Busy, busy weekend.

This was such an exciting and busy weekend for us! I picked up Baylor in Lewisburg Friday afternoon. He had been there for a week and a half, and it was time for him to come home.
Saturday dawned, and it was Baylor's 10th birthday. I can't believe that little fart is 10 years old already. We got dressed and went to the Cajundome to work at the Games of Acadiana. This is a fundraiser for the Miles Perrett Cancer Center. Our family worked the soccer booth with Laborde Therapy Center. We had such a good time, even though David is a little sore from all that work. I liked that we were doing service work as a family. I think it's so important that our children grow up with memories of doing things for others.
Saturday afternoon Baylor got to open his presents. He got a PSP, the carrying case with some accessories, and a game from us. Granny and Papa came and met us at Sicily's pizza for dinner. Granny got him two games for his PSP. After dinner, Granny and Papa came over to watch a movie at our house. We watched No Reservations, which is a movie that was pretty good.
Today was church this morning, and the sermon was about the importance of not being alone. He was talking about spiritually, and in a church community. After church, we were planning to bring Nadia to the playground at church to let her play, but there was a sign on the equipment saying that a copperhead had been seen and not killed. I had the bright idea to let the kids go play on the playground at McDonald's next door. We were in for a rude awakening because apparently the playground got torn down months ago. They even told us that all of the McDonald's playlands were being torn down. My guess is that someone sued because their child got hurt and we all have to suffer. Scott and Kiki came with us, and as usual, it was nice to sit down and visit with them. We don't get to see Scott very often, so it was nice.
After McDonald's, we came home and took a nap. Once we woke up, we got Baylor's backback ready for school tomorrow, picked out his clothes, packed his lunch, etc. We also got the infant carrier out of the shed and discovered that the straps and padding were full of mildew. I sprayed with Oxiclean, let it soak, and washed it twice. (I even added bleach to the water) and the mildew didn't come out! I started researching replacement straps and covers, and discovered that it would cost $40 to replace them when a brand new seat is $60! David suggested I soak the straps in straight bleach, and I decided to give it a try since I really had nothing to lose. Guess what? It worked! The mildew is gone, and the color of the straps wasn't even ruined. I rubbed some bleach into the cover, and it seems to be gone from that as well. I'm so excited!
I am going to wash them again, but this time in baby laundry detergent, and I'm going to do a plain water rinse so that baby Dawson isn't sitting in straight bleach. Bleach is awesome!

It's almost 9 pm, and I'm pretty sure I'm about to go to bed. I have a lot of lesson planning to do at work this week. I need to have my plans done through the first week of December very soon. I'm getting nervous that Dawson will arrive early and catch me unprepared.
