Friday

Typical work/school day for everyone. Cailean volunteers in Ian's classroom, but will also talk to the kids about Community Service Helpers and he'll wear his inspector uniform. This afternoon I'll take the kids to the NC State Cross Country Meet. It's the annual event where we ask faculty and staff to come out and show support to our cross country student athletes. We went last year and the boys sat on hay cheering on the Wolfpack!

Nothing big planned for this weekend. Cailean is hunting. We have soccer practice and then regular Sunday schedule. I'm sure the kids and I will do lots of cleaning as we get ready for all the visitors arriving next week!!!! Aunt Sandi, Uncle Mickey and Aunt Ellen are driving down from NY. Jessica, Kent and the kids are driving up from SC. They'll stay with us while everyone else stays at mom's. We just found out last night, so when I told the boys...they started a countdown. They LOVE to play with Kaia and Lucas! Of course they already had a countdown because they knew Aunt Sandi was coming. :) My grandfather turns 88 next Sunday!

Well, Gavin is VIP today at school. He gets to bring a toy from home and he chose a nerf football. He'll be able to hold the flag, be the line leader and even take home the class bear for the weekend. So, we'll be having a visitor this weekend!
