I didn't forget to blog yesterday. I just really didn't have the chance. After work, I helped get Dewayne and the big boys off to church. Then Garrett and I went to buy groceries. I did a great job with sales and coupons if I do say so myself. Food Lion subtotal before savings was $42.91; subtotal after savings was $22.90. That's a savings of 47%. Bi-Lo subtotal before savings was 93.21; subtotal after savings was $37.87. That's a savings of 60%.

After we got home and got the kids in bed, we did a lot of paperwork for Dewayne for next school year and paid the bills.

I picked up Garrett early today because of a belly ache. I think he's ok now. Sam had a makeup game tonight and Caleb had practice. Sam scored the only goal for his team by bouncing the ball off the shinguard of a kid on the other team.

It's 10:00 pm and we just sent the big boys to bed. Garrett fell asleep in the car on the way home from my sister's. Caleb's 5th grade awards banquet was tonight. He presented the award to the 5th grade teacher of the year. His awards were for Beta Club, President's Physical Fitness Award, and Citizenship. It's late, so I'll post pictures tomorrow. We're very proud of him. I also went to the middle school and got him registered today. The middle school mascot is the colts, by the way. Dewayne had his last class today. He still has papers, reports and finals to go, but no more classes.

Busy, busy day. Work and school, then a makeup soccer game. Caleb did a good job in his game, though. Dewayne had to have his helper drop him off at the soccer complex for the game, and rode home with us.

Garrett had a slight temperature this morning, but I think he's ok now. The boys both had games today. The big boys and I are all sunburned. Dewayne and Garrett wore sunscreen. Here are two very short videos from today. The first one is from Sam's game. He has the ball in the beginning of it. Listen closely for Garrett.

Caleb's in the goal.

Here are some pretty good shots Dewayne got of Caleb.

Caleb & Dewayne went to Georgia Aquarium and 6 Flags over Georgia in Atlanta. Here are some pictures from their trip.

Caleb & Dewayne had a blast at six flags today. I'll try to post the pictures of their trip tomorrow. Garrett seems to have a touch of a stomach bug. Hopefully he'll be ok in the morning for churh and soccer.

Caleb & Dewayne are having a great time in Atlanta. Caleb said the Georgia Aquarium was awesome. He bought a snowglobe. They swam in the hotel pool for a couple of hours, and that was awesome, too. They had Cracker Barrel for dinner and went back to the hotel.

Garrett and Sam and I had a lot of fun on the trampoline tonight after having the best homemade biscuits I've ever made. I did a much better job this time. Caleb's trying to talk us into saving him one.

Garrett went for his 3-yr well check today. If I remember correctly, he was 33 lbs. and 38.5 inches. That puts him in the 75th % for height and the 90-95th % for weight. He's a lot bigger for his age than the boys were.
