March showers bring April flowers?

Today, it was raining. Therefore, much to the girls' disappointment, I drove Darrelyn to school. I'm all for walking in the rain, it can be great fun, but I didn't want Darrelyn sitting in damp clothes all day.

When Bre and I came home, she played with her magnets while I tackled more laundry and cleaned the kitchen. Sarah called and asked if Breanna would like to go to the Family Resource Centre for Drop-in play. That's like asking if fish like water. So, I packed the "green bag" (this is the bag I take everywhere with all our essential things in it), got Breanna dressed in normal clothes and put her hair in pigtails. Sarah came by around 10:00 to pick her up.

I had from 10:00 until 11:30 all to myself!!!! Wow was the house ever quiet. Since we moved the computers downstairs, the hum is missing upstairs. Add that to no Breanna and it was SILENT. Is this what its going to be like next year? I have a feeling I'll be spending a lot more time at the school next year.

While Breanna was out, I managed to organize my user's manuals, hook up the karaoke machine that we've had for over a year, do more laundry and take the meat out that I will need for this week's meal plan. I started to go through the flyers, but it was time to leave.

On Tuesdays, I volunteer for pizza day at the school. They have two lunches, the k-2 and the 3-5. For each shift I get a bunch of party pizzas delivered and I have to divide them up according to what was ordered for each class. Oh and I have to do all this within 15 minutes. Did I mention that there are approx 3 classes for each grade? Sometimes more. Lets just say I'm am extremely busy when the pizzas arrive. One day, I couldn't make it and it took two people to replace me. Kind of makes me feel good

After I was done volunteering, I quickly stopped at the dollar store to pick up a preschool workbook for Bre and then went to M&M meats. Their chicken nuggets were on sale and I absolutely love them! Oh I mean the girls love them, yeah that's it.

I visited with Sarah for about half an hour until I had to pick Darrelyn up. Sarah told me about a ladies spa weekend coming up and said she wanted a friend to go with her. She really had to twist my arm and force me, but I agreed to go... just for her of course! Okay, so honestly, I'm really excited. There'll be a massage therapist, manicurist, pedicurist, hair stylist, etc. The entire weekend for only $65!

After school, the girls and I went to the museum. I already packed a snack in the "green bag", but I needed to buy some apple juice. We had our snack by the fountain. Darrelyn was quite perturbed that the fountain was green. I explained it was for St. Patrick's Day and she said she still didn't like it After snack, we went to the museum and straight to the play room. The girls played while I sat and crocheted. What a nice afternoon. Our family membership is probably the best money I've spent this year.

Gary met us after work and suggested we go out to eat. The girls won and we headed to Pizza Delight. It was a nice surprise to find out that children eat free on Tuesdays... BONUS!

The girls played for awhile after we got home and then I told them it was bed time. They got into their jammies and were ready for bed in record time. Then we heard the music coming from downstairs. Gary didn't realize that I actually convinced them it was bedtime before 7:00 so he was playing music for Darrelyn to dance to. You would think the night gown would have given it away. Anyway, we had a chuckle over it and the girls went off to bed.
