11 weeks of Fun!

Well our weekly sleepovers have come to an end :( I feel an array of emotions, I am so sad that Krista will not be coming and hangin with us on a weekly basis but am also so happy and proud for my buddy! Krista went back to school after working full time to start a new career and that to me is so admirable. So many people work in jobs they hate for so long, Krista had talked about going back to school for a while and she just did it and that takes Courage. I have been so happy and proud of her for the past 2 years but now it is coming to an end, she is going to Graduate this June and I could not be happier for her!

Our weekly visits started off being in my mind all about me! I get to hang with my best friend for a night a week, I get to have girl time, I get to have laughs with my buddy , I get to watch shows with my friend, me me me me .. But what I forgot to think about is how much these visits will mean to my family! Toad gets so excited each Monday to help make up Krista bed, to spend time with his new best friend and say goodbye to her in the morning. Man this girl has a way with men..

In 11 short weeks about an hour a week she has cracked the stone that is our toad and got a few kisses , a bunch of hugs and even I LOVE YOU!! When I first told him her sleepovers were coming to an end he was so sad he almost started to cry :( so I said lets plan a surprise for her on her last night.. yeah 3 year old  boys don't keep surprises secret so I had to do it on a need to know basis.

So Tuesday I went out and got most of the supplies and then yesterday we got to work..

We got the posters made, hung the streamer and I had to blow up all those balloons AH that was almost like running for me :) but well worth it..
 The posters said

We will miss our Monday's

Way to go Aunt Krista (we knew you could do it)

Then the toad loves to bake cakes so we made the trip to the grocery store yesterday and here is our creation.. Kath this is a sad comparison to the last cake she got :) HA HA

Krista we love you so much and are so proud of your hard work. I know it was not always easy, I know you were scared at times and had sleepless nights but man oh man you did it with grace, courage and you should be very proud of yourself!

These last 11 weeks have made me smile and now not only does my husband want you to be his girlfriend but my son does too..
I can not tell you how important you being here has meant to me during these hard weeks. Your long hugs and loving spirit has been felt and appreciated.
Thanks for the memories and the Corona's and fun basket of treats!!
