was only the first day of Spring but at least in our little world, a bit more. We started the morning by enrolling Miss M in PreK. She will be reprising the Smith role with Miss Brandi and Miss Shelli at Gage's old school. As we walked in the school on Friday, both Miss B and Miss S grabbed all of us and hugged us tight. Miss M is so excited and we are giddy. It will be a great time and Miss M will most certainly make it her own. Miss Brandi really misses Gage, as most women do but looks like they will still be able to see each other, once in a while.
We continued our morning with Miss M's playgroup at Mc Dee's. The kids got to run and play and except for Morgan, probably took good naps for their mommies. A quick grocery shopping trip before we picked Keaton up from early release, took the rest of our time.
Keaton got in the car and yelled, We got to watch channel 7 at six tonight!!!! and he proceeded to tell us about his morning. One of the kids in his class didn't know it but would be surprised by the return of his dad who had been in Iraq for the last 15 months. Keaton said, B cried when he saw his dad, the teacher cried and so did Keaton. They all got to ask the dad questions and then they all went home with an military goody bag - when you are 9, it just doesn't get any better.
On the way to Sonic, we discussed how hard it would be to have their daddy gone and not see him for two Christmas's. We counted our blessings right there and then. B was going to get to spend spring break with his dad and Keaton thought that was just cool.
Looks like Spring Break is off to a great start. We are having a Keaton sleepover at nana's tonight, then an American Idol sleepover at their house on Tuesday. Will pick up Gage Wednesday night for another sleepover and finish with a Miss M one later in the week. There is a trip to Powell's Candy store and Wahooz too. Looks like we have a Plan and while we are living ours, we will be thinking about B and his dad - hope their week is super...
