It’s a busy Saturday (minus the very relaxing, nothing-to-do morning). Andy has to go to Fulton, MO, to meet with the Westminster College Sigma Chi chapter in the afternoon. I have to take Laura to a birthday party at FlipzUSA and then she has a sleepover with her BFFET (that’s Best Friends ForEver Together) Annabelle. Then, Andy and I have a “short” quiet night with John (meaning until he goes to bed at 8 pm), after which we are off to Deja Vu for a night of comedy with friends! Fun times and busy, busy, busy!
Lunch with Daddy!
Andy surprised Laura at school today when he showed up to eat lunch with her. She was excited and they had a great time. As Laura said, “I got special Daddy time at school today!” It’s things like this that I hope she’ll remember some day.
Floor Angels…
“What? We are just making Floor Angels Mom. We aren’t doing anything wrong.” As you surely understand, you can move along… There is nothing to see here… Nevermind the silly kids on the floor making “Floor Angels.” 🙂
In His Take Home Folder
While picking up John today, I checked his take home folder just as I always do. Inside was a small stack of papers. Sifting through them, I came across “Lego Robin” that one of his teacher’s made for him. John was wearing a Lego Batman and Robin shirt yesterday and Miss Kristina drew Robin for him. John said, “Miss Kristina drawed my scary train yesterday and today Lego Robin! She’s good Mama.” Also, I discovered a little “book” the kids made and they wrote their names on the back. I am so impressed with how well John is writing his name. He is almost as good at writing his name now as Laura is at writing her name. He’s doing so well at Walnut Street Day School!
Coffee Mug
This is Andy’s new coffee mug from the kids. Love Shutterfly!
Nevermind that it was supposed to be his Christmas present, but someone sort of screwed up and waited too long to order it. I would have no idea at all who that someone was…
Friends!
We spent the afternoon and early evening visiting the Dothages and Tamara and Kyler. The kids got some much needed play time and the adults got some friend time. Thanks to Tamara for hosting us (and to Keith for entertaining Andy while the rest of us went to Tamara’s house)! The kids played while us ladies ate good food, had some good drinks, and chatted away our time. As usual, it ended too fast, but we were glad to be able to see everyone. What a great way to spend an afternoon off work and school.
Cookies Sales Success!
I think you can call this year’s cookie sales for Laura’s Daisy Scout Troop a success. Between the ten girls, they combined to sell 1,000 boxes of cookies! That’s $500 for the troop. Also, that total does not count cookie booth sales and potential donations. The troop gets to keep all donations and Laura collected $36 in donations! I’m sure you can tell that Andy and I are so proud of our little Daisy Scout. Of that 1,000 boxes, Laura sold 136 boxes! She is very proud of herself and excited to get to help decide how to spend the funds. Go Ridgeway Daisies!
