The joy of field trip day!!

Today I drove for Sophie's class field trip to the library. I had all girls in my car which I was totally appreciative for. I have put in my time with the boys for all of Tiler's school parties and field trips all the way up to shopping with him and another girl crazy boy in the mall for homecoming clothes. So, I deserve some all girl time when I help with the class. The girls chatted very seriously about one of the Jonas brothers having diabetes and how it affects his life and they were so polite all of the way to the library-and they didn't stink up my car either. When I got to the library one of the other Mom's looks at me with this frazzled look and says "oh, these boys, one wanted to spit out of the window and the other one was throwing popcorn around the car and then when your car of girls passed them they got all hyped up and were screaming.......aaahhhhh........girls are good I thought to myself! For a moment I even forgot about "girl drama".

BUT, here is the thing about girls. In the classroom before leaving for the field trip the teacher is explaining to the kids that they can take their snacks and water bottles in the cars because the library does not allow food and we will be gone during their snack time she then proceeds to give other rules and at the end asks the kids if they have questions. Many hands shoot up into the air as kids ask how many books can they check out, sharing that they have been to the library before, etc etc. My darling daughter has her hand raised to the sky patiently waiting to give her input. As she is called on she clearly states to the teacher, "it's okay with my Mom if you take snacks in our car, but you better not spill anything because she is SUPER picky about that!". Of course this is hysterically funny to everyone except ME!!!!!!I mean what is that, I CANNOT and I mean CANNOT imagine what else she tells her class, and I am NOT picky about spills in my car....just for the record!

Here are some pictures of my little storyteller and her friends at the library!

This is Kenton who she has a very special bond with-he is like a brother to her!
