Thirsty Thursday

I need a drink! :P

Yay, tomorrow is Friday. Brad is leaving in the morning to fish a tournament at Lake Kaweah. I hope he wins some money.

It'll just be me and the girls most of the weekend. And the weather is going to be cool! Bakersfield Cool, anyway. That means in the 80's. Woo-hooo! We will have to do something fun.

Yesterday I worked in Payton's class for the first time this year. It was totally fun. Totally messy, but totally fun. Their preschools motto is if you didn't get messy, you didn't learn anything! They take it to heart too. I came home with black paint ALL OVER me, sand in my hair, and blue play-doh under my nails. Payton was so excited because the day that momma works is the day that she gets to be a line leader, soap squeezer in the bathroom, pledge leader, and ride a tricycle outside. She's the older, mature girl in the class now, instead of the youngest like last year. I was very proud when looking over their "S" pages. (S was the letter of the day.) Payton's was nice and neat and colorful....the other kids? Not so much, lol. Don't get me wrong, Payton has had lots of practice, being a returning student, but seeing that proved how much she has grown and learned in a years time.

Ellie is doing well. Yesterday was tough because I had to leave her at grandma's to go to Payton's school and she was not happy. :( It was nap time and she was worn out. Leaving her when she is that upset is the hardest thing ever. When I picked her up, though, she was all smiles. She had fun playing in the backyard with Grandma and Grandpa. She is sleeping in her big girl bed more often lately. Some nights she gets banished back to "baby jail" though, because she can't stay put. Last night I talked her into staying in bed by letting her sleep with her hula hoop. C'mon now. Her hula hoop? She was begging for it, and when I handed it over, she snuggled right up under it. Who knew a hula hoop could bring comfort? Certainly not me, lol!

We have dinner at my mom's tonight. Yippee! No cooking and dessert! Can't ask for a better night! :P

Ryan and Kloe are on my mind. xoxo
