One Crazy Week!

Hard to believe we could do all we've done this last week and still fit in three hours of American Idol but somehow we've managed! (Quick congrats to David Cook - my pick to win!) But onto everything else that's kept us busy this past week ...

Scott took a trip to Chicago to see his brother, Dayton, graduate from School of the Art Institute of Chicago (congrats also to Dayton!). While he was gone I got the surprise pleasure of hosting one of my best friends from college, Jennifer, and her two kids. They were visiting from Minneapolis to work with the Jimmy Carter Work Project building blitz with Habitat for Humanity on the Gulf Coast. Her daughter Noelle and Eben got along great and it was so fun to be with them again.

On our way to pick up Scott in New Orleans, the kids and I made a stop at the Louisiana Children's Museum which was awesome! It was really well done and all three kids loved different parts. Later in the day we picked Scott up and sadly had to head home without stopping for muffelatas or beignets :(

Finally, on Tuesday Tyler's class took a field trip to the New Orleans aquarium and the boys and I went along for that. We took a whirlwind trip through the aquarium, ate lunch at Riverwalk beside the Mississippi River and headed back on the school bus (the bus was as exciting for the boys as the aquarium). Over the next few days we finished off the t-ball season as well as the school year and we're looking forward to a week with absolutely nothing on our plate!
