Wanna know a secret?
Ok, lean a little bit closer to the screen and I will tell you...
I skipped school today!
No one was sick (although I did have a doctor's appointment later in the afternoon), I didn't clean the house a lick, Lola went to daycare and Kyan went to school.
I took the day for - ME! I don't think that I have done such a thing prior to having children, all of earned leave has either been used for maternity leave or to take care of a sick child, never to take care of me!
So you wanna know what I did?
*Slept in an extra hour.
*Walked Kyan to school while Lola rode in the stroller - a first ever and let me tell you this was a highlight!
*Sent pictures off to the Queen of Hope pageant coordinator - long overdue.
*One hour combo massage - could have been longer but I had a date with Kyan (keep reading).
*Lunch alone, the silence was golden.
*Volunteered in Kyan's classroom today during his Pumpkin/Fall Celebration!
I wasn't expecting to take the day off, so when I did, I emailed Kyan's teacher to see if it was too late to come in and help with the party?! Being a teacher, these times are few and far between that I actually get to go into my own kid's class, so it was perfect that they just happened to have something going on the day I had off! She emailed me back right away and told me that I could float (and take pictures for her!). I didn't say anything to Kyan about possibly going in, just in case she was swamped with parents and I wasn't going to be able to go, so he was so surprised when he realized I was there! In fact, I walked into the room, talked to his teacher and crouched down beside him before he knew I was there! He was that focused on making his Candy Corn Man!
During their celebration, the kids made Candy Corn Men, Pumpkins (both the inside and outside of one), decorated their own cupcake, Bracelets, and went Pumpkin Bowling!
And we even snuck in a picture together!
Kyan's class!
I had so much fun today and it just solidified the fact that I want to be a stay at home mommy (or have a job where I can be flexible with my schedule). It was wonderful to be able to volunteer in Kyan's classroom. He talks about the other moms that go in and help (either in the class or at lunch) and today I got to be one of those moms, even if it was just for one day...
Today was the best day.

Okay - that sounds like an absolutely wonderful, much needed, and absolutely perfect day!!!
I loved this post & had the BIGGEST smile on my face for you & your special day. I hope you get more of those in the future.
P.S.- I have never seen Kyan look MORE like his pretty mommy in that picture- love it! How lucky his teacher was to have your help, especially with that photo of all her kids!

You need more days like this for sure. What a great day too.
You got some really cute pictures. Makes me want to be a kindergarten teacher! NO?! HA!
At least they had a pro there to help out. I have a feeling Jayla won't appreciate me being around as much a Kyan loved having his mommy there.
