excess baggage

...today has been marked on the calendar as 'room mom big event day'... no toddlers allowed in my agenda... daddy daycare for the am.... sooooooo imagine my horror when the daddy has a 105 fever (we got it down fast), chills so bad he's violently shaking in his comaesque sleep, can't lift his head off the pillow on the couch to even acknowledge that i walked in the room.... hmmm a mischievous 2 yr old and a 4 year old who needs repeated assurance we have not left the house without him running around with this parental situation for care.... not on your life.... so in comes my excess baggage... not so bad only two errands, on one she demanded a pink frappuccino to ease her hunger pains, at least i said no to the chocolate muffin to go along with it, a 25 minute taco bell run, and i smuggled them into the school and classroom where they were greeted by baby squeezing, toddler hugging, 8-9 yr old little girls.... it ended up working out ok... noahs teacher gave a ton of math manipulates to rae and luke, upon which they happily emptied in one quick dump in her library in the corner of the room and they went to town... later they joined the big kids for gingerbread making.... rae rae's had '10 belly button's 3 eyes, 2 noses, marshmallow hair, and 'tap shoes' of course... after she woofed down a pile of miniature chocolate bars... daddy would be so proud...hahaha, luke's had all the right components, very colorful, neatly compacted toward teh center of the gingerbread man, noah's has a giant moustache, big chocolate shoes, and fangs not breasts! seriously child art..... i love it...
