....Yesterday my sweet girl started 4th grade{gasp}! It was bitter sweet... She seemed big & small all at the same time. She had packed and re-packed her book bag about 8 times the day before {wanting to make certain ALL was in place for the BIG day}. I think her new teacher is the perfect fit for the class {and Prissy loves her cute dresses & jewelry- ha}. I decided Wednesday night to make the 1st day of 4G a "yes" morning. When she asked to take more snacks than humanly possible to eat... I heard myself say "YES"! When she asked for a squirt of perfume & if she could wear lip gloss? I said "YES" again. When she asked if I could curl her hair like for picture day? I smiled {knowing that she is growing up} & plugged in the curlers! Then she asked if I could ask Mrs. Z a few questions that she didn't want to ask {where do I keep my water bottle, am I allowed to have extra markers, can my mom do recess once a week}? So I said "YES" {of course} yet again. Finally when A-man & I left her.... I squeezed her neck & she whispered in my ear- "Momma you'll be back to get me right?" "YES" I whispered back........ with a lump in my throat!

So when the A-man asked {after 2 hrs of errands including the market without a toy aisle} for this when we stopped at a tag sale on the way home.... I said "YES" even without thinking! We were sad without our sweet Prissy & needed some retail therapy- ha! He rode that thing for an hour when we got home....

Then we picked Prissy up. She said the best part of 4G is that Mrs. Z loves arts & crafts! I chuckled as I listened to every little detail. It made me realize that we were gonna miss her even more tomorrow...
*****
So... I let Prissy & A-man help {stirring in EVERY last ingredient- YIKES} me made blueberry granola bars! This is all that is left after last night & lunches today.... They LOVED them!
