Rainy Day Recess

Last night Oliver and Mommy slept at Grammie's house.  Mommy woke up super early to visit her Y friends and then go "babysit" the 6th graders at Phoenix.  (Mommy loves the fire that burns in kids that age, they made her laugh a lot and towards the end of the day she let her guard down and made them laugh tons too!)  Mommy was also glad she brought her "inspiration" notebook with her, because there were a lot of ideas she heard throughout the day she didn't want to forget.  And, there were a lot of words she came across that she wanted to look up later-- she likes to do that and keep the definitions in her notebook.

While Mommy was working Oliver was busy at Grammie's house.  Grammie heard his footsteps when he awoke and greeted him in the bedroom to make him feel safe and comfortable.  He spent the day being respectful and also mowing her house- he couldn't go outside because of the rain...it was rainy day recess for a lot of kiddos today.

Mommy was feeling very playful at school so she sent her old scholar, Connor a note during class.  (Connor is Oliver's chocolate cake- hopefully Mommy's Chocolate cake- Connor's teacher- wasn't interrupted by the note passing....)  So, after all the note passing was done, Connor came with Mommy to surprise Oliver after school and we did some errands together.  Those boys sure had fun!  Too bad Mommy didn't have the boy's theme song to play in the car.  They both love anything that has to do with Cars.  We had a great Monday full of caring people and happiness!

 This is how Mommy found the boys after she re-checked out her book...

Mommy is so glad that Oliver enjoyed Connor's read-aloud.
