"Hot Wheels"

This evening was our friend Sophy's fourth birthday party. And it was at the skating rink. We've never done the skating rink. Mommy enlisted Daddy's help for this one! Two little Ledet's on wheels! We started out trading our shoes for skates. Landon, you reminded me of Bambi on his new legs! You and Daddy practiced first on the carpet, and then you hit the skating rink floor. And you hit it again, and again, and again! I checked with the attendant and changed out your very loose wheels for some that were a little stiffer. Then, you did really great. You palled around with Maddison and Jaelyn. Y'all were pretending that you were putting on an Disney on Ice show. Shelby, you had an awesome time. But you wanted very little help. You looked so cute in your pink tutu trying to roller skate! Your wheels were pretty tight, so you were able to manage pretty well. Once y'all were set, Mommy and Daddy let loose. Mommy spent many hours on roller skates back in the eighties, and it had been many years since I'd had them on again. But just like riding a bike, we were back! And neither one of us fell one time. I'm sure we'll feel it in the morning, however!

"Fundraiser Fun"

In our first weeks at Stockwell, we were hit with our first fundraiser. You know, the wrapping paper, the gifty type items, the chocolate covered everything. We sold a little, but we really wanted to be able to participate in the two incentives: the Mega Bash party and the limo ride to Johnny's pizza. Healthquest made a donation to make that possible! You and about fifty stinky feet kids piled into the gym for a dance bouncy house party for about thirty minutes. You all had a lot of fun, and hey, you were out of class! The following day was the limousine ride. You had never ridden in a limo, so you were pretty excited! Overwhelmed but excited! We had two stretch Cadillac Escalade limos filled with dozens of little people eager to chow down on as much pizza as your little tummies would allow. When you got to Johnny's Pizza, you settled in and had about two pieces; pretty good for you. And then Daddy showed up to surprise us with our new car! A Cadillac SRX! We love it. Finally enough room to stretch out and haul more kids!
