Countdown

Every morning when Garrett wakes up his first statement is "only __ days until my birthday, mom!" Today there are only three more days until the big day. He is having a party at an family fun type center called Blackbeard's Cove. It is one those places that drives parents crazy, but the kids love it. Actually, I do love it for a birthday party because they do absolutely everything from pizza to cake to entertainment, all I have to do is show up with a checkbook. Garrett is doing a camp this week with some buddies from school. It is a combination of tennis, kayak, and golf camp, although yesterday they went to see a movie. He is having a blast and is getting so brown from being out in the sun. The girls and I are having a great deal of mother/daughter time this week. We went saw a movie yesterday too and did some shopping for Filson's birthday. Today we are either finishing the painting of the downstairs den or going to Sam's, quite a choice. Aaaah, summer rolls on!
