Starting Tomorrow...

The next 6 weeks are freedom for me! J is going to visit her mother and 3 sisters in Virginia for her summer visitation.

Last year it took E two weeks- 2 full weeks - before she asked where sissy was. Shows exactly how much time J spends with her little sister who lives in the same house as her. I can't think of any more than 5 minutes in the last month where J has spent any quality time with E. Pretty sad. J makes bunches of promises to E that would involve spending time with her but never ever follows through. Ask E if she wants to stay home with sissy and the tears will flow with an adamant "Nooooo!" No love lost there.

Evening Cook Out

We went to a military friend's house last night for a cook out and had a great time. Hubby and I took E with us. We knew ahead of time that there were going to be a few other kids there her age so it worked out very well. The kids had a great time playing in the sand volleyball court or checking out the river which was right there as well. Within two minutes of arriving E was a grubby little girl. There was dirt/sand all over her face and arms. Needless to say she got a bath immediately when we got home.

E played by herself mostly in the sand, but it was nice. Hubby and I were able to sit down and relax and actually visit with the other people in attendence. Overall it was a good time. We definitely have to do more things like this again. Now that we have our own grill, I think we need to do this at our house sometime. There isn't as much for the kids to do, but we do have a trampoline! Next time I get some wine/winecoolers for myself!

Daycare Infractions

I'm so thankful for the great daycare center that I have. E loves it there. Has a really good time and has learned so much. A neighbor mom and I were out last night so the kids could play before supper. She asked me what I thought of a punishment that her home daycare had implemented on her 2yo daughter. Apparently little girl had two seperate incidences on two seperate days.
