Western Day

Today was Western Day in Cleo's class at daycare.


She and two other kids wore Western-themed stuff; they both had pink cowgirl hats. She was the only one that went all out - but she did not have a cowgirl hat. I looked for a cowgirl hat at the Dollar Tree but was unsuccessful.  While at the Dollar Tree, the kids suckered me into buying coloring books and helium balloons.  Cleo got a Captain America coloring book and Sidney selected a Thor coloring book, the store did not have a Hulk coloring book.  I got Cleo a tiara shaped "Princess" balloon and Sidney selected a yellow happy face balloon.

This summer, Cleo and her classmates wrote to Tim Hudson, a pitcher for the Atlanta Braves baseball team. Cleo received 4 tickets in response to her letter.  I did not know until today that she wrote the letter and she did not recall what she wrote in the letter.  The tickets are for a Saturday, September 1 game; the Braves are playing the Phillies.  I am excited because Roger and I have been discussing taking Cleo and Sidney to a baseball game again.  My work friend gave us tickets to a game last summer. Cleo enjoyed it a lot. Sidney acted up a bit and we left after the 7th inning stretch.  Her best little pals also got tickets so I hope the tickets are for the same day and we are all sitting in the same section. We checked the location of the tickets in the stadium and they're in the top most section.  Even though the tickets aren't good, the kids will still have a good time.

Tomorrow I will be attending one of my company's subsidiary's monthly management committee meeting. Every other month it's in Dublin, GA (2 hour drive south from our house).  The alternating months the meeting is in Austell, GA which is a 15 minute drive from our house. Thankfully, tomorrow it's in Austell. I have to give a 15 minute legal matters update. I am not too nervous right now because there is not much new to report.  I always get a little nervous right before I have to stand up and give the presentation.  I am the only woman who attends the meetings.  I have been attending them since May 2009.

After the meeting ends (which should be around 3:00pm), I am heading to Walmart to do some comparison shopping for school supplies. We still have to get a few more school supplies for Cleo.  Her school posted its supplies list and we got a lot of items but still need a little more.

I will also shop for ingredients for the vegetable pasta salad that I am making and bringing with us to Cleo's BBQ playdate at her pal Alexandria's house on Saturday.

Cleo is going to Lego Land with her daycare class on Monday, July 23. She is very excited. The Lego Land here in Atlanta is not as big as the one in Florida. The one here is located in Phipps Plaza, the fanciest mall in Atlanta.

Sidney did not eat his dinner tonight.  I guess his growth spurt is over - kids typically eat a lot when they're going through one.
