The parent aide replied to the email from my daughter giving me persmission to be at her visit today.... This is a treat as I get to see the kids one extra time this month!

It's a later in the day visit, so I have home made stew cooking now and will have dinner with them. Today it's chilly out, so stew is the perfect warm them up food! I'm not sure of an activity we can do, but I think just kicking back and enjoying the time will be a treat for us.

Wow, I get to see the kids today!

Could you pick up small pumpkins from the grocery store and take markers or paint for them to decorate the pumpkins??? Whatever you do with them won't matter. They will just be so happy to see you!! Have fun!!!

This visit was bitter sweet.
Going into the visit I was informed that if things don't go right for us in court on the 4th, this may be my last time seeing them. My daughter has a visit on the 2nd. She is trying to see if she can get all of us at her visit. If she can't get permision, then this was last time I see the kids, unless things go our way on the 4th.
Wow, here I was just excited to see the kids an extra day and thinking of pumpkins and then I was hit with this news. I knew deep down inside there was something with this visit.

I'm having a pretty tough day and it's not even 9am here!
