As far as weeks go, this has been a pretty good one! I got to eat breakfast with friends on Tuesday and coffee with a good friend who I hadn't seen in a while today!
One of my new duties on Thursdays is to pick my grandmother up from her beauty shop appointment. She was told last week that she shouldn't drive anymore and Mom has had so much to do to help her (this is her mother-in-law---what a saint!). I decided that I would contribute by taking her home from her appointments. When I picked her up, I took her to Drug Emporium which is her favorite shop in town. She picked up lots of sweets. Won't it be fun to be 83 and not have to worry about a waistline?! It is shocking to me how confused she is getting. She has changed so much this year.
Matthew and I were sitting down at the table going over math last night. He is interested in multiplication so I drill him every now and then. I asked him what 7X3 was. He thought about it for a minute and said, "I guess that would be 21 since that equals three touchdowns with field goals!" Who would have thought sports would help Matthew in math?!
Bryon and I are heading to Las Vegas next week! This will be the first time in 2 1/2 years that Bryon and I have spent the night away from the kids (we have never left ME!) and I am looking forward to the trip. I am not a huge fan of Las Vegas, but Bryon has a conference there and frankly, I would be happy going to Tijuana Mexico just to get away with Bryon for a while!
My mother in law and parents are going to pinch hit with the kids. I am flying out two days after Bryon and coming home earlier than him because leaving all three kids is a lot to handle and I hate being away for too long! The only kicker is that Lauren is due two weeks later. I am so worried that she will go into labor when I am gone! I told her she is to put her feet up and not to move for three days!
Lauren's big baby shower is this weekend and I am looking forward to that and seeing all the friends and family who are making the trip here. We also have tons of yard work and laundry that will keep us busy for most of the weekend.
Have a great weekend!

Enjoy your time away with your hubbie--surely Lauren will obey you and not go into labor until after you are back home!
That is what I am thinking, JB! After all I have done for her, surely she can respect my wishes! ;)
I'll talk to baby James and tell him to stay in there. Hopefully he'll listen, but ya never know!
I love learning multiplication with football. That is great!
Hang on Baby James, wait on Aunt Elizabeth!!!
Two of the BEST meals I have ever eaten in my entire life have been in Vegas! There are two great, nice restaurants there that I would be happy to email you info about if you are interested in a nice place to eat. We do dinners there sometimes during programs in Vegas with my old job.
Anxious to see you guys this weekend!
I hope the baby shower was lots of fun. Those are special times to spend with friends and family, not to mention realizing how tiny those sweet little outfits are!
Have a great time in Vegas!
Vegas was the first place that Clint and I went without Lauren too. Like you said...anywhere with just your hubby is great! I hope James waits for you to get there too- I am sure he will play along!
