What a BLAST!!

Saturday at the Cheesecake Factory with all my blogging buddies was SO MUCH FUN!!!!  I laughed so hard, smiled so much, talked way too loud and drank too much peach iced tea.   My husband took care of the girls and ended up dropping me off and picking me up.   As soon as I got into the car I told him to hurry home because I needed to go to the bathroom REALLY BAD!  He asked why I didn't go when I was there...well....I didn't want to miss anything!!!!

Here are a few pictures....

Rachelle from What the Teacher Wants...obviously:) and the lovely Hadar (Miss Kindergarten)!  I got to sit across from both of these AWESOME ladies and talk...talk...talk!!!  Rachelle was the guest of honor and I just LOVE her!!  She is so funny and so sweet.  We were all so excited to meet such a humble blogging celebrity:)  You could talk to her for hours because she is just so awesome!  I felt like I knew her and it was like sitting down with a good friend:)

Hadar...sorry about the leg...but I won't go there;)

Kristin (A Teeny Tiny Teacher) and me:)  I really wanted her to wear THE DRESS and order some steak, but she just snickered at me:)  I was so jazzed to be sitting next to her!  She is also so sweet and so down to earth.  I could just squeeze her...so cute!!

That's me and FRAN (Kindergarten Crayons)!!  I LOVE HER!!  Do you even know how happy I was to be sitting next to FRAN!!!  I told her that I wanted to volunteer in her classroom so I can keep my feet wet...but really...who wouldn't want to hang out with THE FRAN???

Kristin, HEDI, Fran and me!  That is Heidi...THE Heidi from Hedi Songs!  Heidi was so sweet to bring a stack of her DVD's.  Oh boy...the squeals of delight that came over the table!  Thank you, Heidi!!  The girls and I had so much fun singing about our sight words today:)

I actually crawled UNDER the table to get this picture...but hey...wouldn't you crawl under too?  

Rachelle, me, Hadar and Traci!

I really wanted to talk with my birthday buddy (Traci) some more, but we sat too far and it was SO loud!  Traci is just so sweet!!

There were so many of us and not enough time!  I wanted to enjoy everyone, but the time went by way too fast.  I can't wait until the next meet up!

We were VERY loud!  The nice waiter took our picture and it was the only time it was silent in the Cheesecake Factory:)  I am sure everyone was happy when we left!

So many lovely ladies!!  I felt to blessed to be around so many sweet and kind women!  Everyone was a delight and we all just enjoyed one another so much!

I had a blast...I'm thinking I need to get out more:D  There are so many more blogging friends that I wish I could meet!  Until next time...
