Big Day

Today was my first day of work. The morning went pretty smoothly until we brought the girls to Sadie's school. Sadie screamed so loudly and was reaching for us. It broke my heart and made me cry. Betsy, on the other hand, yelled "I'm makin' new friends!" as soon as we got there. The day went well. I missed my girls terribly, but I did not shed one tear at work. I couldn't put the girls' photograph on my desk because I was afraid I'd start to cry. When we picked them up Sadie was just fine and Betsy was running around with the other kids. Betsy did start crying because someone grabbed a ball from her. Then she cried harder when I told her it was time to leave. She told us that at nap time "they told me to lie down and not to get up and then they made it like night time." We ate dinner at Theo's to celebrate our big day. I am exhausted, but I had to blog a bit.

Sadie has 3 teeth now and one more on the way. She puts everything on her head (bowls, clothes, cups, toys) and says, "Hat!" She also touches the water as it fills the tub and says, "Hot!" She sings the third line of 'Twinkle, Twinkle' (up above the world so high..)

B like lying in the tub and pretending like she is Ariel. It makes rinsing her hair a lot easier. Yesterday B told us "I'm not going to be shy to the teachers at Sadie's school." She always wants to play or bathe "for a few more seconds!"

Last week we packed in lots of fun stuff. B had her last week of camp. Sadie and I met up with Katie and Jonah for coffee and a walk in the Park. We spent lots and lots of time with the Carville girls--PJs-ing, shopping, and playing in the playroom. Attie, Katie, and I went shoe shopping and to lunch while Sam watched the girls. It took forever to find plain, black work shoes, but we found two pairs! On Friday night we went to Rum House with Gumbo and Bee. It was yummy again. B spent the night at Gumbo's house. On Saturday I went work clothes shopping with Marme and the sistas. I was successful--yay! Yesterday we made a trip to Sam's then B and I did more shopping. I had zero work clothes so now I have a bunch.

Pics later.
