Today was a long day.  The middle kids had a field trip with their preschool and Amelia had a field trip in the afternoon with her Daisy troop.  This morning I woke up and took a shower so that I looked halfway decent.  I don't know how the other moms at this preschool do it, but they always look amazing.  Very intimidating.  So anyway, I had to wake up early to shower, then stop that routine so that I could get Amelia ready for school.  There were some forms and a note that had to be sent to her teacher today so I had to get that together.  After a quick breakfast (yet another thing that I feel guilty about- how do other moms make their kids a huge breakfast in the am?) Amelia left for school and I went upstairs to continue to get ready.  After that, Walter was awake and needed to eat.  He ate super slow today, or maybe I was anxious about getting to the school on time.  Didn't want them to leave us!  It was cold today so everyone required hats, coats, and mittens.  We went to the holiday concert with little man in tow.  They all did great and loved everything about it.  The high school orchestra puts on a great show with Christmas songs and characters!  They had Jessie and Woody, a prince and princess, a fairy, elves, Mickey and Minnie mouse, a banana, and even Santa! I had enough time to run to Chick fil A, grab lunch for everyone, then get back home in time for Georgia's speech teacher.  She is doing so well in speech!  Her therapist says she is completely done with the K and G sound, it's even in her spontaneous speech. They are beginning to work the th blend and even that is becoming easier for Georgia.  She loves her special time with Ms.Patty, it's been great for her.  Anyway, after therapy, we all took a little nap while we waited for Amelia to return from her field trip.  She went to the hidden pond with her Daisy troop and apparently touched a real snake!  Highlight of her day.  Then it was time to prepare dinner, wait for daddy to come home, and clean up our messes. 

When Kenneth came home, I decided that we all needed to go outside and put up a few decorations.  The kids bundled up and we got our supplies.  It ended up to be Kenneth putting the Christmas trees up in our front yard, and the kids riding the scooters.  Who doesn't love a little night scooter riding?  They had fun and burnt off a little steam.  It was a good day and night, but hard.
