A day with Sis

Today the boys were in Little School from 9am until 2pm. I took full advantage of my freedom and spent the day with my little sis, Paige. She had the day off, so we went straight to the mall. We shopped a little for some of our family members. While we were going up the escalator, we saw a famous face going down the escalator. Some of you guys might not now who I am talking about b/c the famous person is on a soap opera called Days of Our Lives. It was Jennifer from Days. I remember reading that she was living in Franklin now. But it was weird seeing her in person.
Anyway, after the mall, Paige and I headed to get some lunch at a little restaurant in the Factory of Franklin. They have great Chicken Salad sandwiches and soup and many other goodies. We then headed to a little antique place off 2nd avenue in Franklin called Harmony Home. I have written about that store before. We love going there to get one of a kind gifts. Paige went with me to pick the boys up at school. They were very surprised and happy to see Auntie Paige there. The boys had a great time at school. They made lots of crafts. Will came out with half of his face painted red. When I asked the teacher what happened, she said that they had fun with the red markers at craft time. Will must have tried to paint his entire face red. It looked like he had the chicken pox. We took Paige back home and then headed back to the house. I hadn't been home since I left this morning, so I needed to clean up just a bit. After a few minutes of being home, the doorbell rand and there stood little miss Miranda our 3 year old neighbor, wanting Will and Jake to come play. We went out and let the boys play a while. Rebecca (Miranda's Mom) and I love to talk catch up since the last time we talked (which is usually only a couple of days!). She is great to talk to. She has really become a good friend. She is trying to get pregnant right now and is having a tough time. She is going through her 3rd round of Invitro. We pray that it takes this time b/c it will be the last time she can try.
It started raining about 30 minutes into our playtime outside, so we all scurried in out of the rain.
We ordered a pizza tonight for supper. I didn't feel like cooking. I couldn't have gotten away with that 50 years ago when my Grandma was a mama. But, I say, if Grandma were here today, she'd tell me to order a pizza every night of the week!
The boys were over-tired tonight so it took them a while to get to sleep. We kept hearing little footsteps jumping out of the bed and running around. Finally after enough threats from Mom and Dad, they wore themselves out and went to sleep.
Another day in the life in the books....write more later, Lord willing.
