Meatloaf

Emma Grace is helping in the kitchen tonight. She made the meatloaf by herself for the first time. As we put it in the oven she says, "It might not taste so good,but it sure is fun to make"

The trials of 1st grade

I am subbing at the girls school again today. At the end of the day I quickly grab Holly out of line and am headed back to my classroom to make sure everything is in order. Holly is dragging her backpack through the crowd, her dress has popsicle stains down the front and her hair is every which way with her hairbow barely hanging on. Come Holly, I say...I left Emma in the room. Holly sighs loudly and replies  "You just have no idea what I have to go through do you?"

Rental Car

I took Emma Grace with me to pick up the rental car while our car is mental hospital. (cause its acting crazy) and she was excited.  It was just the two of us and she was loving this car. We pull up to a stop light and at the corner gas station she sees a really old classic car that must have been in the process of restoration because it was drivable but looked like it had just come off the junk yard. Emma sees it first and says "mom that must be his rental car." Why do you say that I ask her. "Because look. He has on a nice sweater and pants. If he really drove a car like that he would be in overalls and really really really old"

7

Hollys 7th birthday was yesterday. The party wore her out. Had to go to the store on the way home and she wanted to lie in the back of the cart. She rolled her coat up to put under her head and I asked her if she was tired? Her response was "No mam. I'm just sooooo 7" and closed her eyes.

My Black Daddy

Holly sees this picture on my phone. It's from the Masquerade Ball on our recent cruise. She has seen my mask before. (Thank you Pamela) But she ask me why her daddy has a black face. I tell her that is just the color of the mask he had. Then She asked me why he had on a black shirt. It looked like a tuxedo but was a tshirt I tell her. Then she asked me what color his pants were that night. Black. So she stares really hard at the picture and declares "Guess it's cool to have a black daddy."
