So how many days are we down to now????

Obviously this is a different year for us than last year. Definitely have our time and thoughts elsewhere.

We have been busy.

Matthew and Jacob went camping this past weekend with his Cub Scout troop. Jacob complains - and then always has fun and is very excited about everything he does at Scouts. Matthew was exhausted (I know how he feels).

Layne and I go camping this weekend with her Girl Scout troop. Sounds like we will have 10 girls and 4 adults. We will leave early Saturday morning and come home Sunday late afternoon. My sister Melanie will appreciate this - one of our badges is "Mudpies" we are going on a nature hike through the swamp / mud. Hated when I was 8 years old - not sure if I will like it much more at age 42 years. And yes - I know I need to put on a happy face with the girls in the troop. Uggh!

Busy week.

Monday - Layne had soccer practice. Matthew took the boys also so I could run to Costco on my way for a baby shower at work on Tuesday.

Tuesday - Jacob had his Scout Pack Meeting. He had his ceremony tonight for moving up next year a grade level. They painted his face. He was pretty proud of it. He doesn't want to wash his face and wants to go to school like that tomorrow. Kind of looks like war paint - not sure how well that will go over. Kind of hoping it rubs off in bed tonight. Jacob and Layne have CRCT testing today. They don't seem to be as stressed this year.

Wednesday - Matthew and I will meet with the attorney in the morning and sign our paperwork for Bankruptcy. After all the ups and downs - I have little faith until it is a done deal. But, we are another step closer - and I need to look at that as a good thing. We have Wednesday night dinner at church and the kids have choir practice. This will be Joshua's last practice before his Choir Concert next Wednesday. Tomorrow is the last day of CRCT testing for Jacob and Layne - Yeah!

Thursday - I have a 6:30 a.m. meeting and a long day at work with Dr. Flamini being out of the country for the week. We will get to go have dinner at my parent's house on Thursday night and have fun and get to visit some more with Aunt Louise who is visiting this week.

Friday - I have to go to Costco again and then our van is the Camping Girl Scout supply van. So I get to go to Miss Gretchen and Miss Dawn's house to pack the van.

Saturday - Layne and I leave at 8:00 a.m. The boys are on their own.

Will post a pic later - Matthew says that Wendy took pictures tonight of Jacob in the Cub Scout ceremony.
