Day

I forgot to mention--yesterday my friend Rachel watched my three other girls so I could eat lunch with Eliza at school. I didn't tell her before, and when she saw me, she said, "What are you doing here?" It was cute. I brought a peanut butter and honey sandwich and an applesauce and ate right with her. The little girls at her table made comments like, "You're Eliza's mom?" "You're pretty" (leave it to five year old to make you feel good!!), "I wish my mom would come." etc. It was fun. Then I went to the playground with her for a little bit, then headed back to Rachel's, where we all--and our other friend Leslie swam. Good times.

Today I took Eliza to school, then dropped Libby off at preschool. When we came home, I put Hattie down and she slept for quite a while. I did some cleaning and Ellie played and watched her favorite--Baby Einsteins. My mom picked up Libby and brought her home. Libby said she had a good day--they did the parachute to get the ball in the air, she started learning the zoophonics letters, they had pretzels for snacks and she told me the song they sang. She was getting a kick out of it. We hung out at home until time to get Eliza. We stopped by Target first to get a water bottle for Libby to take to school. After we picked her up, we came home and they did their chores. We picked up my cousin to babysit, then Brian and I headed on our date. We met some friends who just moved out of our ward (boo hoo) at an Indian restaurant. We got four different things and shared everything. It was yummy. The end of dinner was crummy when I was dumping the last bit of food into the takeout box and dropped it on me!!!!!!!! Of course it was the orangy-red sauce. We came home and I changed and threw the shirt into a sink of water and Biz. I hope it comes out! It was brand new, of course!

After I changed we went back out to a surprise 18th birthday party for one of my young women. She was surprised! We hung around for a little bit--Brian threw quite a bit at the dunk tank and did pretty well. And I stuffed my pockets with the goods from the pinata. From there we went back to Target (keep the comments to yourself) to get a water bottle for Eliza. Hers broke last week. Then we came home!!!!!!!

Tomorrow is mud soccer with the youth. Let's just say I am NOT looking forward to it at all!
