Week Highlights So Far!

Sunday: Finally got around to having Grace’s birthday party. She wanted a pool party, so we invited a large crew to fill up the big swim school pool. Swim went great, but craming 30 kids and a dozen parents into small room, not so good! First time I didn’t get to take home cake (1/2 sheet) or ice cream (gallon tub!)

A couple of friends came back afterward to swim in out softside pool.

Monday: Picked up one friend, met others for pizza and putt putt. Had to deal with lousy attitudes of competitive older kids, while the “friends” were well behaved. After several warnings about whining, and being mean to each other, two of my boys didn’t get ice cream after putt putt! Yeah, I know. I’m the worst mom ever, so I’ve been told.

Back home with two friends to swim. Neighbor kid and cousin came over to swim. I sat outside and spent all afternoon booking ICRS appointments, checking email and figuring out play carpool schedule!

Youngest son slept over friend’s house, other son slept over other friends house. Would have been a quiet evening if Grace would have gone to be on time!

Tuesday: Started my detox! Five shakes (if that’s what you call liquidy, chalky water.) I’m starving and still have one more to go. Then two more days of this! BLECH!

I was supposed to get a lot of stuff done around the house with Grace at Mother’s Day out and two boys still over sleepovers. Went shopping and made beef jerky in food dehydrator! Yikes! I need to check on it now!

Tomorrow: Water park or swimming in back yard!
