We try to meet Miss Allie and Luke on Fridays, but it doesn't always happen due to illness, conflicts, illness, weather, and illness. But last Friday, the stars all aligned, and we had a lovely time at a park down in Dallas. After the park, we went and had lunch on the patio at Whole Foods, which is so much fun for a brief shining few minutes. Grown-up food, great kid choices, beautiful weather, decent scenery, nice conversation, and another child at our same "energy" level. Then the brief shining moment ends and they start getting out of their chairs, running down the sidewalk towards the parking lot, throwing lava rocks out of the flowerbeds, etc. But it's worth it for those brief fun times!
I love this little park b/c it has some new play structures and also vintage equipment like the turtle and the merry-go-round. There aren't many merry-go-rounds these days due to liability. Ugh.
Lately, Henry has been asking for a band-aid every morning before preschool. On this particular morning, his ensemble included two small squares on his forehead.
When Todd came home that night and saw him, he said...."Well, the horns finally came out and you had to cut them off, didn't you?" I laughed and laughed!
Henry's school had a T-Giving feast for the whole school. Each class prepared a dish to share with all the other classes. Henry's class made banana bread. He was very excited about this...they made it on Monday and didn't get to eat it until Wednesday. Talk about torture. He woke up on Wednesday morning talking about the feast. While he was eating, he asked me ... "mommy, where's the feast?" I explained that this WAS the feast!
