I don’t always get to pick up Gillian from school, so I really look forward to my Tuesday pick up. Tonight, the kids were outside playing when I arrived. I watched Gillian run across the playground with Dorlisa and Nicholas. She didn’t see me. They ran over to the climbing wall and Nicholas said “Gill, your mom’s here!” She turned around, saw me, and then ran to the other side of the playground, staring at me the whole time. She noticed I was holding her pumpkin and she ran to me. “That’s my pumpkin!” she told me. I said “Yes, you picked a nice one. And I see you made me a hat too.” She laughed and said “No! It’s mine!” Gillian and her class went on a field trip today to Huber Woods and they got to pick pumpkins, go on a hayride and make a fall crown. Gillian had a great day and I had an amazing pick up.
