Did I tell you what we’re doing next weekend? No? Didn’t think so! Well, my family and I are going camping. Camping, yes, I’m going camping! For those of you who know me well know that I’m a city girl. I don’t mind the outdoors, but I’m not one who enjoys mosquitoes, chiggers, getting dirty & sweaty, and “roughing it”! Sleeping in a tent? Haven’t done that since I was probably 2 when my parents took me camping (unless I’m just dreaming that up)! Today we set up everything to make sure we had everything we need, like tents, sleeping…

Dear Alex, I’m not one for writing sappy letters anymore, but I was just amazed over the week we spent together during Spring Break. You amaze me. You discover and learn each every day. I love it when you say T-to (thank you) after I say thank you. I’m trying to teach you to say you’re welcome, but I think you’d rather say T-to instead. When I say I love you and you reply with wa-wuv u. Then, I say you need to say I love you too and then you say three! That’s hilarious. I find it quite humorous…

Appetizer Name a trait you share with your parents or your children. I’ve realized lately that my 2 year old how observant he is. He notices change quickly. That’s a trait that I have.

Today Rob and I celebrated Valentine’s Day. Remember how we celebrate it late. We had lunch at Red Lobster, while Uncle Nick watched the kids. I really enjoyed myself. We stuffed ourselves. We have so many leftovers, it’s not even funny. I’m on some new meds, which I think it’s interfering with my appetite. Anyway, so I gave Rob the movie, Fever Pitch and a couple other things. He got me the movie The Notebook and an autographed copy of Going Places! Yes, Rob now reads my blog.

Ok, why is it that work weeks creep by, but spring break flies by in the blink of an eye? It’s Wednesday already! Yes, I’m sorry for those of you who work year round and I know I’m lucky to have off when I do. I just can’t help it. I’m dreading going back to work, because for 2 straight weeks the kids will be taking the SAT10 and the ARMT. Yuck! Normally when I have a day off here or there I spend it cleaning, washing, you know all that fun stuff called house work? So I told myself…

Here’s Alex after having his first real haircut at the Barber Shop. He watched his Daddy and big brother get a haircut. When it was his turn, he sat up there. He didn’t utter a sound. He sat still. He was perfect! Drew threw a royal fit the first time he went there. I think having a big brother to watch first helped him know everything was going to be ok.

It’s crazy that my baby is turning 2 on Tuesday! I just can’t believe it. Where HAS the time gone? It seems like just yesterday when he was born. We’re celebrating his birthday next weekend, because Rob’s mom and step dad were out of town this weekend. Tuesday, Drew has his Den meeting, where he’ll get his Bobcat. So we’ll be busy with that on the *big* day!

My Dad recently came to visit and it was great! Here’s a few pics from that weekend.

Sorry I’ve been MIA, but this past week has been hectic. Friday we had an Auburn Diamond Club banquet. Then, my dad, who I haven’t seen since 2002 came to visit and I was really excited that he was able to come. We enjoyed the beautiful weather by walking around on campus while showing him around. We ate lunch at Chappy’s Deli and dinner at Cock of the Walk. Today we just hung out here and then we made homemade pasta for dinner. The boys really enjoyed seeing him. Alex has never seen him and Drew didn’t remember him. He…

Yawn… I’m so tired! The party with the five boys plus mine went pretty well. They enjoyed the surprise, which was an Auburn basketball game. He wasn’t thrilled with that at first, but Drew got to meet some cheerleaders and had his birthday announced during the game. After the game, we came back and they played. We did pizza for dinner and opened presents. They played more, and then we did cupcakes. Through the night, they had some spats. Four of the five kids spent the night, so it made for an interesting evening. We let them watch a couple…

Monday is my older son’s 8th birthday…sheesh!! I can’t believe it. Nothing like waiting to the last minute! So I’ve spent my afternoon calling moms to invite their sons to come over for a party. Not only a party, but a ‘spend the night party’! Yes, I think I’ve gone CRAZY! They’re being dropped off at our house tomorrow before lunch and then, we’re headed to a surprise for Drew. The Moms know, but the boys don’t know because we wanted it to be a surprise. Oh, and did I mention I have a math workshop that I’m required to…

Friday night, Drew said, “Mom, you gotta look in my folder. There’s something important in there!” I asked him to bring it to me and I found an envelope with his full name printed neatly on the front. I opened it up as a large lump found it’s home on my throat. I was pretty nervous with anticipation! Inside were 2 blue sheets of paper. One was a letter from his teacher, Ms. B, which said she would be taking a leave of absence to seek medical treatment and proper recovery. Ms. B had been out quite a bit before…
