I learned an important life lesson today. When you get an invitation to a birthday party, read it carefully. Don't just glance at it, jot the info down on your calendar and put the invite away. Failure to read carefully may result in a trip out to the Tybee Island YMCA, 15 minutes of wandering around the Y looking for the birthday party, with a four-year-old saying"mom, are we lost?" about 20 times a minute, until placing a phone call to your husband, who READS the invitation and tells you the party is at another YMCA, just a couple miles from your house. This may be followed by being stuck in stand-still traffic due to two accidents on the highway leading off of Tybee for 30 minutes, while the four-year-old reminds you every 10 seconds that she REEEAAALLLY needs to go to the bathroom.



This was my afternoon today. The good news is we arrived just in time for cake and then Jamie had time to play with the other kids for a while afterwards. How embarrassing, but it all ended well.



The boys hung around here while we went to the party. Caleb napped, and I think Vic and Carson played Pirates of the Caribbean together. Carson is a level 21 now, so poor Mr. Roper has a hard time keeping up.



Tomorrow officially starts Spring Break - Yikes! Yay! And, only 3 more days until we leave for Charlotte! :)
