This was an odd day.  Nothing was routine.  GGM had a bad sore throat and they didn't want her to take care of Anna Kate, so for the first time Anna Kate rode along to take me to school. 

Barbara brought her into my house and Anna Kate sat on the sofa with me to get our picture taken.
I got to eat pizza at school today.

While I was at school, Barbara and Anna Kate took GGM to a doctor's appointment to find out that she did not have strep throat, just a bad sore throat.  Anna Kate stayed in car with Barbara.  GGM had not come out of the doctor's office, so they left to come pick me up from school.  Anna Kate slept the entire trip.  She sure is a good baby.
I was ready to get home because I knew Brad was off work today and he said we could go for a bike ride.  The drive from school to Tomball took FOREVER because of the traffic, rain, construction and more traffic.We didn't have to wait on GGM, she was waiting for us.

When we got home, Brad was not home.... so sad.  We took Anna Kate upstairs, still keeping her away from GGM.  I had some homework to do, so Barbara and I colored a turkey and talked about the Pilgrims and Thanksgiving.  We were waiting for Anna Kate to fall asleep, so Barbara and I could go pick up a prescription for GGM.  GGF watched sleeping AK, the 15 minutes we were gone.

Barbara had a gift for me: a globe.  She has been wanting us to study the Earth.  We found Houston, then Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nigeria, the North and South poles, and the equator.  We will keep studying so we can both learn some new things.

We had to quit studying my globe because Brad arrived home.  I was so excited, knocking on the window to get Brad's attention.  He waved back.  I said, "I'm out of here!" and I scampered down the stairs and out the door as fast I my legs would carry me.  Brad needed to go inside for a bit, so I just rode up and down my street (just the dead-end part of the street.) until he came back outside so we could go for a ride.  It was just misting a little bit of rain, but not enough to keep us from riding. 


When we got back, we both worked on waxing his old convertible.  When we finished it was sort of dark and Mommy was on her way get me.  Mommy took me to McDonald's for a Happy Meal.

I was so very good all day.  I just wanted more attention from Barbara than she had time to give me, since GGM was staying in her room and not available to help with Anna Kate or me.
