doing things

We went to a planning meeting for our homeschool group yesterday, at the beach...  It was beautiful.  L had thrown up that morning from the smell of citronella I spilled...  Thankfully P was able to give us time from 10:55-1:15.  We had such a lovely time at the beach with friends and got a lot of good planning done with the moms.  When it was time for our family to head home I gave the kids a 5 minute warning. 

M's best friend's (PF) float got blown away and she went after it.  My best friend (Q), M's best friend's mom, went after her daughter.  A short while later, I looked and saw that M had gone too.  PF has done competitive swimming and did lifeguard camp last year.  Q is an avid swimmer.  When they realized M was following them they chose to come back because of her safety. 

I didn't realize the danger she had been in and was just annoyed we were really pushing against a hard time limit.  I'm glad she is OK.  I'm glad she had the good sense to do all her work when we got home and write a letter to Q apologizing for the situation. 

M made some cards to invite girls from school to her birthday party.  She looked up the address and hand wrote, on cute cards, all the details.  I love it.

 A bag of things from the floor was recently returned to the girls and they were happy that their onesies still fit. 

M was wearing her choir shirt and wanted to eat so she squeezed herself into one of these bibs.

She has so much joy.  We went to see the musical Grease at her middle school with our friends.  These shirts were made and worn by the 5 of us.  A bedroom scene made us uncomfortable so we left at intermission and our friends took us out for cold cow.  Yay!
