~Day 273: My Little Monkey Buddies

 

This little monkey stayed home from school today because she was sick.  We both got drinks from Sonic this morning, too.  And yes, she has a large one.  It was cheaper than the small one.  And no, she didn't drink it all.

 

I took her to the doctor because I was concerned about her a little more than usual when she gets sick.  It turned out that it was nothing serious, unless something develops later on.  After the doctor visit, we picked up a "Monster High" movie, grabbed lunch, and she relaxed for a little while.  When the movie was over, I had her go to her own bed and she slept for nearly three hours.  Poor thing was worn out.  She was doing much better tonight. Hopefully she will be good to go in the morning and can go to school.

Another little buddy today was Cailee.  The moment she walked in the door from school, she asked me if we could go to the 'train park.'  The park has a wooden train the kids can play in.  

But the main reason she wanted to go, was not so she could go on the swings (what???).  She wanted to show me how well she could swing on the monkey bars.  She had been practicing at school.  She did really well!!  I didn't have to help her once.  When did my kids get so big?

Well, I did help her once.  Or twice.  Ok, five or six times. There is a turning wheel the kids can hang from and get spun around until they drop.  They need help getting up to it. She did this quite a few times.  Her cute little hands had callouses on the palms.  She did a lot of swinging today.  Cute monkey.

Ashton is my cleaning buddy.  He is determined to earn money so he can buy a new video game.  He cleaned the kids' bathroom today (toilet included haha) and he did a pretty good job.  Cailee even wanted to help him clean.

 He keeps asking me what else he can do.  I need to figure out more for him to do. I know this won't last long (the volunteering to help out) so I'm going to milk it for all it's worth.

Love my monkeys!!
