Class Parties

I was really wanting to help with Luke and Emma's class parties but I really didn't want to bug friends and make them watch my kids AND I was a little hesitant to leave Eva. I was going to try one friend but found out she was having surgery the same day and then my other friend had finals to study for and I didn't want to bug her. I was even trying to get Matt to stay home from work to watch Gavin and Eva but he was too busy. The night before the parties I got a call from my good friend Suzanne Whetman. She said she wanted to do something for me...she asked if I needed help shopping, cleaning, anything. It was like she was inspired to call because I had been fretting! I really hate asking people to do things and usually if people (aka visiting teachers) ask "if they can do anything for me" I just say no. This time I got all excited and asked Suzanne to watch Eva and Gavin. What a dear friend to call me up out of the blue and ask if they could help! It worked out great and Eva was an angel!

I think Luke and Emma were really excited to have me there. Their parties were at the exact same time and so I started out with Luke's. He didn't seem to care if I was there and he kept bee bopping around from room to room and so I decided he didn't need me and I told him I was going to Emma's for a little while. I went to her room and they needed me. At one station they were decorating cookies and one little girl had about 3 inches of frosting on her cookie. I decided to stay a while in her room. When I finally returned to Luke's room he came running up to me and said "MOM you were gone like an HOUR! I was about to ask Ms. Molina if I could go find you!" So he really DID want me there :) He begged me to stay and eat lunch with his class (they were having pizza). What a fun day to be with my two big kids.
