Happy Saturday!

Oh the weather outside is frightful...but our day was pretty delightful. I took Hannah to Little Gym this morning. She hadn't been in two weeks (b/c of the plague that consumed us) and she was super excited. She was having such a blast all through the class, then right at the very end- before the final goodbye song- tragedy struck! One of the twin boys in her class, named Dash and Jag (trust me- the names are self-explanatory), decided to charge full speed at my child and send her flying backward onto her bottom. The father was totally preoccupied with the other twin and didn't' see it happen, so little Dashy (or Jaggy) kept right on running. Hannah picked herself up and started her hyperventilation cry. Some of the other parents and kids saw what happened and came over to console her. She cried through the goodbye song, but calmed down after we left the gym. Her teacher gave her some extra ladybug stamps and she was in a good mood again. On the way home from class, she brought it up in the car and said "Mommy, that boy pushed me away" "That wasn't nice!" I told her that he was just so excited and that he probably didn't mean to be so rough. Of course, in my head I was thinking ..."damn kid.., hope he trips on his shoelace and eats it!"...but good Moms don't say that out loud I guess :)
Later on, Hannah went down for a nap. I left Sadie with Chad and headed out into the holiday madness to get some Christmas shopping done. I must say, I'm very proud of my thrifty shopping today. I knocked out 3 people on my list for under 40$ at Old Navy!...Then went over to Target and got stocking stuffers for everyone. It was nice to get out and spend some time alone...even if i was exposed to the insane drivers that live in Winchester VA!
Tonight at bath time, Hannah and I were making silly faces...here are her best ones. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
