The Weekend

Emberly got of the bus in tears on Wednesday.  Because her teacher handed out wristbands to those who had pre-purchased fall festival tickets and she did not get any.
I didn't really want to go the fall festival.  I don't know why.  Because it's hot and I've been running a lot and... blegh, I just want to spend my Friday evening on the sofa.  With chocolate.  And wine.
But, I resisted my party-pooper urges and made a deal with her.  If she got "excellent" on her behavior chart for the rest of the week, we would go.
And she did, so we did.
It was fun!  Especially seeing how excited she was to run into friends from school.
