Ok I probably shouldn't be rejoicing quite that much, but I did just drop the girls off for their first day of preschool! And in keeping with their personalities, this is how it went:
-Rachel broke from the crowd and headed inside like she owned the place. She went straight to her classroom from last year and started pushing a stroller around. It took a few minutes to convince her that her classroom was down the hall. Once we turned the corner she left me again and turned left in to the classroom. Her classroom, however is on the right. Finally headed her into the room without a goodbye, hug or kiss. Nothing. Oh well, bye Ray.
-Riley pretty much clammed up. She knew we weren't going into the old class but she was none too happy about going into a new class. However, she sucked it up and stoically walked into her class by herself.
-Rena. Somewhat slow to warm, she wanted to take bunny (aka bud-a) and me into the classroom. She agreed with whatever anyone said to her without actually accomplishing anything that was being asked. Bunny will spend the day waiting for her in the bookbag. I gave her a kiss at the door and headed out. Once she's throught the door she'll be fine. She actually makes friends really easily and the teachers already love her.
So, what I'm I going to do for the next 3 hours? First of all I'll just be enjoying the quiet. Then laundry and general cleaning up. There will be plenty of time for mindless tv and other quiet activities later, but for now I need to get moving on cleaning the downstairs, at least. We have the girls' birthday party coming up this weekend and it's got me a little stressed out. Damn hurricanes. Which way are they going and where are they bringing rain. I've got an outdoor party planned.
A princess party in fact. It's been fun getting this party (sponsored by Disney) together. We're having a big jumpy in the backyard and food. That's pretty much it. If it rains I'm screwed. Not completely. The teacher in me always keeps a few tricks up my sleeve.
These are the cupcakes for the party. Aren't they the cutest damn things you've ever seen!
By the way, I don't know why the pictures look fuzzy. Click on the picture to make it bigger and clearer.

CUTE pictures, and cute cupcakes. I hope the storms miss your area completely.
Enjoy your time alone today. I'm doing laundry today too.
Those cupcakes are soooo cute! What fun, a princess party:)
the pictures don't look fuzzy to me. And I'm a tad jealous of your short time of freedom.
