Sunday ~ The hustle and bustle caught up with us.

Sunday morning we went to church. Kalie had Ms. Meredith (her favorite) as her Sunday morning teacher, which was GREAT! (Our church rotates the teachers on a six week schedule which is not very good for Kalie.) The sermon was very thought provoking.

We made our usual trip to Wal-Mart for a newspaper and Sunday treat. We also bought cake mix for Katie’s Birthday cake. Our community group celebrates birthdays and Katie’s is coming up soon (march 5th). Since she only had to work until 6:00 (which is rare) we choose to celebrate it early! Kalie made her a wonderful funfetti cake!

We spent the afternoon watching movies, baking and relaxing. Kasie had big projects, papers and tests to prepare for, so we took her back to NGU around 2:00. Kalie and I ran a few errands and then arrived at Melissa’s house (community group) around 5:45 (only 15 min late). Dinner was great, Katie got there earlier than expected and everyone was happy!

Then our melt down … it was time for cake. Kalie was so excited. We took the foil off the cake and the icing had gotten smushed.

So all of her hard work was ruined! The cake was terrible! Everyone hated it! No one was ever going to like her again! Katie was going to find a new better little sister! (All Kalie’s words.) She cried and cried.

We all ate the cake, it was wonderful. I think the past few days of busyness had caught up with her. We left after dessert and missed the sermon discussion and prayer time. I know that it has affected how I feel this week but as a mom you have to do what is best for your kids. Kalie needed to go home to regroup and clam down. She has not had a melt down in a few weeks. She has made wonderful progress and will continue to get better (I hope). So it was right to leave.

We spent the rest of the night just chilling. Katie decided to stay home and return to school very early the next morning. She is a great big sister!
