Gma Visit

I only got these pics since we were so busy playing. Gma watched Jax at Little Gym and good thing bc it was parent participation day and I had hilly. I totes forgot. So Gma watched H while I played parachute w Jackie and her classmates and their parents.

We ate w girls at my absolutely favorite pregnancy restaurant in the world- Ruby T's. That salad bar is all I need for the rest of my life to eat. I remember when I was 7 weeks pregnant with Hilly and my mom was watching Jackie for the day while I was working. I came home and said "I am starving and we have to go to Ruby T's right now because I am 7 weeks pregnant." or something like that. She was like "Omg! What??" and I was like "Digest the news en route, please. I am shaking with hunger and nausea." I digress.

Anyway, the girls napped then played the day/night away w Gma and Jim and I went out for a late impromptu bday dinner at like 8pm when when he was able to leave work.

At 530am Jackie woke up and called "Grandma!" I kept them occupied with cartoons til 630 when I let them wake up Gma. We dropped Jack off at school and it was tearful, so her teacher asked if she wanted to show her Gma the room. Hilly and I crashed the party and it was crazy! They have caterpillars that have all spun cocoons, praying mantis pods (vomit- her teacher told me there are 100s in each pod and a few years ago a parent gave her a pod and she thought "cool!" and put it in cabinet. Her and the asst teacher walked in one day and there were 100s of baby praying manti (?) all over the room- on walls, floor, etc...hahaha), an aquarium of WORMS, and the usual suspects- the fish and frogs). Apparently last week they had a snake Ms W's daughter caught by a river. Anyway, I totally think it's awesome that Jax is exposed to this stuff and I want a weekly tour of her classroom! I also love her teacher because she is laid back and cool and I feel like she probably has a secret tattoo. Basically, Ms W is cool as hell. And Ms A is like the sweetest, nicest and most nurturing woman. I just think she was meant to be a preschool teacher. I am sad that Jackie won't have them next year and also sad Hilly won't. I just don't think it's worth the money at her age- especially since she will have just turned 2 and I can't part with my Hilly monster for 3 mornings a week. Too soon.

After school I had 2 tired monkeys. We all napped for hours and and woke up to read books, play dominos and admire Jax's plant from school and go on a wagon ride with Dada. That plant has been through a lot today, let me tell you.
