John had his first day at his new preschool today. By the time the whole bunch of us were signing up, they only had afternoon spots open, so he goes from 12:30-3:00 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Today my afternoon alone. He’ll be home any minute to tell me how much fun it was.
I had my own fun. I ate lunch, cleaned the kitchen floor, started some laundry, then TOOK A Nap! Not a huge nap or anything, but a nap just the same. And it was so nice! I think I can get used to this afternoon preschool thing.
Of course, I thought about going to the grocery store or the school or some other such errands, but I really wanted my first day of preschool to be relaxing. I hope John enjoyed it as much as I did.
I won this from Julie at 
 We’d like to thank Julene for making that fun fire hydrant cake! I was looking at it and I said, “you forgot a letter.” “What?” She thought I was kidding, but sure enough, if you look closely, you’ll see:
that we’re wishing him a Happy Birtday. No worries, he’s four. Julene could not believe that, and started thinking she could take some of the white frosting and squish an h in there, but we wouldn’t let her. This is her first ever lettering mistake, after all. So, yes, we have to embarrass her and point it out. Cause we’re so nice that way. Anyway, all the kids wanted fire hydrant pieces (made from twinkies!) and loved the cake.
And Cole got to try on the suit. He didn’t really want to, but we made him. Because we’re such good and loving parents. 
All the kids, even the big ones, seemed to really think those fire trucks were cool. And it was free! I did take a giant cookie and a thank you note, which they seemed to appreciate, but they didn’t charge me anything for the tour.
  They also enjoyed the pinata. But what group of boys (or girls for that matter) doesn’t enjoy hitting things with a stick with the intention of breaking it to get candy out of it. Whoever invented the pinata was really brilliant.
