As you can see, wee one's play day went really well! Their class won first place in 8 of the 14 events. The kids were so cute....running around in their t-shirts they had made, having a blast. They made one for me too....so when I got there I put it on and was ready to cheer on the class. Of course, the grand finale of the day was the tug of war. Each year a trophy is passed from class to class and it is apparently quite an honor if you win. Well, maybe not an honor....but you do get a week with no homework! LOL. We didn't win this year though....our class has some pretty small kids in it. The winning class had kids that looked like they were in middle school already. But good sportsmanship ruled the day and everyone was happy.
I carpooled with my girlfriend and her little boy today. The same little boy who I babysat this week. He was so cute....he asked if he could come in so that I could babysit him again. We played outside at the school for a bit, and I teased him by burying his feet in the sand. He is such a doll! On the way home he was sitting in his car seat and I heard him say, "Sherry?" I said, "Yes?" and he said, "Do you have a boy that wants to marry you?" LOL....I told him I did and he thought for a minute and said, "But does he have blonde hair like ME?" LOLOL....I just love that kid. He cried when he left because he wanted to stay with me. Ohhhh, how I remember the days when my kids loved me like that! LOL....
Tonight is a quiet one. Wee one is spending the night at her friend's house and Betsy is holed up in her room watching movies. She was going to go out with her friend but there was a change of plan at the last minute. JB spent the evening power washing the driveway in preparation for sealing tomorrow, and he also washed my car....which badly needed it! It's been sitting out for the recommended 5 days whilst the garage floor dries. He repainted it and it looks pretty dang good. He should be asleep in front of the tv within the hour.
So, that leaves me with a free evening and a free computer! Hmmm, perhaps I should go shopping....ebay here I come!!!!

Our local school district does the same thing. I miss it! It was always a great day for both kids and the parents.

Congratulations to Hayley, and by the way, congrats to you too on your weight loss. I've only lost about 7 seven pounds in that same amount of time. Oh well, I guess it looks like I need to walk more, huh?
