't quite figure out that she could eat it off her own fingers rather than mine. These were the first food items I have seen her truly love! Yay!
She actually has been crawling up on us too and let go while holding on to me twice (yesterday and today). When Mike was leaving to go to the game store tonight, Elsie crawled all the way up onto the mini rocking chair. Such a busy body.
I have not been able to get her to bed before 9 pm the last few days. Today it was closer to 10 pm. I was putting her down at 7 pm, but all the sudden she won't fall asleep and just keeps getting up onto her knees in a playful way. I rocked her to sleep tonight. I'm a tired mama with so few hours of sleep each night, she always gets up around 6 am it seems.
