Preparations

We spent the day in Alexandria running errands and getting what we need for the LPL Convention. Now we just have to pack, get through the Convention, a visit with Vinsons aunt from California and then maybe I can breathe for a few days (probably not but one can hope).
I was hoping that after a full May calendar I would get a slower June but it looks like June will be just as busy. We already have most of our weekends planned and almost every day that Vinson is off. I don't know how I'm going to make it through next year when the Governor election gets into full swing.
The children are finally getting to an age where they are a bit more cooperative when things get hectic. It's either that or else we've learned how to bribe them into cooperation. They will actually be attending the Convention banquet with my mother-in-law (I'll be crossing my fingers). We've already discussed what the banquet will be like and how we expect them to behave (i.e. no yelling, jumping, burping, hitting, kicking......) so here's hoping they can remember all of that.
