Around here.

We are preparing for Clare's birthday on Friday. Thus far our plans include an extra special breakfast and lunch, balloons, gifts, cake, and attending a birthday party for a friend. Mama is headed out of town for the weekend so we will have to do the party on another date. At first she was bummed but then I explained that it was kind of like having two birthdays and she was okay with that idea.

Wesley is enamored with his stuffed baby owl. (And we finally figured out a cure for the hitting and violence: taking baby owl away!)

I am obsessed with knitting hats, rearranging furniture, and running. If only it would get cooler, then I could test run all of these hats piling up around us. We are also planning our next camping trip, hopefully at the end of the month. I have a few more things to collect gear wise and today I bought my very own sleeping bag! Ahh, the possibilities. I could go anywhere now!

Mario is enjoying the start of football season and all things Buffalo Bills. He is also taking the kids for walks each night around the block in an effort to tire them out and to spend more time outside. This Friday night he's taking both kids to the Heathwood Hall football game for some quality bonding.
