What we've been up to

Wow, is life ever busy - we've even had to call for reinforcements this week to get everything done. (How the heck do people that don't live near families/helpful grandma's do it anyway?)

Last week Gavin had track & field camp thru Johnston Community Ed Mon - Thurs. I love these programs because it's an inexpensive way to get kids exposure to all these different sports. Gavin, of course, loved it, and is now enamored with relay races and the long jump. They even had these kids throwing 2 lb shot puts!

Sam had week 2 with the nanny coming to our house and seems to be adjusting well. His little girlfriend started coming this week and they just have a blast together. He wanted to go to sleep at 6:15 every night which I soon discouraged when I learned he would then wake at 7:30 and party til after 10. He has become quite willful and opionated (read: naughty) so we are starting to deal with the terrible toddler's (since terrible 2 is a misnomer - starts way earlier and doesn't stop at 3!)

This weekend was the Johnston Green Days celebration so we spent time at the parade and the carnival. Sam had a bit of a rough time at the parade - sitting still is not his strong suit and he didn't really understand the point of catching candy - he just wanted to run into the street.

This week swimming lessons start for Gavin. He is just terrified of the water, so hopefully these one on one lessons are what he needs to get over that. It's also the last week of baseball games, so we have an activity every day Mon - Sat. At this rate, summer will be over before we know it!

We also just booked tickets to Orlando's Nick Suites Resort. We are just taking a quick vacation before summer is over and it looks like a blast for kids - no need to leave the resort.
