Brrr.... it was cold!

Seriously thought we might get hypothermia on Friday night. We forgot that when it is 50 at home, that means it's colder in the mountains and I did not pack accordingly.

I did my best packing but ended up having to work all day Friday which gave me approximately 30 minutes to throw everything I thought we might need into a big pile in the yard. The worst thing I forgot was the deodorant. Thankfully, the camp store had some.

The kids did great camping for two nights; the camp had a playground right next to our site and they were out there by 6 am on Saturday morning. My favorite part was today when we took them to Laurel Caverns and explored the caves. How about that view?

Work has turned into a full-time affair lately; I have to work again tomorrow and then I'm hoping to cobble together a few days off in a row. My dad is leaving for a 2 week vacation so I'm not sure how that's going to work out.

I really would like the time with Charlie; he's just been a little bit difficult lately and I think he could benefit from some extra attention. He's usually so easy-going but he's had his share of negative influences lately - daycare for the first time in a year and (unavoidably) being with some other kids that maybe don't bring out the best in him. Maybe it's just normal 6 year old behavior - mouthy, defiant, distracted. It's just not normal for him so maybe I need to adjust my expectations. His tic has gotten noticeably worse since we got home from vacation though; he is scheduled for another check-up with the neurologist to make sure that it's nothing of concern. I can't help thinking the two things are somehow related.

Got to go figure out what I can wear to court tomorrow. I'm shamelessly asking for clean laundry vibes!
