What's up this week?
We have Dayne's 3 month pictures today
Tomorrow I'm walking with a friend
I have to get to the dealership this week because my radio no longer works. I'm so over having issues with my radio. I swear if they don't fix it this time I'm going to scream.
I have a dentist appointment on Thursday - fun times.
Re: MMPP
Today I'm finally getting Joshua's 1 yr pics done & then the kids & my aunt are headed to Chicago with me for the week, dinner tonight w/the in-laws

I have to take DS back to the pedi today for an ear re-check.
Tomorrow is me and DH's last day of work for the school year!
Thursday we are taking DS to the Tiger's game for the first time (it's DH's father's day gift from us)! And then I'm going to the NKOTBSB concert with a good friend.
Friday we are going to look at some houses to get a feel for what's out there since ours is up for sale right now.
Today is Gabriel's birthday. DH has jury duty, so we'll hang low tonight and celebrate just the 3 of us.
The rest of the week will be spent getting Gabriel back in good health. He's still refusing food and liquids a lot of the time. It breaks my heart that he's so sick.
