had to remember this

before school on friday... it was "God Bless America" day in her class so she had to wear red :)

olivia's preschool carpool is in a little U shape. you hold up your number and they bring your kid and buckle them in. easy peasy. usually they make their way a few cars back to see numbers and start gathering those kids so by the time you are rounding the bend, your little tot is ready. i love to try and get a look at what olivia is doing waiting with her little class before she sees me. yesterday i saw the cutest thing. the carpool person was getting her from her teacher and her teacher was kneeling down in front of her blowing a kiss-- i guess she was probably wanting olivia to do the same. instead i saw olivia wave/say bye bye and then literally jump in to her teacher's arms for a hug. then she ran to the car with the carpool lady. i'm sooooo happy she likes her teacher and that this is working out well. it was really cute to see.

that being said, i need to structure my short tuesday/friday 3 hour "break" better. some days i try and pre-plan what i'm going to do the night before, otherwise it totally wastes away in 2 seconds. case in point--yesterday. somehow all i did was go to the grocery store and i'm pretty sure i was NOT there 3 hours. not sure how that adds up. oh well. happy weekend!

i picked her up from school with lunch and bathing suits so we could cram in a quick hour at the pool. she is not quite ready for a nap when we get home from school so the pool is our favorite time killer....as you can see, she loves mom's "gasses"...
