And they're off!

Saturdays are busy and fun.  When you put May Day AND the Kentucky Derby on the same day, well it is high drama at our house!  LOL  This morning we mailed Nana's May basket, and a small bit of jewelry and make up to Fiona. Then it was off to do banking and the library and dance class.  At the dance studio there were all these women sitting on lawn chairs in front of the school.  Say what???  This, it seemed ,was the ticket line.  The recital ticket sales were commencing this afternoon and people who clearly equate 5 and 6 year olds wandering aimlessly around the stage for 4 hours or so were literally queued up hours in advance.  Needless to say I was not one of them.  This production, sweet though it might be, will not be the Boston Ballet.  Nor would it be one of the musical artists  Rob and I saw at Christmas.  Sean Kingston I might wait in line for.  Tickets to this , not real likely.  Luckily I found out that if one was not a groupy, one could return about 3ish and one would not find a line.  So that is what we did. And in between, we played outside with waterguns, made cookies for Rob to bring to fellowship, delivered May baskets, made silly hats to wear during the Derby, and bought KC a new mattress and box spring.  The latter took the longest as just like Goldilocks he had to try all the beds (or very nearly so) to see which would give him his "beauty sleep."  He decided on a set and it turned out it was on sale (can we all cheer here!) AND he said he thinks he is getting tired of the Good Night Show and would like to try going up to bed with his bear at 7:30.  This will begin when his new bed comes on Tuesday.  Wahoo.  Three cheers. I am so hoping that this transition goes smoothly and that my laid back child led efforts in this regard are really beginning to come to fruition.
