bring on the busy-ness

We had a wonderful weekend visit with Uncle Rome. The boys worked hard to make sure he didn't have a moment's peace during his stay. We played lots of Wii (even mom!) and enjoyed birthday celebrations for Papa and Grandpa while Rome was here.
The boys had their testing last Saturday, with Uncle Rome, Sean-daddy and Papa in the audience cheering them on. The 'promotional' ceremony is tomorrow, and (shhhhh..., we aren't supposed to know) Ashton is being awarded student of the month in addition to advancing in rank. We are SO proud! I will try to get some pictures, I expect he is going to be one very excited little boy. Saturday brings the first basketball game for both boys, and then a trip to the Museum. It will be good timing, because Mason's class is studying dinosaurs in science right now. Speaking of school, Mason is also learning how to put together a power point slide presentation, (something I didn't learn until college), and he is reading, reading, reading up a storm.
Ashton finally returned to school today, after three days home with pink eye and general yuckiness. His return is just in the nick of time, because tomorrow is the big play date with Gavin that he has been waiting not-so-patiently-for.
Busy, busy days, all the better to help us forget the cold.
