Whirlwind

Haven't blogged in a few days! Sorry! On Sunday I was fighting a sinus infection and didn't have a lot of energy. Ian spent the afternoon with mom and Gavin chose not to take a nap to help me out. We went to the grocery store and had a humiliating moment. My card was denied (zero balance I might add). Left the groceries in bags with the checkout person and got into my car with Gavin. I called Cailean and turns out we had to use our new cards starting on Sunday. Yes, very humiliating.

Sunday night we had a great dinner with Megan and Rob (I work with Megan). We took them out to dinner at Brixx since they gave us the elliptical. They are such wonderful people and the boys were great!

Yesterday morning Gavin and I ran some errands after we took Ian to school and then went over to mom's place because Uncle Mickey is here for a quick trip. Spent a few hours over there, came home to put Gavin down for a nap (denied), then went to Kingswood to play basketball when Ian got out of school. Cailean met us there and then we had our parent/teacher conference with Ms. Braun. Obviously it went very well and Ian is doing OUTSTANDING! Then, we went over to mom's for dinner. Cailean stayed longer than us because he was helping Uncle Mickey install a ceiling fan for mom.

This morning both kids had school. The boys were dressed, ate breakfast, brushed their teeth, sneakers on and all set for school. It was sorta early. So, I got the DVD out that dad sent down from 3/17/09. His band performed at his work and dad got it taped. Now, most kids would probably be interested in Curious George or some other cartoon. No, not ours!!!! LOL They watched dad's entire DVD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They LOVE watching their Grandpop and at times they were waving to him! LOL LOL They both claim they want to play the drums AND the bagpipes. Hooray!!!

So, we get into the car and guess what we had to listen to? LOL The Catamount Pipe Band's CD! Can't get enough of Grandpop and the bass drum as well as the bagpipers. We were out of the CD for a few weeks because our first one stopped working (it's always in my CD player). Dad sent another one down because they were yelling, "We NEED Grandpop's CD for our trip to Disney!!!" So, Grandpop to the rescue...nice little care package for the trip! Phew!

I didn't go into Ian's classroom this morning like I normally do (sorry Ms. Braun!!!). Instead I took care of a few things around town and then packed a bunch of stuff and piled things in the spare bedroom for the trip. I felt like I needed to take another shower after all the running around.

Gavin and I are about to go pick up Ian at 3:45pm, then head over to Stride Rite for new sneakers (gotta love the coupons, but still trying to find that money tree) for both. Then, to SuperCuts to get Ian a haircut (Gavin got his over the weekend). Then, trying to figure out dinner before heading to the soccer field for the Sharks' first soccer practice!!!

I can't wait to tell the boys that we are heading to HOTLANTA to stay with Uncle Matt and Alissa!!!! The four of us are driving down June 10 (Ian's last day of school) and coming home that Saturday night. My brother is taking the 2 days off and taking us to the Aquarium, Centennial Park (I want to see my brick that Aunt Sandi bought me in 1996), another park to play soccer, possibly the zoo, Chucky Cheese and bowling. Cailean said that Uncle Matt might need to get ready for Uncle MATT Summer Camp with Ian and Gavin each year! LOL LOL So yes...we are VERY excited that we're finally getting down there. It's a break between end of school for Ian and the start of tball.

Okay, that is enough updating for now...I'll post more later!!!
