Friday morning bright and early mommy put me in the car at 6:30 AM!!



We were going to Walla Walla with daddy . We planned on making strawberry jam with Nana! We dropped him off at work by 8 am--ate breakfast at Nana's then went downtown to mom's favorite consignment store to find me a bathing suit! The store did not open until ten so we had ten minutes to play at the little park on the side of the store! We then shopped (bought nothing). Went back to Nana's to put the flat of stawberries that was delivered in the cool house--went out to Klicker fruit store to get 22 more pounds of strawberries! Made lunch and suprise daddy came to eat lunch with us!! We then strated making the jam-----mommy took me on a ride to get me to sleep---and we stopped at Kmart to check out their bathing suit selection---G fell asleep 6 min on the way home from Kmart! When I transferred her into Nanas house she woke up---UGH! Of course Cole and Aunt Sheila were there so NO WAY was I going to be successful again----about 3:30we went to Wmart to get more pectin for the jam and G collapsed into the cart -closed her eyes and slept 50 min!! TOOO CUTE!! (why do they fight it so and by now she could have been awake from a nap and her cute self???) On the way back to Nana's ......... I get a phone call from Lee--(4:30) Are you comng to get me?? OOPS --I totally forgot to pick daddy up from work!! So we dropped Nana off got Lee -finished the jam and went to dinner at the Mexican restraunt with papa nana uncle scott aunt sheila cousin blake (17). G and Blake colored while we ate dinner. It was cute listening to her talk with her cousin and I got no picture! We went to DQ and then back to Nana and Papa's to divide the jam up and get jammies on for the ride home! What a fun **fun **fun Friday and got home at 10:45 pm!

Sounds like a fun and busy day! That is a lot of jam! Gretchen is a great helper. I don't know why they fight sleep so much. I guess they don't want to miss anything!!
