Today Was Fun Mommy!!

"Today was really fun Mommy!" were the last little words I heard utter out of Ava's mouth as she finally shut her eyes. It wasn't but a couple of weeks ago on a Monday morning that we were driving to school when she asked me why her friend Cole didn't have to go to school. I explained to her that Cole's mommy dosen't have to work. I saw the wheels in Ava's head turning as she was thinking and then she looked at me in the rear-view mirror and said "So everyday is the weekend for Cole." Just as she said those words "GUILT" begin to pour all over my body. I told Ava what great friends she had at school and how smart she was and reassured her everyday was not like the weekends for her friend. She quickly got over the fact that she has to go to school and her weekends are Saturday and Sunday. I quickly got over the fact that I have to work because we have yet to win the lottery!! SO...... today Ava got to have a weekend in the middle of the week. I was off of school and decided we would stay home and have a little fun. The Hardee Boys & The Oliver Kids all came over for a fall day of fun. Ava enjoyed running, playing hide & seek, riding the Barbie Jeep, laying around with her friends, eating snacks, and making a mess of the house. But once everyone went to bed I went in to kiss both girls goodnight and I actually thought to myself "Ava & Lilly today was really fun and Mommy loved being home with you too!"

October Fun

The month of October is already over and before long December will be here. Friends often ask "Where have you been?" or "You are too busy, we need to get together sometime." This month flew in with the leaves and with that being said the "Wild Wood Family" spent every weekend playing. The first weekend was the Garner Fireman's Day Parade. The second weekend was the State Fair. The next weekend was Ella Grace's First Birthday, and the last weekend was Halloween. I must say we lead a very BUSY life, but as a good friend of mine once said "We're making memories".
