Well, I have just about run myself crazy today trying to get things done and errands run before Nathan's parents get here. My day started at 6AM and I JUST finished everything on my list at 5PM! I don't know why I always wait till the last minute to do everything! But I always seem to. With a lot of running and praying I accomplished everything on my list. Also Nathan came home early this afternoon and helped out a LOT!
Taylor has been so excited today. I volunteered to help in her classroom today and it was a lot of fun. They had Apple Day. Her teacher had set up 5 or 6 stations that they rotated to doing things with their apples. At one of the stations they used plastic knives to cut their apples into pieces and topped it with an apple crisp crumb topping. They put them in little toaster ovens and baked them all afternoon and then go to eat them for snack time. It was fun seeing her with her friends in her classroom and hearing them talk. She and another little girls were talking about what their favorite movie is. Kaylin said she likes some Disney movie and Taylor's favorite was High School Musical. (Ha!) Kaylin's mother looked at me kind of funny when Taylor said that. I know she was thinking "You let your 5 year old watch that?!" I just said "She has older cousins that she saw watching it one time so now she likes it too. " I also went ahead and added "She's a big fan of Hannah Montana too." (Just had to stir the pot a little more. ha!) Besides being excited about Apple Day, she has been running up and down the stairs all afternoon asking when Meme and Papaw are going to be here. Luckily they are only about 10 minutes away now.
Emma had a fun day at preschool today too. She is always a sweaty, sandy mess when I pick her up. I think she lays down and swims in the sandbox! She had it head to toe and brought home at least a handful in both of her shoes. Her teacher is a friend of mine (or used to be before she had my daughter in class!!! Ha-just kidding, she loves Emma.) anyway, she told me that it was raining at recess time so she asked the kids if they could tell her why they couldn't go out to play today. Most of them said "Because it's raining!" but Emma said, "We CAN go out to play; you and Mrs. Watts just need to go get towels and you can dry everything off for us. That would be a GREAT IDEA!" Ha! Have you every read any of those Junie B. Jones books? I'm going to have to stop reading them to Taylor when Emma is in the room. She acts a lot like Junie B. sometimes! :-)
Well, my in-laws just pulled into the driveway. Gotta go!
