An Unexpectedly Wonderful Day

First, I woke up early, but not too early, and had some time to mess around on the computer. DD woke later, but played by herself for over 1 hour. Exclamation points fail to convey my happiness. As I was surfing, I decided to search one last time for a local used curriculum fair that I had remembered reading about. I found it, and it was today. So, I got us up and out of the house in record time in order to get some good deals. I found so many wonderful readers, workbooks, games, etc. Plus, I was able to meet some really nice people who shared their hs experiences with me. Lots of great advice. Plus, DD met some kids in the park and played hard for another couple of hours. She had such a great time. She was so absorbed with her friends that I was able to chat with some other moms. Good times.

We took a bike ride on a new-to-us portion of the greenway and she is conquering her fear of wobbling. She probably rode close to two miles. We saw a dead snake, which she wanted to keep in order to make a belt out of it like Mary Poppins (we just finished the audio book; if memory serves, they left that scene out of the movie:), several butterflies and a rabbit. We rounded out the night with ice cream. What a day!
