Ruby gets her ears pierced

For the week of 1/7-1/13
Ruby decided she wanted to get her ears pierced for her birthday! We did it a little early, on the 10th, because she also wanted to do spring soccer. It turned out they recommended she still not take them out by the time soccer would have started, but she wanted to pierce them anyway. I'm glad she did, because soccer is cancelled this year after all.
Funny story... we got Reid a Brio train car with this remote for his 4th birthday, so a year and a half ago. Shortly afterward, we lost the remote part. The train still had buttons on it, so it worked and was a lot of fun. We couldn't figure out for the life of us where the remote was though! I figured someone accidentally threw it away or something. So in January I started cleaning out the linen closet and reorganizing because we were changing the kids' beds and no longer needed crib sheets. Lo and behold, I found this way at the back at the bottom of the sheets we never use!! Mystery solved.
 We get so much rain in January. I took Miles to church to kick a ball around in the big mostly unused gym.
 And, of course, he wanted to run down the tunnel too.
 Helping Mommy clean the mirrors.
 Time to start with the undies! He got some for Christmas. He didn't do so well in them at first, but they sure were cute. He's doing much better now though!
 Throwing sticks and pinecones on a walk. Hah!
 Train time!
 Drawing time!
 Ruby's unpierced ears. She was mostly excited, only a little nervous.
 Getting too big for his crib. He was just constantly climbing out. But he's so sweet when he's asleep.
 Ruby made this hat at school!
 Friday after school I picked Ruby up and headed downtown to a piercing studio! She was so excited.
 She did so so so well. She was hardly scared. The guy was super great and gave her great instructions, including to not touch them at all!
 Reid and his friend Caleb. They're in the same class at school, and he lives down the street, so they spend a lot of time together!
 We got Ruby's new mattress in the mail! We got her a full size bed so Miles could have her twin. The neighbor kids were all over playing in the yard, and they all wanted to come in to see the mattress be opened. Hah!
 Ruby had to soak her ears in salt water twice a day, and she did really good with it! They never got red or crusty at all, and they've healed really well now.
 Reid set up a picnic for Baby Pluto.
 They like to play that these pool noodles are leaf blowers! Haha
 Playing on the new mattress. It was supposed to sit for 48 hours before use. 
 Reid got all of the banana bread ready for everyone.
 He shoved a macaroni noodle up his nose!!!! Thankfully it came right out. This kid...
 Last nap in his crib!
 We changed the beds all around on Saturday. He was so excited.
 And Ruby loves her new big bed!
 Frances came over to play for a little bit on Sunday!
 Concentration...
 Fran also came over on Monday for a bit too! She and Miles get along so well. I got some play ideas from MOPs, so we did pipe cleaners in this colander for a while.
 And they played horses.
 And then played with shaving cream and food coloring inside ziplocks.
 He was trying to change his diaper. Hah!
Then we did a shaving cream cloud experiment when the big kids got home! So fun.
