We all scream for ICE CREAM!

LOL.

The kids got some Baskin-Robins gift cards for Christmas that we never got around to using - well I decided to take the kids one afternoon last week (after a very bad mommy morning - I'll continue the story below the pictures). The kids LOVED going and tasting all the different ice creams before picking the one they wanted. :)

So on to the bad mommy morning. First off, let me explain that in the fall trimester, when it was parent/teacher conference week, the kids had minimum day every day plus they had all day Wed. off from school. Last week was the winter parent/teacher conference week. So Tuesday night the kids & I were all excited, talking about what we'd do on their day off on Wed. I had to drop something off at mommy & me in the morning but I wasn't going to stay with the older kids. We went up there at around 9:30 am. I noticed my friend Kerri was there, which I thought was weird since her son (Eli's age) is in the same district as us so I asked her where he was "Um, at school." she said looking totally confused. I just said "oh, that's weird- we have to day off!" So we leave mommy & me and I get to thinking that maybe I should call the school. I did and the secretary answered and I asked if the kids had school and she said yes. YES! THE KIDS HAD SCHOOL. They have perfect attendance records. And I didn't take them to school b/c I was an idiot. I drove them straight down to the school right then so they were 2 hours later - better late than never, eh? Well they were really upset at not being able to have a fun day (understandably so) hence the trip to get ice cream that afternoon.

What are ya gonna do. hahahaha.

Perfect Attendance Records? You are SuperMom! I'm lucky if McKinley doesn't catch something every other week! Maybe it's the warmer California weather....I miss it (we still have snow in March!)
