Today was the last Friday of work for me. It was the last day of Guppy for my kids until school starts. It was the last full day at Guppy ever for Caleb. It was the end of that chapter for us as we will never have full time Guppies again.

Work was eventful. It was our field day. We walked to a park that is about a mile and a half away from our school. Then, the kids got to do all the games that were planned. This took us until lunch time. The kids got hot dogs and chips and cookies for lunch. We had a pot luck thing going on with BBQ meat. After lunch the some of the teachers played kick ball against the kids. Not me. Kickball brings back too many bad memories for me.

We walked back to the school building around 1:45 p.m. We had only been back in the building about 10 minutes when it started storming like crazy. I guess we'd made it back just in time. The storm got so bad we had sirens going off again. We had to take the kids into the hall and have them get down for about 10 minutes. The storm ended just in time for us to go home. It was still raining slightly, but the storm part of it was gone.

Tonight I'm really tired. I'm wondering why I agreed to let Michaela have a sleep over tonight. They are so noisy. I hope they realize they are NOT going to be noisy all night. In about 10 minutes I'm enforcing the quiet activity rule. As in watch a movie or play a quiet game or something like that. They can get into their pj's to help them feel more calm and relaxed.
