Since Briana's birthday also happened to be on the last day of school, she got to take in treats for her class on her actual birthday, which has never happened before. So it was pretty much the best day of school ever. The girls got out at noon, so we took them out for lunch, and spent the rest of the afternoon playing with Briana's new stuff.
At one point during the afternoon, Briana went up to her room to play while Sydney and I went outside to work on a craft. Briana came tearing out the back door screaming "THERE'S A HUGE BEE IN MY ROOM!!!" So, I ran upstairs with Briana on my heels telling me, "I don't know what it was, but it was huge! And red! And it was buzzing!" I looked all over her room and found nothing so I told her to be on hightened alert and to come and tell me if she heard it again. Our mysterious red bee didn't reappear until bedtime, in the form of a housefly, this time in Sydney's bedroom. "There is no way I'm going to be able to sleep in here with a fly!" Sydney told me through tears as we read her bedtime story. "I'll send Daddy up to get it," I replied, passing the buck. Mike came down about five minutes later, hollering over his shoulder "Well, sleep in the hall then! I can't find it!" An hour or so passed, and I was ready to go up to bed myself. This is what was waiting for me in my room.
Not one, but two girls terrified of a little fly. Mike picked up Briana and took her back to her bed, and I picked up Sydney to take her back to her bed. In her sleepy state, she opened her eyes, looked at me and said "did you kill the fly?" and promptly fell right back asleep in my arms.
Happy Birthday, Briana!!!
