I left work early to go to Jory’s daycare’s Halloween party. I thought we’d stay for half an hour, then jet off to AWANA. I got there and nothing was going on. There was only one other parent there, they were waiting for another parent with chicken and wings.
Jory sat on my lap and we watched Phineas and Ferb on TV. One of the workers turned on the music so the kids could start dancing in their costumes. Nada. It was a no go. The princesses were a big hit with the girls. Two of them were Ariel. One little girl was Little Red Riding Hood. I realized that I have no idea what Red wears under her hood, so until the little girl’s mother put her cape on I just thought she was a cute little girl in a long white and red dress.
Finally they decided to start the party without the other food because the mom was stuck in traffic. Time was ticking away, I hated to eat and leave, but we had to get to AWANA. Thank goodness, Jory was the second in line to get pizza. Pizza and goodies on one plate. The green Sprite threw Jory off and he wasn’t feeling it. Jory wolfed down his pizza, got another slice, and the clock was ticking away. I figured he could eat his cupcakes in the car. We said our goodbyes and took off.
We rushed home, got the girls, and raced to AWANA. For the first time, we’d be on time. We find a parking spot right in front of the girls’ Cubbies house, but I don’t see the table out. I see the parking lot is almost empty and the barriers aren’t up. Crap! Did AWANA get cancelled and no one told me?
I walked up to the Cubbies’ house when I saw the side door open. I saw one of the girls’ leaders and she told me, I was early. Cubbies starts at 7PM. Are you kidding me?!?! I thought AWANA started at 6:30 this whole time. Nice to know that I don’t have to kill myself to get there. We’ve got a little wiggle room.
