Friday Fun

 Friday was the big day, the one Cora and Sophia were talking about for about a month.
The SLEEPOVER!!!

Sue offered to have Cora spend the night, and on Friday after school she took the girls to Magic Mountain, with some other friends of ours.


Grandma walked Cora in as her "buddy" on her buddy pass, and then used her discount to buy dipping dots.

The girls did a craft in Bugs Bunny World, along with the carousel and trick-or-treating.

They had a ton of fun, before heading home for dinner, more playtime and a movie.

 

 Meanwhile, Violet had earned 20 marbles, so Stace and I took her out for a Friday night treat: a trip around on the mall carousel. She was so excited, talking about it all through dinner. This is the first time we've taken her on the carousel.

 We also got a special dessert at Shave It. I had a buy one, get one coupon, so we went large, and took a lot of it home. Should have told Violet beforehand that we were planning to stretch this treat over a couple of days - she was in tears on the drive home about not being allowed to finish it!

Later, with Violet asleep, we got a call from Sue. Cora was overtired but not asleep, missing us and wanting to come home.
The next morning, she was distraught about what she'd done. It was hard to comfort her, and hard to hear her so disappointed in her decision to come home. These things happen; better luck next time!
