We had a great time this weekend in Nashville. We celebrated mom's 70th birthday with the extended Layne Family. Then later that same day we celebrated Mychelle's 50th birthday with family and friend's of Mychelle's.
Thank you Matthew for spending the whole day on Pool Duty. He was in the pool from shortly after we got there until dinner. The kids had a blast being in the pool. So glad we had good weather.
It was great to see everyone. It has been a while since we have been able to get together.
We ended up getting heavy traffic leaving Murfreesboro and with stopping for lunch / dinner we didn't get home until after 6:00 p.m. Atlanta time. Must continue to try and remember that Joshua does not miss a thing. I do say quite frequently to Jacob "please focus" as he can go on a tangent and he doesn't pick up on anything else. So while we were going home and talking about getting dinner at Fazzoli's, Jacob must have asked 3 times where we were eating. Finally, Joshua had enough, and said "Jacob, Focus!, we are going to Fazzoli's - geesh!".
As soon as we got home Layne and I went to the grocery so we could get ready for lunches and snacks for YMCA camp this week. It absolutely poured while we were in the grocery with very blustery winds but thankfully was over by the time we finished.
Got back home - got all 3 kids bathed, ready for bed - lunches made, snacks made, water bottles ready, lunch bags found. Then got the backpacks ready - change of clothes for each, swimsuits for each and pool towels.
Did okay with drop-off this morning. I was nervous (gee, wonder where Layne gets it from) and Matthew went with us to help with transition.
Jacob and Layne were together so they were fairly easy. Layne was quiet and I got a big hug - but she was helpful this morning and no complaining.
Little bit of anxiety from Joshua, but he knew Ms. Daugherty and Ms. Pippin from our elementary school's Prime Time so that helped a bit. We took him over to one of the activity tables and he was able to get distracted pretty easily.
When I picked them up they were all 3 quiet and looked hot and tired. I finally asked them how it was - and Jacob and Layne both said "boring". They said the only things they did all day was "sit in a field and go canoing once". They both said they did not do anything else.
Joshua said he got to go in the big outdoor pool but he didn't go down the slide because he was "too scared". It sounds like he had fun. He knew 1 other boy and 2 other girls from Primrose, his preschool, but they weren't in his same group.
I think we will just finish out this camp. See if it gets any better. Matthew and Layne are at basketball practice tonight so maybe Matthew will get more information out of Layne when they are together.
They were outside quite a bit. You know they were dirty when Jacob says "I need a shower, I am disgusting". I made him rinse off - rivers of mud running down the drain - and then he could get in the tub. He and Joshua played for a long time.
Okay - hopefully tomorrow is better for camp.
