First Day of Kingergarten!

My grandaughter started Kindergarten today! Oh my, I do not like that! But she was more than ready and excited about her first day. I went over this morning to take pictures!

And little sister wanted her picture made also!

My daughter in law said Jayda did just fine when she left her at school.  But when she got in the car "Butterfly Kisses" was playing on the radio...and she lost it!!  There will be alot of changes this year but it's also going to be exciting!!

Best friend, shopping, Cheesecake Factory and cuddling a newborn baby!

I had the best day yesterday! I drove to the Woodlands to spend the day with my childhood friend from W. Texas who came in to visit with her new grandson. She has 7 grandchildren now and I am sooo jealous, I just have 2! There is nothing like holding a tiny baby. He is really the sweetest! After cuddling and ooooing and ahhhing over him we left to go shopping. We ate lunch at the Cheesecake Factory but too stuffed for dessert. We went back later in the day for coffee, cheesecake and a chance to just get a good visit in. We have been friends since we were 10 yrs. old and we are like sisters. I took her back to her daughters and headed home and got home around 10 p.m. Very long day but definitely worth the trip! I was quite draggy today back at work! The kids came over tonight, Jayda had been to "meet the teacher". She was sooo excited to see where she was going to school and see some classmates and her teacher. She can't wait til Monday. We will be baby sitting the girls tomorrow night so maybe I can get some pictures!!

It's an oven out there...

I went shopping Sat. with my daughter in law and 2 sweet grandaughters. Jessica and Jayda shopped for school clothes and Riley and I entertained one another. We left at 9 and returned at 10:30 Sat. night. I was exhausted, needless to say it was the hottest!!! Jayda starts kindergarten next week, cannot believe it! We literally shopped til we dropped. The parking garage at the Boardwalk was honestly like an oven! Of course the cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory made up for it! It really was a fun day, shopping with the girls is more exciting than when I use to shop for my 2 little boys, which was a very long time ago. Jayda got so many cute outfits for school, she looks like a doll! I hope to get pictures of her the first day of school. Time has gone by toooooooo fast!

It's beginning to look alot like...wait....

It's not Christmas! Christmas time is usually the time that people think about doing nice things for people. I've heard and read about this but didn't experience it until tonight! We went out of town to eat and shop a little and before we headed home we drove through Starbucks so I could get a skinny white chocolate mocha...oh..it's heavenly. When we drove up to the window to pay for it the lady said..."the lady in the car in front of you has paid for your drink".....I looked up and she was driving off. Actually I had not even paid any attention to who was in front of us. After I closed my mouth from surprise, I smiled!! Sooo I bought the drink for the lady behind me!! A small act of of kindness goes a long way and makes you feel warm and fuzzy. Especially while you are drinking a skinny white chocolate mocha!!

Time to go back to work so I can rest!

Our weekend was busy busy. Started out Friday night with a datenight with my husband and another couple. We went out of town for dinner and the food was delicious and we had so much fun. Ended it with bringing home Krispy Kreme donuts..oh my! Sat. and Sun. we had our little grandaughters. Their parents were in Galveston for a wedding. Their "mimi" had them Friday night and when she brought them over Sat. they were wound up and still ready to roll! We swam most of the time. I did not get one picture, way too busy! We played in the sandbox, rode the barbie jeep, swung in the swings, retrieved a frog out of the pool, ate and did crafts. Also went to church and later went for snowcones! Swam all of Sunday afternoon. By the time the parents picked them up all 4 of us were exhausted. We get to have a rerun tonight because today is my youngest son's birthday so Dad is grilling. After the girls left last night I remembered I still had to make the birtday cake, which is actually Cheesecake, his favorite! We are actually celebrating my DIL birthday also, hers is in 2 weeks so I'm killing 2 birds with one stone as they say! I like to celebrate them together so I won't interfere if they have plans for her birthday with her family or anything else. I'm back at work trying to rest a bit before tonight. Ha! That isn't happening! Family time is so precious because you never know when things will change in the blink of an eye. And before I know it those little girls will be grown! My son is 33 today, where did the time go?
