What a crazy weekend, full of ups and downs!

Friday:  Ohhhhh the parties and parades and costume fashion shows!  Aryanna has a morning session pre-school class she goes to and then a Pre-kindergarten session she goes to the other half of the day.  So, inevitably I wind up having to do things for 2 different classes, in addition to whatever my son needs for his 1st grade class.  My son Jordyn had a “Book Fair Parade”, but somehow I missed the note that got sent home and had NO idea.  How embarrassing.  I know I’m forgetful, but for events like that I put the papers up on the fridge so I won’t forget the event.  I must have forgot to put the paper up, so this was doomed from get go!!   Anyway, I had to go to Aryanna’s Halloween party at school at 11 and then try to make it back home to make lunch because my husband and I promised to have lunch at school with my son.

The party was great!  I love Halloween…the kids are always so cute.  Her class sang the parents a song and then they had a fashion show to show off their costumes.  Then they let the gorging begin!  Cupcakes, candies, cookies, cakes, pies…oh and some fruit somewhere in there.  When we picked up Aryanna from school in the afternoon she complained and complained about how she felt sick.  I explained to her that she ate wayyy to much sugar and that she can’t eat like that all at once.  (The same thing happened last year at her pre-school party) How quickly they forget!

We were a little late but my husband and I made it for lunch with our son.  He was so happy to see us.  There’s nothing like that moment when they just are soooo evidently happy to see you.  I love that.  It let’s me know that surviving all those moments of them throwing fits and misbehaving are for something.  All that running around that day didn’t annoy me which surprised me.  I was happy to do it and excited.  I felt lucky and privilaged to be a SAHM who could make it to all these events and spend these special moments with them.
