Birthdays, Boosterthon, Boos, and Balance Beams

Our week can be summed up as BUSY. What is new? :)


I celebrated my 35th birthday on Thursday. To guarantee that he would not be teased for forgetting, Jay set an alarm for midnight to wake me up and wish me a happy birthday. The festivities started with dinner with my mom at The Big Ketch on Thursday evening. We literally ate the entire menu. It ranks as one of my top meals ever. Oysters on the half shell, lobster bisque, a stuffed lobster roll, and Brussel sprouts- YUM!



The much anticipated Fun Run Boosterthon was scheduled for Friday morning. A sweet friend helped drive Jacob to preschool, so I could be on time for Maggie's run. Maggie takes any type of competition very seriously and ran a steady pace until she completed 35 laps. Tuttle's turn was a little while later, and he is more laid back about the experience. While he achieved the maximum number of labs, he took time to run around with sweet Libby, too. The fund raiser brought in $65,000 for the school. A big thank you to Grandmommy, Grandaddy, Gram, and Grumps for sponsoring Tuttle and Maggie in their run!




The kids were ready to assemble their Boo baskets on Saturday to benefit CHOA. We are always eager to start a holiday celebration even if it is the wrong month. Tuttle and Maggie carefully picked some goodies for Halloween at the Dollar Tree, and we sneaked off to their friends' houses to leave our surprise. They now have to be patient for their turn to be Boo-ed. 



Saturday night Gram came over to babysit while we continued to celebrate my birthday. Jay and I had reservations at one of our favorite local spots, Hopstix. Afterward we went to the 57th Fighter for drinks to recognize our friend, Jenn, turning 40! I gave her a hard time that we should have held her party at a retirement home with Bingo. :)


Sunday the boys played soccer at the school since Tuttle had a bye week, and Maggie and I went to her 3rd gym meet. It was a small competition, and Maggie was award 2nd on bars, 3rd tied on vault, 4th on floor, and 4th tied all around. She did not have the best day on beam, but we have decided to keep her anyways. 



Maggie does not have another competition for several weeks, but Tuttle's soccer returns next weekend. Jacob is just along for the ride of the crazy sports schedules!
