Funny things the monkey said

If you know the monkey, you know she likes to dance and sing. A lot. One day while we were waiting for chris to come home we watched Trolls the movie which has a lot of singing. What better time to practice a new routine for dad?
Monkey: mom, first watch my practice routine.
Me: yep, love it.
Monkey: okay, now it’s time to watch my show off
Me: your show off?
Monkey: well I already practiced so now I can show off
Me: makes sense

I have many complaints about our house. I’m trying to work on that. One thing that drives me crazy is the sink in the main floor bathroom. Pedastool sink with zero counterspace, so the monkey’s toothbrush and toothpaste often fall into the sink. And to boot, the medicine cabinet is also weirdly small so...anyway, I digress. So, I bought a thing to hang on the wall to hold said toothbrush and toothpaste.
On the way into taking a bath I hear the monkey: see what mom put up?
Chris: ohhh...I see it
Monkey: yeah, it’s a “hold that”
Chris: .............
Monkey: because it’s only there to HOLD THAT
Chris: makes sense

Making some English muffin pizzas

Monkey: I’ll take care of this. I’m kind of an expert

Only a few hot days left to take advantage of...well maybe. Who knows anymore

so we drove on down to the boardwalk this weekend to enjoy the nice weather. What did the monkey want to do? Spend most of the time indoors at the aquarium and arcade. Though to be fair, if we were really prepared and brought bathing suits, she would have immediately jumped in the ocean.

And after our first official (half) day

We have already had a holiday. Cold, rainy day...so naturally we played a lot inside.  The monkey loves finding my reading glasses...

First official (half) day starts tomorrow!

we lived through orientation today. Surprise surprise, once she sat down and got some crayons in her hand I couldn’t get her out the door.

Celebrating our last real day of freedom

With some chocolate cupcakes. We head to orientation on Wednesday then Thursday she takes the bus to school all by herself. Yikes!

Another pic of the basement

I don’t think we even had a “before”pic because it was such a gross bathroom. The washer and dryer were stacked on the left side. There was a stall shower. The toilet was raised on a little pedalstool for some weird reason and the sink was about 12 inches wide. Also it was gross. Did I mention that?  Anyway, this is another Betsy redo. It’s sooooo nice now. We moved the washer dryer to a different part of the basement and the shower is a walk-in but nice and big now. So pretty I think...
