Chick-Fil-A

This morning we went to the library and got more books. We listened to 3 stories about monkeys. CJ loves stories about monkeys. She did not like them when we sent to the zoo and does not play with her monkey stuffed animals, but stories she likes specially Curious George. We then went to Beth and Sydney to Chic-Fil-A. The girls played for a long time. The cow came out to greet all the kids and CJ made a run for it. She was very scared of the cow, until she saw everyone giving the cow hugs and it come into the play area. She finally gave the cow a hug to, but it was after I had put my camera away. Beth and I went to Sams Club next and then to Beth's house, so the girls could play. We ended up not getting home until bed time and CJ was so tired that she cried most of the way home because her balloon popped.

This week and weekend has been mostly spent working on the planning of CJ's birthday party. I think that I have mostly everything that I need and how to put everything together. She is going to have a princess birthday. We are going to paint ceramics and make crowns. Saturday CJ and I went to the Jockey Lot to talk to a lady about pouring some models for me. I have to kiln, but no models and really not even share how to work in. There is no where around here that I can take refresher classes. It has been since high school that I did any type of pottery or ceramics, so I will have to just work on learning about my kiln for the Internet. CJ is just really excited about getting to paint. She loves to paint and I think that she could do it for hours.

Tomorrow is Garrett's birthday, so we are all driving to Georgia to spend the day with him, his mother, and her family. I always get so nerves about spending time with the ex-wife but normally everything goes pretty smooth. I just hope that it will this year. CJ is just hoping that Garrett will want to come back with us. I told her that he may not want to because he is a teenager with a girlfriend and may not want to leave to spend time with his 3 year old sister. She did not understand that.
