Breathe

We have known for months that this summer was going to be busy, busy, busy and busy. But, now it is upon us and I am already tired. Not complaining...it will all be fun, it will be great family time, but it does make me tired.

This weekend, we are wrapping up Reid's room. Damon got it painted this week and started putting her new dresser up tonight. Tomorrow, we will start moving her furniture back in, put up the blinds back up and hang the curtain rods (granted, I have no idea what I am to do for curtains, but she will have cute rods!). Tomorrow and Sunday, we will be up at o'dark thirty to drive to Ponca City for the Summer Sizzler swim meet. Jackson is swimming two races each day - 50 meter free, 50 meter back, 100 meter free and 100 meter back. We have fun at swim meets and Jackson really likes it.

Sunday afternoon, we will get back and go into full - getting-ready-to-leave-for-church-camp mode. This is Jackson's first sleep away camp experience. Damon is going as a sponsor, so we need to get both of them ready to go. Now, to remember everything they need! They leave Monday morning at 7:30 a.m. and won't be back until Thursday night. I mailed Jackson a letter today, so he will have mail when he is there. (I remember that was one of my favorite parts of church camp - the letters from my Dad. I wished I had saved those.) Reid and I will spend our week going to work/day care, swim lessons, and trampoline jumping. I am sure we will miss the boys, but they are going to have a great time.

This weekend, I also need to get Reid's birthday party invites done. We are doing her party at ConocoPhillips Gymnastics and she has already picked out a SpongeBob birthday cake. Note to self....order said cake.

  1. Sounds like you are definitely busy as usual!The church camp sounds like a lot of fun, and that is a great idea to send a letter. Reid's birthday party sounds like fun. When is her birthday?

  3. Reid's birthday is actually December 30, but we decided to have her kid birthday party on her half birthday. December is just really an impossible time to try to put together/pay for a birthday party.
