Bring Your Child To Work Day

On June 19th, my work had "Bring Your Child to Work Day". It is usually in April, but this year, it was moved to June. All of the kids had to be at least 5 years old to participate, so I was really excited when they moved it to June because Anabelle turned 5 in May and was able to attend. YEAH!!

The kids went on an R&D tour and watched the "mad scientists" do some really cool experiments...safety glasses required! :) Anabelle's favorite was the marshmallow experiment. There were also crafts, BINGO, a scavenger hunt, etc. When I asked Anabelle what was her favorite thing, she said the scavenger hunt. When I asked her what was her least favorite thing, she said nothing. She loved everything!

We had a nice lunch together, which consisisted of Jimmy John's sandwiches, chips, and cookies. YUM!

It was so funny to hear what the ladies at work had to say about Anabelle while she was playing and I was working. (The Administrative Assistants wore red shirts and were the helpers for the kids.) Deanne told me that when she took Anabelle potty one time that Anabelle told her that she needed to put toilet paper down on the seat just like her mommy always does. We were cracking up at that!

Then, Sue told me a funny story about how Anabelle kept checking with her on where she had put some of her stuff....she wanted to make sure that Sue didn't lose it. :) Sue asked me "How old is she?? She acts so much older." I told her that Belle was 5 going on 15! :)

We had such a fun mommy/daughter day together! Can't wait to do it again next year with BOTH kids! :) If they thought Anabelle was a hoot, just wait until they meet Brady! :)
