WHAT A DAY! Wow - I am pooped. Moira and her 2 buddies were here all day today. (2) 5 yrs olds, (1) 4 yr old and (1) 2 yr old. Let's just say I was busy ALL day! LOL! It was fun - the kids were great. Olivia was trying SO hard to keep up with the "big kids" - it was really cute. She did get knocked down a couple times and she also had the misfortune to walk BEHIND the swings a couple times and WHAM! Knocked down. Thank God she was ok. The poor kid can really take a hit! I took Moira and Brett out to Pizza Hut for dinner. They had both won coupons (from the school for a reading program) for free pan pizzas. Cool - cheap dinner! We get seated and ordered. Took a while to get the food but it FINALLY arrived. Just as the waitress started to unload the tray, I see my sauce fall (in slow motion, of course) and hit the floor. SPLAT! I feel a splatter of warmth on my left leg. I look down - sauce all over the floor AND my leg. My tan clad pant leg. With my new tan leather Etienne Aigner shoes on my feet. I whipped off my shoe (thank God for slides!) and inspected it, ignoring the apologetic waitress. Deep sigh of relief - the shoes are safe.. the shoes are safe. The pants? Well, hopefully the greasy orange "pizza" sauce stain will come out. If not, oh well. But - the shoes.... the shoes are safe.

I found out what caused the house fire on Sunday. An unattended candle. Scary.

Moira's playdate is on his way over. She also has a little buddy from up the street who also popped over. So - Moira and her 2 friends (both boys, by the way) will be here this afternoon. Oy. AND - Olivia wants to play with them too ::sigh:: God help me!

I *should* be going to bed.

Didn't do too much tonight. We all went to Walmart (ooh - the fun!) after Paul got home. Dumped a nice amount of $$ for what seems like nothing. I did pick up a couple cute things for the girls.. I saw these adorable denim capris for Moira that have daisies sewn on the hems. Very cute - she loved them! I made a bunch of copies of the Easter Bunny picture and will be sending them out to the family. The girls got a TON of candy - mostly gummy bears, worms, fish... ugh. I hate those things! Bleech! I MUST get my book for class - it starts on Wednesday. I will zip up there in the morning with the girls and then drive back up to class when Paul gets home. He doesn't get home early enough for me to buy it right before class. I did managed to wipe out my mountain of laundry.. I folded AND put away too! I am so proud of myself.
