And M is pretty sure he'll be off work before 2:30, so that might not even be an issue {he can pick Nate up if he gets off early enough}.

So 12:30 or 1:00? THe park by FCC is right there off the main street Winco is also on. Any bus stop near winco would get you there. You will see big grassy area, lots of trees. Big playground by the parking lot (its a good playground too and a covered area with tables) there is also a smaller playground off through the trees and lots of walking trails. I may let Maddy bring her bike if I can find her helmet as there is a loop she likes to ride there. So you post a time and I will be there. WIll check again in the am as we are off to watch Enterprise.

What to make quickly for a 6-7 year old girl for a bday gift? No money need something I have everything here for. Is an eye spy bag to babyish? Maddy does not play with hers really, only occasionally but she sees them all the time as I make a ton of them.

Probably between 12:30 and 1, yes. That park sounds good to me! I think I should be able to find it without trouble. Hopefully the weather will be lovely again like it was today!

Nate likes the bag you gave him, though he's more apt to be tossing it around than looking through. A quick tote would be good. Hmmm... what do kids like? I feel so out of touch!

Okay, I might not be at the library this morning after all. I will be at the park, but I might come home after dropping the kids off at school and crash for two hours. I know Ali will need the sleep. Right now I can barely string together two coherent words, I'm so tired. She woke up just as I was going to bed at 1. And she stayed awake until five minutes ago ~ at SIX. I have not slept. I have to start getting kids up for school in less than an hour. I tried everything to get her to sleep and yet she was still wide awake and twirling through the house when M was getting ready for work. I don't know what got into her. She didn't fall asleep until I turned on Sprout and went to take a shower. I have no idea how I'm going to wake her up in an hour to get the kids to school. I'll probably just plunk her in the stroller or something and then come home to sleep a bit after dropping them off. This stinks.
