We all got settled back into the routine of life this week...... just in time to send the boys off to Georgia for the WEEK. They are going to "Camp Cherokee" with their cousins for the second year in a row and will be staying with Aunt Angie each night. It is basically a day camp sponsored by the Harrison's church where elementary school-aged kids will get to swim in the lake, hike, play games, make crafts and all of those other fun camp things. All I know is that it is a very welcomed and much-needed break for me. I will miss them, but I am sure Annabelle and I will stay busy while they are gone.

So here's my huge shout out to my sister-in-law, Angie, for being so awesome!
Thanks Angie! I owe ya!

Back to the beach trip. Did I mention that it was fun? Did I tell you that I got obnoxiously tan? I actually didn't mean to, but three kids kept me hopping and because I didn't lay out that much, I didn't think I was getting too much sun.

Here are the guys on the cannon at Fort Fisher. They were happy that these wouldn't be firing as the remembered how the ones at the civil war re-enactment almost made our ears bleed last year.




So.......Here's to a week of no sibling fights, no scraped knees, only one kid to put to bed at night, no shoes to find as we leave the house, no bath time battles, and a clean toilet! I am off to play the guitar.


I will be ready for all this by Friday!
