New beds and More Fun

 Adrian

He is a little picky with what he wants to eat and will avoid the foods he doesn't want and more of those end up on the floor than the foods he likes. He does love his fruits though and has tried most of the common ones now and picks fruit over other things in front of him. I think I need to be more creative though because I'm already giving him foods I know he has liked and making it a habit like I do with the girls. This week will be fun because Thanksgiving has a few unique foods he hasn't had yet that might interest him. He helped me get Chris's car to get an oil change so we are ready to visit family this weekend and he didn't like just sitting in his seat so he sat in the front with me. I also got a fun moment of him playing with Buttercup because she puts her toy down for him to throw and he holds onto it and loves that she looks at him while he has her toy.

Claire

She had a birthday party for a classmate at Wahzoo, which is a place with an arcade, rides, ropes course, bowling, laser tag, etc. There was so much to do and she was all over the place, which was a little crazy because of how many people were there. She had tons of fun, earned some prizes, and wants to go back because she wants Shay to try the bumper cars and the laser maze. It is right next to the Roaring Springs Water Park so next summer we might do a day to do it all if we have family in town. This week they also got new beds! We got the mattresses handed down and then ordered loft beds so they have little 'rooms' underneath by hanging sheets from the frame. I'm sure being organized will come with time but the desks constantly have paper, books, and toys all over them and aren't used as desks yet. But at least they will have them in the future and we can add lamps and chairs when they need them. I had a long day setting up the beds before they got home so it would be ready and did the first half during Adrian's morning nap and a little while he played in the hallway then finished at his second nap.

Shay

While Claire was at her party, Shay and Daddy went on a date! She planned three things on a list and was secretive about it because she didn't want Claire or me to know what they were doing. They went for ice cream, watched a movie, and had popcorn. I was told that she had fun controlling Daddy's time and picking the date activities because she picked Moana as the movie and he doesn't watch that often. It makes me think that in the next couple of weeks, we should go on a date to see Moana 2 in theaters with the girls! It might end up being a girl's night out because Chris wouldn't care for the movie or want to pay to see it, but the girls would think it was cool to go to the big screen. You can see her dressed up as a kitty because they still love playing with all their dress-up costumes, even in public!
