Thank goodness there were no April Fool's jokes this week! Ava had a grand one planned, but I accidentally foiled her attempts. She was going to put up a perimeter wall so our Roomba, Bill, couldn't clean everywhere he was supposed to, but...poor Bill has been having battery issues, so I had restricted his use earlier this week. Ava was pretty bummed to realize that her plan wasn't placed in action. I'm pretty happy because we resolved Bill's issues and he's been successful at doing his job in the last half of the week. Yahoo for clean floors!
After Ava's baton class on Tuesday, we headed to Carbonne's, and enjoyed the kid's night festivities. G got a cute little puppy painted on his arm, and Ava had a beautiful floral mural painted on hers. It was so lovely, and unlike anything that she had asked for before. That's our girl - always looking for a way to be unique!
In addition to the pretty flowers getting us into the spring mood, I discovered that Scott had bought me some Peeps coffee creamer the last time he went grocery shopping. It's SO good. It doesn't taste like marshmallow...it's just a sweet vanilla. And no gritty residue like what's on the real Peeps. I love it!
We had family movie night on Friday, and Ava also worked on a puzzle (the evil button puzzle that we put together last summer in Grand Marais...ugh.) About halfway through the movie/puzzling, she stopped what she was doing and did her homework. It was crazy! But, I think she was happy to think that she wouldn't have to do it on Saturday morning, like she usually does. I am so proud of the way she was thinking ahead. I think it also had something to do with the fact that she wanted to have a sleepover on Saturday night, and she was showing us how responsible she is.
And yes...we did let her friend sleepover last night. It's been the quietest sleepover, ever. They got ready for bed, on their own, around 9pm...and there was absolutely no noise coming from the guestroom the entire night. I'm pretty sure they were on Roblox the whole time, but at least they were interacting in the same game. I hope they had fun?
G decided that his favorite animal, Puppy, was getting a little out of control, so he put up a barricade to keep him from advancing towards where G was playing. Funny!
Looking forward to another day, with no plans, so we can continue to get stuff done around the house!
