A Day in the Life

We had a rough start this morning. Bible reading went smoothly. We prayed for Pappy who was undergoing surgery. Getting dressed was fine. Then before making her bed, Maggie insisted on wearing her birthday hat and then had a meltdown because it wouldn't stay on. She threw it several times and ripped it. Poor Maggie! Poor mommy!!

Finally, she decided to join in on her morning routine and help with the calendar. She had to do Pledge of
Allegiance and tracing by herself in order to 'earn' her breakfast cartoon.

Luckily, I got a little break! Our sitter Tamara arrived after breakfast (and did their reading lesson :0)) and I went to an amazing dance class and to Costco!

What a cart!!!! Would have been a great shopping trip except for the creepy toothless, old dirty guy who kept chatting AT me, staring and touching my groceries...as Jimmy Fallon would say, "eeewww!"

After lunch, the girls started turning boxes into vehicles with a little mommy help. This is the double decker bus and below that is a boat. So creative!

The Sears repair guy showed up at 1:30 for a 1-5 service window- miracle!!!! It will cost over $500 to fix our microwave. Seriously? The warranty just ran out, of course. Apparently, our contractor installed the oven without a shelf to sit on, so they won't even fix it until we get a shelf installed. Geez.

Off to the park for a quick picnic. Maggie is using a lasso that Mary made and we are cheering her on.

We just heard Pappy's surgery went well!! Praise God!

Off to take a shower and wash my hair, finally!
