A Whirlwind of a Day

Cailean had to go into work in the middle of the night and then ended up on a roadtrip to fix a plane. Ugh! Ian went off to school this morning and then Gavin and I headed to the library to get some new Christmas books. We ran a few errands and then headed over to mom's. She went into work with a coworker who lives near her, so we could have the van today. Gavin and I took Aunt Cindy and my grandparents to the DMV, so they could get their NC identification cards. Then, off to another building at the other end of town to accomplish another task with them. Back to their house to drop them off and get my car back, then home for Gavin to take a nap. I actually had to wake him up to get Ian on time! When we came back home, Ian jumped into his homework while Gavin was playing. After they were "wrestling" around (I was wondering when this would start...it reminds me of my cousins in CA when I lived with them!) it was time to meet mom, my aunt and grandparents at Mimi's Cafe for dinner. Aunt Cindy has to fly back to California Tuesday afternoon. :(

I thought that maybe the boys could give each other a gift at Christmas this year. I figured Gavin is old enough to understand about giving. So, I said to Gavin in the car this morning, "Gavin, what would you like to give Ian for Christmas?" He replies, "I not Santa." I said, "Gavin, Santa is not the only one who gives gifts at Christmas." He says, "Mommy, I NOT Santa! I NOT Santa!" Oh boy!!!!! I HAD to call Cailean on that way!!! It was too funny!!!!!!!!

Busy Tuesday ahead of us. Both kids have school. I volunteer in Ian's class, but will not be able to stay the full amount of time because I have to be at Gavin's school for the Lunch Bunch (fundraising event). After the Lunch Bunch, then we get home to meet the sitter and then I'm off to my meeting. After that, I come home to get Gavin and off to take Aunt Cindy to the airport before getting Ian at school.

Our second basketball practice is Tuesday night! Go Armadillos!!!!!!!
