We had a week where the weather was really bitter and we all got cabin fever staying inside! It was a Saturday and we decided to get in the car and drive up to the Columbus Temple. There were snow flurries coming down, but we packed a lunch and bundled up. The girls have both been begging to go up to the temple so we made their wish come true. We walked around the temple and looked at the pretty details. Avery was crushed that we weren't going to go inside. We did our best to explain that she has to wait until she's 12. Addison understands that now which is fun to talk about with her. Since we had driven all the way to Columbus we tried to find some things to do up there. We went to a mall that had a big indoor play place and the girls ran around. Afterwards we grabbed some dinner for the car and headed back to Dayton. At the last minute we decided to take the girls to see the movie, Peanuts. It was playing at the dollar theater and Dave was there to help wrestle the girls. I was surprised at how well Avery did this time around. Halfway through Dave went and bought a big popcorn for us all to share. It was a really nice family day and everyone went to bed early that night from all the running around!
We made a goal to read the scriptures every night even if it is just a verse. Addison likes to repeat a few verses and Avery usually starts off interested and then runs away. We are doing really well so far, but it'll probably still take 10 years to finish! Most of the time someone is hanging off the couch or jumping on Dave's back. Bless his heart he just keeps on reading!
Addison discovered that the grocery stand in the playroom has signs you can flip. She loves to set up a lemonade stand now for everyone. She does a really good job pouring and even gives Avery the special cup with a lid. Addison usually will talk Dave into being her customer as well. We've had a lot of days inside this month and we're making the most of them! My house will never be clean, but at least we're happy!
