week."
    "That's great. Next time you talk with her tell her I said hello and she had better not have forgotten about me all ready." She winked at me.
    "I will pass along the message."
    Then the sounds of tennis shoe stampede filled the air. I turned and saw the daily chaos of bows, hair, skirts, and backpacks everywhere. I spotted my little red head and smiled with a happy sigh.
    "I see Victoria." I turned to Ella. "It was nice to meet you. I'm sure we will see each other around."
    "Definitely," she smiled and waved.
    On my way toward Victoria I spotted a dark haired boy looking around on his tip toes.
    "Can I help you find someone?"
    He got really shy for a second and then peeked up at me.
    "I can't find my mom."
    "Oh, well let's try to fix that. Who is your mom?" I smiled at him and leaned down to hear his answer.
    "Lindsey Wright," he whispered.
    I smiled at him. "You know what I think Ella is over there waiting for you today."
    "Ella is here?" his face lit up and then a taller dark haired girl ran up behind him.
    "Come on Al! Ella is over there." She eyed me curiously before she grabbed his arm and pulled him toward Ella. I turned my attention back to Victoria who was looking at me with a large smile.
    "Come on girlie. It's time to go home!" I gave her a big wave over and she ran toward me. I saw the mischievous little smile on her face and knew what she was up to immediately. I put my arms out as she jumped up and wrapped her arms around my neck.
    "I got you." She laughed.
    "Yes you do." I carried her to the car, putting her down when we got next to it. "So, how much homework do you have tonight?"
    She shrugged.
    "Not too much, just some math practice." She groaned. Victoria had trouble with math which we had been working on each day. "I should have it done before Roberto arrives." She sighed.
    "There will be no Roberto for you today." I closed the door behind her after she was buckled into the back seat. I climbed into the driver's seat and closed the door.
    "What do you mean?"
    "Roberto is sick, so he can't make it tonight." I smirked. "But I have other plans."
    "Where are we going?"
    "It's a surprise." I looked in my rearview mirror and saw the apprehension on her face.
    About twenty minutes later I parked the car and opened her door.
    "Come on." I urged her.
    She climbed out hesitantly and looked around the large open area covered with twisted colorful metal and plastic. Kids were hanging from bright yellow monkey bars and sliding down neon orange slides that came out of bright blue plastic towers. I knelt down in front of her and zipped her jacket up a little more and then pulled her face to look at me.
    "We are going to have some fun." I smiled large and put my hand out for her. She took it slowly and I ran us to the large playground at the center of the park. "What do you want to do first?" I turned and looked down at her. She shrugged.
    "Come on, let's slide!" I pulled her toward the bright red steps leading to the blue tower. The slide had to be almost ten feet high. We got to the top and I pulled her in front of me in the line of kids waiting to go down.
    "I don't think I can do this." She wrapped her arms around my waist tightly, burying her face in my stomach.
    "We'll do it together." I stepped us to the edge and sat down with her between my legs.
    "Ready, set, GO!" I laughed as I shoved us down the spiral slide. I could hear her giggle all the way down.
    Hopping off the slide to make room for the next kid she turned to me.
    "That was…that was sooo cool!" She bounced with excitement.
    "Let's do it again!" I grabbed her arm, but this time she pulled me up the steps. After four more times down the slide she finally went on her own. I stood at the bottom and smiled at her face as she came down.
    "Can we swing?" She looked at me as she ran over from the slide. I was happy she finally loosened up.
    "Of course we can." I grabbed her hand and we ran over to the red and yellow swings. We took two free swings and
