Wednesday

We're in the process of trying to get the boys excited for school since they start in the next few weeks. Ian will find out his teacher on August 24 and then his first day is August 25. Gavin goes September 2 to meet his teachers and meet 1/2 the class for 30 minutes and then that Friday he'll go for a little bit without parents and just with his classmates and teachers. He'll go full swing on September 9. Mom took care of getting Ian his school supplies off the list, but we still need to get him a white t-shirt. We'll probably head to the shoe store this weekend to get his new sneakers, too. Ian seems to be excited to go back to Kingswood...Gavin on the other hand...LOL...we shall see!

Ian likes camp this week, but sometimes wishes camp only lasted "20 seconds." hahaha He made a birdfeeder out of a pine cone, I think. I'm pretty sure that is what is hanging from our tree in the front yard. He told me about it, but I think I forgot! Gavin had his swim lesson this morning and also spent some time in childcare with the Cricket Club. When I got home from work he said his friends didn't want him to leave the Cricket Club, but he told them he had to get home to see his family. LOL

Cailean took today off from work, which was very helpful. I felt bad because I had a presentation at work this afternoon and we didn't have any luck for childcare. This is a busy week for me at NCSU with classes starting up next week, so we have quite a few orientations and paperwork to complete along with getting things lined up. I don't work too many Saturdays, but this Saturday is one of them. I think he enjoyed watching Gavin in his swim lesson and taking Ian to camp today. He even took them to get haircuts!
