Wow have we had a busy and fun day. And it's Friday. Two days with Steven home. Yay!

The girls and I all woke up in great moods. All four of us were laying around on my bed just being silly when Juls noticed my Jewelry boxes. She had never noticed them before, and to be honest, I hadn't opened them in awhile. So we went through them and looked at all of my sparkly and fun jewelry. They each picked out a bracelet to wear and then chose one for me along with a necklace. Of course they chose my beautiful mother's bracelet with their names on it. (Sadly it was made pre-Keira...good excuse for another one, LOL).

Then, in our PJs and bare feet, we hopped in the car and drove to McyD's for breakfast. Such a treat. Did you know they make kid's meals for breakfast? So the girls got little stuffed Puppy toys.

After breakfast it was time to get dressed and ready for our big day. We had plans for a playdate at Animal House. A bounce house type place. So got the girls in some comfy bouncing clothes, packed some socks, and off we went. It was pretty busy but the girls had a blast. I got to chat with some Moms. My BF was there along with Julia's. So she was in heaven. Sevi discovered the water fountain with a stool in front of it and was quickly soaked. Haha. They had fun and I had a nice time. I do have to brag on Sevi. She has been in panties for a week now. She made it through the few hours we were at Animal House without and issues. She went once while we were there and tried another time when I asked her to. Woohoo!!! So proud of her.

On our way home I had to stop and get gas. Well Sevi knows they have bathrooms and it is an easy excuse for her to get out. SO she pulled the potty card. So out we go. All three of us in tow. Into the bathroom and nothing. But at least she tried. As soon as I opened the door, both girls bolted out and went straight to the Slurpee machines. Go figure. We were all hot, so why not. We all got Slurpee's. Well, not Keira. Hers would come out later.

And then the coolest thing happened. You will think I am crazy, but I believe and that is all that matters. There is this song called "Holes in the Floor of Heaven". It has been a special song dear to my heart. I had been meaning to get it onto my iPod but kept forgetting. I finally got it on this weekend but had yet heard it go through the shuffle. About 10 minutes into our drive home, that song came and......it started raining. I kid you not. This is actually the 4th time this has happened. Steve was even with me once when it happened. Coincidence? I think not. I believe it is just a small reminder that my Mom is watching over me and is proud of the life and family I have now.

Here are the lyrics to the song so you can fully understand....

One day shy of eight years old,
When grandma passed away.
I was a broken hearted little boy,
Blowing out that birthday cake.
How I cried when the sky let go,
With a cold lonesome rain.
My mom smiled, said: "Don't be sad child.
"Grandma's watching you today."

"'Cos there's holes in the floor of Heaven,
"And her tears are pouring down.
"That's how you know she's watching,
"Wishing she could be here now.
"An' sometimes if you're lonely,
"Just remember she can see.
"There's holes in the floor of Heaven
"And she's watching over you and me.

"Seasons come and seasons go,
Nothing stays the same.
I grew up, fell in love,
Met a girl who took my name.
Year by year, we made a life,
In this sleepy little town.
I thought we'd grow old together,
Lord, I sure do miss her now.

But there's holes in the floor of Heaven,
And her tears are pouring down.
That's how I know she's watching,
Wishing she could be here now.
An' sometimes when I'm lonely,
I remember she can see.
There's holes in the floor of Heaven,
And she's watching over you and me.

Well my little girl is 23,
I walk her down the aisle.
It's a shame her Mom can't be here now,
To see her lovely smile.
They throw the rice, I catch her eye,
As the rain starts coming down.
She takes my hand; says: "Daddy don't be sad,
'Cos I know Mama's watching now."

"And there's holes in the floor of Heaven
"And her tears are pouring down.
"That's how you know she's watching,
"Wishing she could be here now.
"An' sometimes when I'm lonely,
"I just remember she can see
."Yes, there's holes in the floor of Heaven,
"And she's watching over you and me.

"Watching over you and me.

Watching over you and me.

Watching over you and me.
