First on the agenda, I have some plugging to do. Go vote for Nolan in the cute baby contest at Parenting.com. The link is in a separate post. DO IT!

In other news, Nolan's birthday is a mere 9 days away. Crazy. I've decided to make the piggy cupcakes.
They're easy to make, and are super cute, plus I am not sure how many people there will be so I think it'll be safer if there's not a huge amount of baked goods lying around.
We've settled on a new babysitter for the little boys. She's actually someone we've used before, about three years ago. We came for a visit yesterday, and both boys were in hog heaven when they saw the amount of animals she has in the house. I think they'll have fun. I've also signed Nathaniel up for camp at the YMCA (it's really just childcare, but he LOVES going to the Y, I figure he'll have fun two days a week).
Speaking of Nathaniel, he gets out of school on Friday. We're taking him camping, and I am super excited about it. Poor kid has never been out with just the two of us. It's long overdue.
I've been scrambling my brain to try and come up with a daily schedule/routine for summer. The last two summers have been nightmares simply because I didn't have anything planned. The kids just got up, and by 11am they were bored. And bored kids=chaos. They're all going to daycare two days a week, but for those other three days, I am going to have to come up with something. I am definitely going to buy a bridging activity book for Nathaniel, and the water table will get lots of use. I am thinking about getting some outdoor toys, and maybe have a craft day.
I would love to hear from others about summer routines. Do you have a set schedule during summer, or does your family lay back and make a schedule as you go?
Now I must go clean stuff, and read
