I woke up early, happy to find Monk Monk in my bed.  Just like I do with my original Monk Monk at Mimz home, I carried him downstairs to the breakfast table.

I wanted oatmeal and bacon and milk.  Lots and lots of bacon, please.  I so wanted to go knock on doors to find children ready to play but I had to wait.   I played a little Texas Stride before 9am when I could go see if I could find someone to play with.   Barbara spent the morning going through my room looking for things to garage sale or to give to Anna Kate.  I wasn't quite ready to give her my doctor's bag.  Alyssa and I still play doctor a little.  But I agreed to give AK a stuffed Mickey Mouse, and Bradley three big rubber cars for little boys his age.  And there were a few other toys I gave them that Kristan said she would keep to give the kids one at a time.

I laid on my bed looking through my school yearbook.

Alyssa was the first child ready to play.  She and I went found mud to play in and boy did I get dirty.  I went home wanting to just wash my hands and wipe off the mud.  Oh no... it didn't happen that way.  I got in the bathtub to remove my shoes and clothes.  Grandma rinsed them out in the sink while Barbara helped me get my shower taken.  I was shocked to see so much dirt going down the drain.  I didn't realize it was that bad.  I thought now I was clean and ready to go to Bubba's tonight.  I didn't realize I would get dirty some more, but not nearly so bad before the afternoon was over.  Barbara forgot to take a picture of me.  She was in a hurry to get me into the tub before I got mud on the floor.

Finally all the gang was awake and ready to play.

GGM darned my leggings.  Thank you, Great Grandmother. Grandma came over to help Barbara get rid of some of her belongings.  Grandma tried to use the bike tire pump but she couldn't figure it out either.

Daddy came to get me in the middle of the afternoon.  I needed another shower.  Daddy said I could take one at his home.

I went to a birthday party Sleep-over at Bubba's home.

I was not home when Andy and Kristan brought over their babies for Barbara to babysit.  I heard the kids were very good and played nicely with all of my old toys and that Anna Kate barely let go of her new stuffed Mickey Mouse that I gave to her.
