Catch up Post

I haven't taken the time lately to blog. So here goes and it might be a little long.

Friday the 27th David, Christy and I went to Disneyland. David got home early, they were scheduled to come home on Friday but Thursday afternoon he came home, and what was even better then him coming home early was that he had a four day weekend. So Friday morning we got up early and drove to Anaheim. We picked Wendy up and off to Disneyland we went. Wendy being the most awesome gal that she is got David into the park. We had a really good day. It was nice to spend the day together and just relax and have fun. The longest line was for Space mountain and that was the last ride we did. All the other lines went fairly quickly.
David and Christy on the tea pots. I do not ride the tea pots because I got sick. So David was a trooper and went with Christy.

Christy on the carousel.

David and I. Christy is getting old enough that most of the rides we went on she wanted to sit all by herself. I enjoyed that because then I get to sit with David. By the end of the day we were all tired and ready to go home.

I made these cards. Michael's is one of my new favorite stores, and whats really great is every week I get their ad and there is always a 40% off coupon. So I wait for the coupons and buy one thing each week. So cool.

On Wednesday the 25th the two second grade classes from Dewey Elementary went to Sea World. A few weeks ago the school sent home the permission slips and I signed for Christy to go and I also signed us a volunteer to go. Well come Tuesday afternoon still no word from Ms. Alan Christy's teacher as to whether or not I was one of the parents selected to go. And of course Christy had a substitute Tuesday. So Christy and I walked back to the school and I went to the office to see if they knew. No one in the office had any clue about what was going on regarding the field trip. Wednesday I told Christy that if Ms. Alan needed me to come that she could call me. So 8:30 comes around and the school calls and tells me that Ms. Alan said that I could go. So I hurried and packed a bag with some treats and some water and my camera, and off to school I go. Now let me just say that I was very excited to go on this field trip. I have never before had the chance to accompany Christy on a field trip. Well lets just say that after this field trip I am no longer anxious to attend field trips as long as Christy attends Dewey Elementary. When I got to school Ms. Alan asked which kids needed a lunch. Now I the assuming mother that I am(also having received no further communication regarding the field trip) thought that the school would provide sack lunches for the kids. Especially since the majority of Christy's class receive free lunch. No, I had not packed a lunch for Christy or myself! I told Christy not to raise her hand because I would just buy myself and her lunch there. So after the whole lunch issue we headed out to catch the bus. But not the school bus the CITY bus. Two second grade classes walked three blocks down a major street and crossed two of the busiest intersections and then walked two more blocks to get on the city bus to go to Sea World. We arrived at Sea World at 10:40 missing the special dolphin presentation they put on just for the elementary kids. There was no organization throughout the whole day. Kids were always lagging behind and Ms. Alan never took notice. It was up to us moms that went along to make sure all the class was together. The whole time we were there the kids saw the sharks, the penguins, the dolphins and we went on the Wild Artic ride. That is all the kids in Ms. Alans class got to do. Talk about disappointment.

Here is Christy at the sea star pond. She was brave enough to pick up the sea stars.

Ms. Alan and Kiersten. Christy took this picture.

Christys class minus three kids. Two of the girls were off doing their own thing, of course Ms. Alan had no clue that they were not with the class. And there is one boy who did not get to attend the field trip.

Saturday David, Christy and I headed to the beach. It was really warm Saturday. We had a picnic lunch on the beach and while Christy played in the water David and I tanned. The picture above is actually from a few weeks ago when we went to the beach with Alisha.
