turned that frown upside down

I looked at the clock and it read 7:58 a.m.  The french toast breakfast was cooking in the oven and the fresh strawberries had just been cut up and piled into the bowl.  We were now anxiously awaiting for daddy's arrival only for my phone to ring.  "I'm not coming home today hon."  Oh.... once again, complete devastation.  Normally it would have been ok except that I was really hoping to get some help today since my son stole 3 hours of my sleep last night.  Today is his last t-ball game, closing ceremonies and pizza party.  I can totally do this.   In the 2 minutes it took me to write this I turn around to find my kids are "cooking."  Pie dishes, mixing bowls, water and crackers sprinkled neatly around.  I can get through this day.

I can get through this day because this is what I signed up for.  I know there are mornings I will get that call saying he won't be coming home.  I consider it a good thing that it bums be out because it means we love having him around.  We miss him when he's gone.

The "baking"got a little out of hand and turned into this:

There are leftovers if anyone is interested...

Wyatt finished his season of t-ball with that smile on his face the whole time.  Best surprise of the day was that Anthony was working at the station next to the ball fields and he got to pop over to say hello.  He didn't miss the last game after all!

I used the hire a youth program to get my car washed and I highly recommend it!

When the youth finished their work they needed to cool off.  This is what you do when you don't have a pool...

The day was finished off with dinner at the airpark.  

I loved today.  It wasn't what I had originally planned yet it was perfect.  I was happy, we were happy.
