Sleep over guest

Alex had a friend sleep over last night. It's only the second time she's had a friend sleep over. The first time didn't go so well. The other girl woke me up around 3am throwing up in the middle of my living room floor. That was 10 months ago. You can understand why it took me so long to let her come back.

The girls had a good time playing and Jude of course ended up sleeping in our bed. It was the only way I could keep him away from the girls. He wanted to play with the girls so badly, I almost felt bad for him.

Good times were had by all though.

Alex & the glasses

My daughter picked up a pair of fake eye glasses at Claires about a year or so ago. She picked up a second pair a few months ago and has been asking to wear them everywhere. Most recently she wanted to wear them to school. I said absolutely not but if you promise not to wear them in class you can take them to school and put them on afterward. Two days ago she came home telling me that her eyesight has gotten worse and the only thing that helps her are her "glasses". I've tried explaining to her that those glasses do nothing for her vision. I thought I had finally gotten my point across.

I spoke with Alexs' teacher today and she asked me when Alex needed her glasses and why I wouldn't let her wear them at school. WHAT?!?!?

After a brief explanation of the real reason Alex has the "glasses" her teacher realized that Alex had been trying to pull a fast one on her. As soon as I saw Alex I told her that her teacher had mentioned the glasses and she said "Uh Oh".

Can't blame a girl for trying!
