Snowy Saturday + Girl Power!

Saturday was a fun day for us this week. First off, Emma & I got up super early & headed to her final tball game of the season. We were out the door by 8am. Unfortunately, the league had apparently canceled the game due to rain on Friday but no one thought to tell our team that! So, after waiting outside a locked field for almost an hour, we all just headed home.
Then it was time to go to the snow. And no, we didn't have to drive for hours. TJ's school, which is just around the corner, was doing a Winter Snow Day where they brought in 30 tons of snow for the kids to play in, along with various arts& crafts, snacks, & photo op booths. Emma, being Emma, refused to go see Santa & Mrs. Claus because "It's not December yet... We'll talk next month." *sigh* This kid.... But we did get some other cute pictures of Emma, TJ, & Hayden. We also ran into Samantha, Carson, & their parents  so the kids all had fun playing together.
After a quick lunch at home, Emma & I headed out to Cal State for a scout event hosted by the Kappa Delta sorority. It was all about enabling girls with the self confidence to be themselves and know that they can accomplish anything. What a great message!
By the time this was over, it was evening and we headed over to Tim & Jen's for dinner. But, as we were driving, Emma was complaining that her belly hurt. I heard some gagging noises in the back and quickly pulled over. My little trouper unstrapped, jumped out, widened her stance, and puked all over the street. Yep, she came down with whatever TJ & Todd had earlier this week. But she didn't make any mess in my car, on her shoes, or in her hair! That is talent... especially for a 5 year old! So today was pretty much just a snuggle & relax day. Luckily this seems to be a short lived bug and she is feeling quite a bit better already.
