Day 13: Aquarium, A Beatle and Medieval Times!

We went to the aquarium this morning! We weren't there too long, but it was seriously a lot of fun! The New England Aquarium always claims to be the best, but I think it's small, stuffy and stinky. Today we went to the Aquarium in Emerald Isle. I thought it was great! Kaleb kept saying how much fun he was having and could have watched the sharks all day! We got our picture taken and I can't wait to get a frame for it. Our first official family picture! The quality of it on here is crappy, it's a picture of a picture...taken with my cell phone!

Miley had her last vet appointment for 6 months. She got the Lyme prevention shot and had her stitches looked at. Still have a perfect puppy! But I do have a question. If they have Lyme prevention for dogs...why don't they have it for humans? If they do, I haven't heard of it!

BREAKING NEWS! We are seeing Paul McCartney this summer!! My Mom got tickets for me, Danny, my sister and her boyfriend. I'm PSYCHED! Honestly, going to be the best night ever!!

So it was about 1:30 when I said, "I bet he would like Medieval Times." The next thing I knew I was purchasing tickets and we were sitting in the car for the 2 hour ride. Kaleb had so much fun! He couldn't wait for the fighting to start. We all wore goofy crowns, Kaleb got a flag and by the end of the show he had a sword and shield! It was an awesome time!

Remember, guest blogging tomorrow!

Day 8: I Think We Have a New Beatles Fan!

Maybe it was the weekend away from home, maybe it's because we're both homesick (probably me more than him!), or maybe it's because we are just lazy....but today was boring. We watched cartoons, ate pancakes, and I might have snuck into the bathroom a few times to hide my tears. I think I even fell asleep while we were watching a movie!

My sister called with good news! Paul McCartney will be in Charlotte on July 28. Hell YES. She is going to make the trek down...and we'll have some quality sister bonding time. Maybe even her bf (and Paul look-alike) will come...and Danny can figure something out with work and be able to come too!

So, after getting the good-former Beatles news....I was in the mood for some Rock Band. Kaleb was on the drums and I sang. About 20 minutes into the game he declared "I AM THE EGGMAN!" I think that's enough Rock Band for one day!

Danny came home and made steaks on the grill. He's the grill-chef in the house, I refuse to even turn it on (baaaaad experience!) The boys and Miley are outside playing right now....and I'm thinking I might take a nice long bubble bath. But more than likely I'll end up with a 10 minute shower and Miley howling outside the door until I get out. Ah, the life of a spoiled puppy mommy!
