Lunch at School

The highlight of my day (so far) was having lunch with Katie at school. The kids get only 20 minutes to eat, so it went by in a flash. But it was so cool meeting her friends and getting to talk to them. And she was thrilled to see me. You would have thought I was a superhero or something! Her friends were excited to see me too. One little girl named Ryleigh talked my ear off. Seriously. She was elated to have a captive audience. Here's a photo that Ryleigh took of me and Katie.
I picked up McDonald's for Katie, and that made her delirously happy too. Oh, what a wonderful little bright spot in my day. To make it even better, the morning rain stopped and the sun is shining now. And I got a chance to putter around at home while Jackson was at Parents Day Out. And even better? He didn't scream and shriek when I dropped him off! It's the little things in life, isn't it?

P.S. I'm really enjoying this Bloggy Giveaway thing. It's fun to see comments from everyone, and "meet" new people! It's like having a little smiley face in my in box!

Katie is adorable. I actually closed your blog before because I cried when I read the Six Golden Coins story. I had never heard it before. I didn't even your giveaway here because I have a photo bracelet, but I am entering your onesie giveaway at your other blog.

I have two giveaways too stop by my blog http://www.queenoftheclick.com

What a treat! My kids are or will be in the fall in grades 8 and 10, so I don't think they would be as happy to see me show up for lunch with them. I really miss those days when I was a superhero to them.
