February 20 - 26 2023

 This week I took Mary to reading time at the Sparks library and I took her to the toddler one even though she's a little younger than they suggest. It was a lot more successful than taking her to baby time. She was shy but loved interacting with the activities. I got another mom's number while we were there, and she told me about the children's museum in Reno and how they do a special day for kids 5 and under on Wednesdays. 

So, the next day I took Mary to the museum and we got a membership and checked it out. Mary was shy and nervous for the first little while but then she started to interact with the activities and other children. I didn't see the mom I met at the library there, but I chatted with a few women who had kids around Mary's age. Paul came home early that day because of the snow. I was glad he didn't get caught in the bad weather. 

 Thursday through Sunday were low-key because I got a bad cold. I had a lot of congestion and a chest cough but I'm feeling better now. Paul was able to come home early on Friday, again due to the snow, and that made for an early weekend. I was especially happy because I was feeling pretty tired and loved having him home to help with Mary. He worked for a couple of hours on Saturday and Mary and I talked on FaceTime with Mom and Dad. Mary showed off her waving skills and blew them lots of kisses. She has a new molar on her top right and has had some teething pain this week as well as a cough. She now has 9 teeth! She has been drinking a lot of milk and is growing so tall.

Monday I got up and pumped first thing. Paul was feeling like he wanted to go out and do something so we got ready and drove to Fallon to eat breakfast at the Wild Horse Cafe (we got takeout, of course). Mary was sad the whole drive down then Paul was sad because they soaked his whole breakfast in gravy. Everyone was upset there for a minute but we all calmed down and ate breakfast in the Fallon Walmart parking lot. Paul went in to see if they had egg whites, but they did not have them. We drove home and played outside for a bit. After I put Katie down for a nap I pumped again and Mary watched Snow White. She wasn't too scared of it, which surprised me. I cleaned up then Katie was up again. We got some Papa Murphy's pizza for dinner then watched Cinderella, which Mary loved! We ended up watching the three Cinderella movies multiple times throughout the week. She also loves the Three Caballeros with Donald Duck. I taught violin that night then pumped before putting Ma...

Monday we all slept in. When we all were awake we played in Mary's room then made breakfast. I put Katie down for a nap then pumped. Once Katie got up we drove to Fallon and got Little Caesars pizza. It was good but my tooth is still sore from getting a filling last week. We went to the park and played for an hour before heading back home. We went to Walmart for some fig newtons and chocolate milk. I tried to put Katie down for a nap but it didn't take. I pumped then cleaned up a bit. Paul made scones and I used up the rest of our honey and made honey butter. Katie went down for a nap then. We watched The Incredibles then Katie woke up. Paul fed her while I taught violin. I brushed Mary's teeth after the lesson then put Katie to bed and Paul put Mary to bed. I pumped again before going to sleep. Tuesday marked our 8 year anniversary of the day we got engaged. Paul went to work at the normal time. Mary woke me up and I made her waffles then pumped. Katie got ...

Monday morning Katie woke up at 7 and we saw Paul off to work. We played together until Mary got up at 7:45. I got my room cleaned then put Katie down for a nap. I had breakfast then finished writing my paragraph while Mary watched a movie. I watered the grass then cleaned the living room and kitchen before Katie woke up. I cleaned Mary's room and started the laundry then cleaned the playroom and office while the girls played with toys. I played with the girls then put Katie down for her second nap. I put a show on for Mary and I exercised and showered then watched Bluey with Mary. We made dinner together (spaghetti). Paul came home early so he could set up the squat rack that was delivered today. I made up the bed and Mary helped me. Katie woke up then. I brushed Mary's teeth while Paul practiced guitar. He put Mary to bed and I played with Katie before putting her to bed. Mary wandered in and I cuddled with her while cuddling Katie on my other side. Paul came in...
