Brendan the bakerman and Aubrey the policegirl

This week at preschool, the kids have been studying community helpers. Brendan's class went to the bakery today for a little field trip. He was SO CUTE! His eyes were as big as saucers. He paid close attention to everything the baker was doing. Usually, he's shy in those kinds of settings, but he pushed his way to the front of the group so that he could get a close up look. He had to be told to step back away from the mixer because he wanted to look in so badly. He talked about the bakery all day. Guess I need to dust off my Kitchen Aid mixer and start baking things with him. God help us! I'm a disaster in the kitchen. The baker asked the kids if they watched their mommies bake and Brendan didn't raise his hand. Of course, he had no reason to. :)

When I picked up Aubrey this afternoon, she was wearing a paper badge with the letter "P" on it. I asked her what it was and she said, "I'm a police girl!!" And so she was for the rest of the day! So funny. She is such the little athlete. She runs circles around Brendan playing soccer and tonight she wanted her daddy to take her outside to play basketball. She's such a tomboy. She has started sleeping with a toy train. At least it's a pink train. What can you do?

I'd love to post pictures of the field trip and Aubrey the police girl, but I HAVE LOST MY CAMERA!!! Do you KNOW how sick I am over this??? I have NO IDEA what I did with it, and it's not a little point-and-shoot, it's a big digital SLR... How do you lose something like that? So, if you are reading this, please pray to help me find it. I'm not Catholic, but I'm not above praying to St. Anthony on my knees tonight. It couldn't hurt.

Friday night is Penny's Gold Party. I hope you all can come. Some of us girls might go out afterwards. You never know!

Until next post...
