end of winter break

Friday afternoon/evening I received a text message from Serenity's teacher. The kids were on break last week so it was a bit of a oh no what could be wrong type of reaction from me. it wasn't a really problem but it was a whoops on her part. While cleaning up the class on break she came across an invite for a classmates birthday party that was the following day. of course Serenity was excited and thankfully we didn't have anything planned. Her & I got ready the next day and we headed to the party. it was at a nearby roller rink. the only skates she has ever used before are the plastic ones you wear over your shoes. i was super nervous. i figured she would fall one time and she would be done, but she never ceases to surprise me. she got out in the little kid area and had a blast. she fell a hand full of times (once bad enough to cry some) but it didn't stop her from getting up every time and trying again. after that her & i had a nice little mommy daughter date and went to dinner & went window shopping for Xavier's birthday present. It was really a good way to end her winter break.
