A Post With No Title

Today was Caitlin's last day of school. Man, am I relieved--I no longer have to drive clear across town 2 times a day to take her to and pick her up from school. As most of you know, we chose to put her in Belmar Elementary this year, simply because we had a contract on a house in the Belmar area in August of 2008. Thinking we'd go ahead and get her started in the school near the house that was soon to be ours, we chose to take her out of the district we are currently in. Needless to say, that contract fell through and we've been stuck driving back and forth to Belmar ever since.
*deep sigh*

This next year, however, Caitlin and Christian (seriously, I can't believe my sweet boy is going to start kindergarten!!) will hopefully be attending a brand new school in CISD. I am fairly certain the new school will be finished by the end of August, but I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch. It will just be awesome to drive .5 miles to their school--and did I mention I can see it from our front porch?
Yay!

In other news, we had a great Memorial Day weekend. John was off for the majority of it, and we enjoyed a nice afternoon at Medi Park lake. We packed a super yummy picnic lunch--thanks to Mimi, Pappaw, and Grandma Duke--and had a great time feeding the ducks and fishing. Caitlin was the only one to catch a fish, and she was so proud!

It was Christian's weekend to spend the night with Mimi and Pappaw, and while he was there, he discovered his inner super hero. Can we say Captain Underpants? :)
All 3 C's also found a love of all things slimy and disgusting--AKA: snails. Ewwwww. Mimi referred to is as the Great Snail Roundup of 2009. No matter what you call it, I call it amazingly nasty.
Momma definitely does NOT have a love of snails. Plain and simple.
Bleh.

And finally, I am sad to say that I will no longer be drinking Red Bull.
Yes, yes....I know some of you are laughing right now, but it's totally true. I just can't. Not after hearing a news report on Air 1 the other morning while driving Caitlin to school.
Apparently Red Bull was tested (in some other state, but I'm not taking chances) and found to contain traces of cocaine.
Seriously. It's a tragedy for me. Ahhhhh, how I've loved Red Bull.
No more hyperactivity---you're welcome Misty. :)
