navygreen: (Rain)
Lots and lots of rain last night. It's still booming far away right now, but the forecast says it is supposed to clear off and be sunny soon, and definitely for this afternoon. I hope so - we have a "rain date" in place for this party, but it leaves us with an option we don't want to take!

And OMG, the sea of orange continues...

It's not even midnight, but I'm headed to bed. Well, I will be as soon as I move Jack out of my spot. I washed all his bedding today before I left for work, but Philip didn't think to push the loads through the laundry while I was gone, so his comforter wasn't yet dry when we got home from swimming - he's sleeping in my bed right now instead.

I washed all of our bedding yesterday, and I'll do all of A.J.'s tomorrow. I did a large decluttering of Jack's room yesterday as well (it wasn't my intention, but it just sorta... happened... after I moved on from cleaning out the bath toys!), so I'll be focusing on A.J.'s in the same fashion tomorrow. All of this will be later in the day on my new "day off" though, as we'll be getting an early start in the morning.

A.J. has a 7:55am doctor's appointment. Not because anything is wrong, no. He just has to have a physical and a physician's summary done before he can head off to summer camp in July. This early appointment was the only time they could squeeze him in before the camp deadline, and I needed to have time to have the forms then notarized and mailed back to the camp as well. I think we might grab breakfast after the doctor's appointment because we'll all be hungry by then, too. ;-)

For now, it's soooo time to sleep. I've worked hard today, logged a LOT of hours in the sun, plus a couple playing hard in the pool, and I'm zonked. ZZZZzzzzzzzz...

*SQUEEEE*

We've been waiting for almost two months to find out if A.J. would be accepted into the a summer camp this year - Operation Purple Camp - and I just got this email this afternoon:

Dear Cleghorn Family,

Congratulations! Your child, Aaron, has been selected to attend Operation PurpleĀ® camp at Fremont for the week of 7/13/2008-7/18/2008.

(info stuff here for forms, first day, etc.)

Sincerely,

Patricia M. Barron
Director, Youth Initiatives
The National Military Family Association
2500 North Van Dorn Street, Suite 102
Alexandria, VA 22302


Way to go, bud! A.J. has been asking every few days whether we knew yet or not if he'd been accepted, but even in checking the website LAST NIGHT, it said that all accepted applicants would be notified around the 19th of May. What an awesome surprise to hear so early - today! I called A.J. into the office to read the email, and his eyes scanned the message quickly, and then he started jumping up and down, screaming and yelling, "Alright! Hey, Jack - I got in! I made it!" while fist-pumping the air. Even Jack was super-happy for him.

We're gonna miss him around here that week for sure (July 13-18th), but he's going to have SO. MUCH. FUN! My little boy (who will be only a month shy of TEN at that point) is growing up so fast!
