Day of busy-ness!

Oh, what a day.  I feel like I spun my tires and went no where. Ever have a day like that?  Maddie came over this morning and we headed out the door to run errands. Got a bit of a late start. Picked up Lauren first.  Then we ran over to Bainbridge Island to see Maddie's art work in the Bainbridge Art Museum.  That was pretty cool to see it there!!!  The price is $75.00 to purchase her picture!

Lauren and Maddie (those are fake glasses Lauren likes to wear)

Her Grandpa Dave's house

I also ran into an old friend I haven't seen in over 14 years!  Her name is Charlotta.... she is Swedish and a chiropractor that worked in the same office I was a receptionist at.  We caught up on her life, my life and a little gossip about the other two chiropractors who worked there. One moved to California with his son....the other took off in the middle of the night outrunning the IRS and went to the Caribbean! lol!  Charlotta doesn't do Chiropractic work any more.

Then we went to Safeway.... couldn't find anything to eat... swung by McDonalds and got tired of the drive-thru wait so we left Bainbridge Island. 
Went to Maddie's and got her fake glasses and her DS.
Next we got some Subway sandwiches and went to Lions Club Park. We ran into some friends Derrance and Jessica....and their little one year old Tyus.  So cute!!! He kept hugging Lauren and waving bye bye.
We went to the Library where I picked up a bunch of books for my school!  It was fun! And the highlight was I ran into one of my old students... Lyric!  He was at a table with his mom and another lady and I said "Hi Lyric... do you remember me?" and before I got the whole sentence out he jumped up and ran into my arms!!!!  I almost cried!  It was awesome! He kept finding me and talking to me. Also saw one of our kids, Sophia's, mom. 
We went to Dollar Store and I got just a few things. Saw no one I knew there. lol!
Then we ran to Walmart and got some baby food for our school (taste). Doing the 5 Senses at school this next week.  Should be fun!  There were other things I wanted to get but couldn't find.  That is where I really felt like I was spinning wheels!  Did see Tamara Henry and visited and caught up on things. It was nice.
Even though I didn't feel like I got anything accomplished... I got some visiting in....touching human life is far more important than busy-ness.  Right???
At walmart Maddie bent down on a knee to look for baby food flavors and her knee must have landed on glass. It was a bleeder! It bled for over 15 minutes.  Of course we left and ran back to her house and Karla cleaned it up and dressed it for her.  Maddie figures a jar broke and it didn't get cleaned up all the way.  I'm sure she is right. SUE! jk
Well, that has been our day! Now they are having pasta with green salt (Parmesan cheese).

It was a pretty good week at school.  It was health week. 
Monday we talked about nutrition and every day we went over the Food Pyramid and talked about healthy foods and not very healthy foods. It was fun and they retained what they learned!  We made mobiles with healthy food they colored hanging from them.
Tuesday was Exercise!!! Veronica led them in exercises, we talked about different ways to exercise and sang Row Row Row Your Boat. The kids also did Broccoli Art where they made paintings using pieces of broccoli! 
Wednesday almost everyone wore their pajama's and we talked about how important sleep is for our bodies and minds and health.

They loved playing outside with their fruit balls (bouncy balls that smelled like fruit) in their pajamas!

Me and Ella

We did a cute project where they colored a paper bed, a quilt, a boy, girl and sleeping dog and we glued 3 sides of the quilt on so they could tuck the kids and animal in bed. They loved it! 
Thursday was Groundhogs day so the kids used paper cups, a stick and a gopher and colored and fixed them up so the gopher could pop out of his hole. lol! They loved that project alot! The tooth fairy "Twinkles" also came and talked to the kids about dental health!  It was cool because Skana was with her (she is married to Brad Sloman....one of Kevon's best friends all through high school!) It was good to see her! 

And Friday we did a recap of the week!  The day went really fast and we didn't have many kids. We played with the parachute outside. That was fun!

Well... enough of that. I only seem to talk about my grandkids and work. That is my life. And I love my life. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.  We have church and not sure if we'll even watch the Superbowl. Papa doesn't really care about either team.  We were invited to Tara & Brad's but Papa can't turn the channel if he is there. lol!  They'll have more fun with their friends without us anyway.
It is also Brad's birthday!

Love to all and have fun celebrating to my bestie's in Georgia!!! Thank the Lord!!!!
