Luckily, the rest of the week she felt better and went back to school. Tuesday, Noelle's Mom messaged me asking if Mia was feeling better because Noelle missed her. Awww..Mia was glad to go back. Wednesday after school, we delivered her friend Hayden her birthday party invitation only to discover that Cecilia was playing at her house as well. Upon us arriving at the door, there was high-pitch screams of excitement coming from both Cecilia and Hayden with Hayden yelling "HOW DID YOU FIND ME!!?!?!?!?!" They couldn't believe Mia was there. Never knew my kid could have that kind of impact on her friends. Hayden didn't know the previous weekend, Mia and I were out delivering the Hogwarts letters to her friends and didn't leave one with Hayden because she wasn't home and had no way of sticking it in their door. Well, the kids played for a while and when Cecilia's Mom came to pick her up, Cecilia pleaded with her to let me take the girls to StoneFire Pizza. Her Mom couldn't go, so I ended up taking the dynamic duo. So we went back home, Mia finished her homework and I took Remi out for a pee before returning to Cecilia's house to get the kids over to StoneFire.
Wednesdays, they're half off which is why we wanted to do it on a Wednesday. I never anticipating the place to be THAT busy. Cecilia was instructed to return closer to 7pm for bed time. We didn't get to eat till about 6, so by 6:30, we were ready to play games. The blew through the game cards pretty quickly and didn't get a lot of time to play. They played Space Invaders, Air Hockey and a few racing games before picking out prizes. I think both her bummed they couldn't stay longer, but Cecilia has an early bed time, so we had to split. They both grabbed slushees on the way out. Mia said her goodbyes when we dropped Cecilia off, and we were on our way. Overall, it was a lot of fun and I hope the next time we go, we can go earlier and bring other friends. Thursday, I drove out to Waterford to photograph 4K-5th graders for candid year book photos. It was pretty fun, despite the confusing school layout.
Saturday, Mia's cousins Easton and Camden came over and we went to the park. Not the warmest weather out, but still fun. Mia scooted and chased them around. Later, we went to lunch before they went home. The night before, Cecilia's Mom texted me about asking if Mia wanted to sleep over with Hayden and Cecilia. Mia was totally for it. For some reason later in the day, she switched and didn't feel like it. She ended up going over and playing with them as well as Harper, Hayden's sister while Jill and I chatted with the parents. I gave Mia the option if she wanted me to return home to get her overnight bag, and I could tell Cecilia REALLY wanted Mia to stay over, but Mia sadly opted not to. It turns out she was nervous there would be too many people over at Cecilia's house like the previous gathering when she had 6 women dancing. I think Mia was worried she wouldn't get to sleep or something. So, later we split and watched a movie. Mia got tired a bit before 10 and crashed. She wouldn't have lasted with her friends who at the time, probably were still awake. She'll sleep over again some time. It was nice to chill and hang out while the kids played.
Sunday, I watched an entirely disappointing Chelsea vs City match. The lack of urgency and passion is ever so present and I don't know what's going to happen. They're sunk in 5th place without that spark that won them the Cup last season. They've got a Barca UCL match coming up and really need to haul ass to get motivated to beat the giants.
Throughout the weekend, Mia's been crazy obsessed with jump roping. I never even knew this kid could jump rope. In previous years, she'd attempt it and get pissed and not want to do it. She's actually really good and can even jump rope one footed. Super impressive.
This week, I've got another school to photograph and there's talk of snow returning. Yuck. Thanks for reading!
