While walking Coti this morning, Tatum spied in the sky 5 yellow vintage planes flying in a V formation. They had U.S Army printed on the bottom of their wings. It was a nice loud reminder of this special day.
Upon getting settled, Mama, Tot and I got our supplies out ready to finish the scrapbooks for the Foster kids.
Tatum made photo pages and I finished up the one I had been working on.
Mine was not as fancy as Mama’s, but I was proud of my work. The kids will love them. Mama really put so much time into them. I’m so amazed by her!
Then, it was time to make some flags to commemorate this day. We wanted to show pride for our U.S.A.
After painting our popsicle sticks, we glued them and cut out our blue pieces.
And tada!
We made sure we would pray at 3PM.
To remind us, it was time to wear her slap bracelets. This way, we wouldn’t forget, right?
These things were big when I was little! She loves these things.
Well, it was getting late and time for lunch, but of course, Tatum is into handstands, headstands, cartwheels and anything that requires contortions that make me wince. So…….she wanted me to watch her do her thing:
She’s getting it! Abs girl…abs!
3:00 rolled around, and we were on the way to the pool. We stopped as we were walking and said our prayer of thanksgiving and comfort for our fallen soldiers and their families. We have no idea what they have done for us. It’s beyond belief.
While at the pool, a bee landed on Tatum’s head and then crawled around. After my heart attack, I cuddled her tight. The bee had died, so he definitely stung her.
It didn’t seem to hurt as much as it hurt me, but all seemed ok.
Later, we had a nice dinner and she calmed down with some headstands. I showed her what I used to do when I was little. It’s all in the abs, baby!
I’m exhausted watching her.
Aaaaaahhhh. She is REALLY getting it!!
OK, Tot, time to color and calm it really down.
What a lovely day of art, appreciation, and acrobats. We sure appreciate and honor our fallen soldiers. God Bless America.
