ARE WE DONE YET?

After having a few "not so busy" days, I was feeling a little restless. Today, I was cured of that feeling. Today was jammed packed. It was PLAY DAY for the I.V. Macklin kids and they all got bussed to a park with an outdoor pool and fields to goof around for the day. I volunteered to go swimming with Josh and Merynn's classes thinking they would be swimming at the same time. Not true. Also, because Alysha's birthday is next monday when school is over, her class was celebrating it today and she wanted to bring cupcakes to share with her friends. So my day went as follows.

8:50 - 10:45 - Swim with Joshua's class in the outdoor pool. Brrrrrr. But so fun. Met up with my friend Jen (who was also at the park volunteering and had Trentman).

11:00 - 11:20 -Walk back to the van, get the cupcakes, meet up with Alysha's kindergarten class. Hot dog lunch with Alysha's class. Left the cupcakes with her teacher cause I had to be back at the pool to swim with Merynn's class, who started swmming at 10:45.

11:20 - 12:00 - Put on wet bathing suit, got back in the water and swam with Merynn's class. I felt bad cause I missed most of the swimming time with her but I had overbooked myself. We still had a good time.

12:00 - 1:00 - Back out of the pool, find Jen again(who still had Trentan, bless her) Play at the park with Trentan (who kept asking for an "under dog" on the swing) and visited with Jen. LOVE HER!! Also went and watched Josh's class have a "wet sponge" fight. That was funny to watch.

1:00 - 2:00 - Back with the kindergartens to play with hoola hoops and bubbles and face painting. Trentan and Alysha have never had their faces painted before so that was extra cool. Trentan got a shark and Alysha got a butterfly. Looked for Merynn's class but couldn't find them. She sorta got the short end of the stick today.

2:00 - 2:30 - Pack up, walk back to the van, drive and get a slush for Trentman and myself. It was a hot day and my throat was hurting. Maybe too much pool water?

2:30 - 3:00 - On my way back to the school, witnessed a guy on a bike getting hit by a car. He was not hurt too badly, but it was still heart racing. I was amazed at how many people stopped and helped the dude (who was NOT wearing a helmet). There are still good people around.

3:00 - 4: 30 - Alysha had her end of the year party with a dvd to watch , a small presentation and ice cream sundaes. She is officially done school and moving on to grade one!!! Her reprot card was excellent. She is my sweet pea. Then the kids wanted to play at the park at the school for awhile and I though "Why not?"

5:00 - Went and picked up Owen (the cutie I babysit sometimes) from his dayhome and finally got back in the house at 5:15. Fed Owen, fed my kids, bathed my kids, played with the kids, cleaned the kitchen, Owen got picked up and before I knew it, 3 out of the 4 kids were asleep in the front room. Only Josh said prayers with me and then off to bed.

WHAT A DAY......NO........WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY!!!

Nathan is working the afternoon shift so I told him that I could very well be asleep on the couch in the front room when he gets home at 11:00p.m.

GOODNIGHT!
