today!

my oldest graduated from kindergarten today!! *sigh* i can't believe she'll be in first grade, this fall. wow. where do the years go? a good friend watched the kids for me so i could attend the party/ceremony in her classroom. the kids sang some songs, her teacher talked about the past year and even showed a beautiful slide show, set to the song: "i hope you dance." i said loudly, "are you TRYING to make us cry?!" haha..

it's hard to believe her kindergarten year is already over. i have many more first and last days of school ahead of me. james and jenna haven't even hit preschool age yet. and i am sure i will have more children...at least one more! i've been baby hungry lately...but that's another blog...

my sweet downstairs neighbor took some pictures for us, and then we changed clothes and went to the park. there were lots of people there, today! it was soooo warm - jessica was complaining about the heat just minutes after we arrived. i tried to get her to keep drinking water. after some fun play time, we took a long stroll, back to the vehicle (which i had parked along the road because the parking lot was FULL).

there were some upsetting moments today, due to "alien" (that's what i call my soon-to-be-ex)...but other than those times, it was a good day. we returned home from the park and hung out for a while, then i changed back into my other clothes and we went to costco. why, you ask?? to pick up our pizza and berry sundaes, of course!! friday nights are pizza/movie night at our place...but when the kids are with their dad, we move it to thursday. so, we brought the food home and watched "watcher in the woods." it's a freaky disney movie from back in the day. jessica insisted, and didn't think it was too scary. well, we'll see if she wakes up in the middle of the night and comes to my door...
