Day 19:

Grateful; Warmly or deeply appreciative of kindness or benefits recieved.

Today is play-date day! Finally. haha! All morning Anna was jumping around giggling in excitement for it! She wore high piggy-tales in her hair, because that's what Lizzy always has. So we dropped her off at school, and went back home! Me an Av had a loooonnnng time together. :) I put her down for her nap, and cleaned up a few things! Then when she woke up, off we went on our walk! Because we had so much time, i wanted it to be long, and worth our while,,, and it was. :) We walked all over town, the sun was shining, with an occasional cloud here and there. They got this new dohickey for her stroller, it is like a sleeping bag that you slip her into, and she just sits there looking like a queen! haha! She fell asleep about halfway through the walk. By the end of our little stroll the sky was blanketed with a thin layer of gray clouds, and the wind was picking up,, perfect timing. We went inside and played around with the toys for a while, then it was time to get Miss Anna from Miss Lizzy's house! The drive there is way pretty because it is right along the water with all the sailboats floating. We picked her up, and she was in a grumpy mood because she didn't want to leave. :( Bummer. We made it all better by going and getting slushies! These things were incredible! They had like 20 flavors of slushies, like cotton candy (Anna's choice), chocolate chip, peanut butter cup, cookie dough (my choice), and keep in mind this is ice! They were so stinkin good!! Then we went back home, played with some good ole magic goop, and decided it was such a pretty day, we couldn't waste it all inside, so we went over to the park,, again. haha! We just love it there! Anna made some new friends, like she always does, and Ava wouldn't stay in her stroller for anything, so i walked around holdin her. :) We came back when it started getting dark, ate a snack, and waited for el parentals to get home! They did, and while dinner was being prepared, i got on good ole skype with my beccer-lou for a bit! Then i chatted and ate dinner with the family! When that was done, i called becs back, and surprise, Evan was there too! They were going to go to a movie. :) But decided i was important enough to talk to me for a bit! I loved seeing both of them. When that was over, i called my home, just to see if anyone would answer! And guess who did??? My Blakie Boy!! :) Yay! So i talked to him, and said goodnight! Love love love love. I am grateful for today.
