Barefoot in the Park

Another Year of plays has started!  I absolutely love going to plays.  I marvel at the talent of people. I love the group of ladies I go with.  The 6 1/2 - 7 hours we spend together goes fast.  We always meet and go to dinner first which is always a treat.  I get to sit in the front with Barbie because she drives and I go to her house and drive up with her to meet the others.  I guess next time I should offer the front to someone else.  I do like the front better and I bet others would too.  Next time I'll be nice.

I like sitting up front with Barbie though and visiting with her.  However, it wouldn't matter who I was visiting with because everyone is nice.  The play this time was Barefoot in the Park and it was cute.  I got thinking afterwards that there wasn't any singing in this one.  It was good though and the  actors did a great job.  This is the first time we have actually seen the actors cleaning up the stage so we got a picture with them.

I'm glad Larry understands my love for the theater and is usually happy to let me go.  He hates the Theater and so to show his love for me he lets me go and leave him home.  Tonight Larry took Kimi and Jared to a movie and out for dinner.  I'm glad he did....they need some special times like that too.  We all had a great night!

So Excited!

Mya was SO Excited to sleep over at our house on Friday!  She came in and ran to me and threw her arms around me and was simply ecstatic! She was telling me how excited she was and that she thought she would die thinking about it on Thursday.  She even dreamed about it Thursday night.  Now really...how cute is that?  She wouldn't let me go and was hugging me with her legs wrapped around me too.  It make my day!  Mya greeted Larry the same hours later when he got home!  It made Grandpa Larry's day as well.

It was Larry's turn to close up and so I decided that I would take Mya shopping for her birthday present before he got home.  Mya loves crafts and art and so I took her to JoAnns.  We had discussed her options before I chose a store.  She is such a good, considerate child.  I told her the amount we usually pay and she did the math and was very selective with her gifts.  I did let her go over because she found an owl at the end of her search that I could tell she really liked.  Mya never begs or wants and so I decided to let her have it.  She ended up with some fun things and got to work on them as soon as we got back to my house.  Oh my grands make me smile!

Mya wanted me to sleep out in the front room with her and so that's exactly what I did.  I slept on the couch and she slept on the floor.  Our heating is in the floor and so actually it's the warm place to sleep...I however think the floor is too hard.  We pinky promised that I wouldn't go get in my own bed during the night. ☺

My boys, Jared and Jaydan, love having the grands over too and chased Mya around. (Kimi loves it too and after playing with Mya for a bit went to a friends house) It was late and they still had her going.  I finally made them stop about 10:30.  I knew Mya had a friend party on Saturday and I knew she needed her sleep.  I could tell that Mya finally fell asleep about 11:00.  I was hoping she would sleep in but she awoke about 7:40 and was excited to see the sunrise.  The sky was pretty and pink when she pointed it out to me.  This little one reminds me so much of myself when I was young.

I made her waffles and she crafted some more.  We got cleaned up so we could go watch Jared play church basketball before I took her home.  We had such a good time.  I love having the grands sleep over for their Birthdays....It's just Fun!
