The Enchanted Kingdom

I took the kids to the "Enchanted Kingdom" today at the UU church. We were there for FIVE hours.

Each room was a different theme; the fairy princess room full of dressups and a teaparty table, the castle had all sorts of "royal" dressups, a "banquet" table, and two thrones. Made magic "wands" out of sticks and feathers and beads in the Forest Room, the kids loved the "under the sea" room, and we made paper lanterns in the "Far East" room.

They had so much fun; I hung out and chatted with some other parents and the UU people we've met when we went there a couple of times and through Jemma's school.

October

It's cold. I'm up too late. At least Jing is sleeping through the night tonight (so far). Last night was rather rough; she was having very angry dreams and apparently it went on through the night and into the morning. Woke yelling at the top of her lungs several times and even when I brought her in with me, was ... angry. In the morning wouldn't look at me; wanted Jemma to take her hand.

What things she must be working out in her little psyche. To topit off, I took both kids to the dentist and learned their appointment was NEXT Thursday. Jing was upset - she likes doctors and dentist visits. Jemma had left the house without socks or jacket and looked like she was just out of the rescue mission. (no offense to those who use such, it's just that she was wearing no socks and my jacket with the sleeves rolled up).

Pretty much just one of those bad starts to a day. Tomorrow is Friday with lots of Halloween doin's happening around these parts tomorrow and Saturday. I am toying with the idea of going to a contradance in South Amherst and taking the kids to the child care provider down there.... we'll see.

Off to bed.
