WALL BALL

For quite some time now Mimi has learned to play wall ball at school and is loving it. Today the sun is trying to peek out from behind the clouds, so at this very moment is is soooooo gorgeous outside with the bluest sky and the whitest of white clouds.

This afternoon I learned that the dog Brandy is taking care attacked her cat and the cat had to be sent to kitty heaven. I figured that she was/is not in the mood to cook dinner so I brought some over to her and her family. On the way back to my house I met up with Scott and his daughter Natalie who is 9yo. They were on their way to the school to play wall ball and invited Mimi to join them. Of course dad wanted to go to since Scott is dad's playmate. They have their own playdates sometimes too.

So now the girls are with their dads and I get some "me time" Woo Hoo!

MEMORIAL DAY GET TOGETHER

Last night Janet invited all of us over to their house for a Memorial Day BBQ. Not pictured are the 6 boys all under the age of 5. All of Mimi's friends (L to R, Mimi, Olivia, Halliwell, Erin) have at least one other sibling. Hopefully by December of this year Mimi will have hers.

What happens when you put 2 girls + 2 girls together? The claws come out and someone's feelings get hurt. That's what. For the most part the girls play beautifully together. The boys were being boys. Rambunctious would be the best word to describe them.

Just before going home, I saw Halliwell crying. Did not know why though, so I asked Mimi "what happened?" Of course I got the usual answer "I dunno" Finally the story came out. Not sure of who said what but apparently someone ( I'm pretty sure it was Halli) had mentioned that she was having a sleepover with Erin after dinner last night and it was just going to be those two and not anyone else. Then Olivia said that she was going to have Mimi sleepover with her. Halli who can at times get very jealous of Mimi started to cry to her mom "Olivia said she is going to have Mimi over for a sleepover and not me.......". It's getting to the point now where Mimi does not share much info as to what she does in her free time because somebody somewhere ends up with hurt feelings.

The parents were having the time of their lives downstairs swapping stories about our wildlife out here in the country and catching up on the latest gossip and such. Mimi was quite pleased when she found out that her other friend Alex will be taking Karate this summer along with her and Blake.
