Picture Day

Yesterday afternoon when I picked up Major from school, a few of his friends were going to the park across the street so we decided to join them (including his "girlfriend" Alana). There were six of us moms sitting there and little ones running up. I had just met the two moms I did not know. Then one chimed in "Oh! I didn't realize you were a mom. I thought you were her (Alana's mom) daughter! You look so young!"

Wow! Flattered I was. But talk about awkward! Alana's mom said "And I look old!?" all in good humor!

Today was picture day for Ella Grace. I was able to volunteer in return for a voucher for free pictures! Yea! I took Major to a friends house (Matt). Major and Matt go to VPK together but are not in the same class. Conveniently, Matt has a sister named Zoe that is in kindergarten at Ella Grace's school, but they are not in the same class. So, I took Major to Matt's house and picked up Zoe, then took the girls to school with me. Matt and Zoe's Mom Maggie took the boys to school and picked them up.

It was really an easy day - lining kids up, passing out combs, etc., etc. I was able to see Ella Grace when she came in for her picture and then also during her lunch time. One of her little girl friends kept saying "Ella Grace, your mom is cute!". So funny! I guess that is a kindergarten expression.

I loved being in the school, being able to interact with the kids and teachers. I was even able to see two of the kids that I help "teach" (I really use that term loosely!) in choir on Wednesday nights.

All in all, it was a good day.
