This is what I stared at last night for several minutes with tears in my eyes…Jake’s super tidy EMPTY bed because he is at camp until Saturday! What the heck is wrong with me!? Should I be happy that I’m down 1 for several days!?  The truth is, I still have 3 others here so I’m still not going to get anything done!  I prefer my whole crew here with me. Just ask any of them…they barely have sleepovers!  As I was watching the NBA finals with Drew last night, I wondered if Jake was getting to watch or if anyone was updating them on the outcome.  I really could care less about the Golden State Warriors or the Cavs or that Kevin Durant is the MVP, but since I have two sports-loving boys, I find myself in tune with it all.  I tried to have a fun night with my girls too and they chose to rent “A Dogs Purpose” which of course had me tearing up every 5 minutes (and I’m not even an animal lover!)  Not a wise choice for the evening of camp drop off!

I highly doubt Jake has even given us a second thought.  He had his stuff laid out and ready for me to double check without me even asking!  I printed out a packing list from my camp expert friend and he had it done in no time!!  THANK YOU JAMIE (you know I was totally stressing out about missing something).  That’s how I roll.  Why can’t he be this enthusiastic about every other household chore!?Probably only about a third of these items will actually make it out of that cabin and back into our house.

This group of soccer besties is totally adorable and I know Jake is thrilled to spend the week with them.

These boys instructed all the moms to send way more snacks than we did last year because apparently they ran out on day 2.  If this is any indication of what their food needs are for the future, we’re totally in trouble!  Don’t they feed them at this camp!?Brooks has an older sister at Camp this week too and I’m hoping she’ll report back any shenanigans.  Surely this crew will make good decisions won’t they?

This is one of the Bulldogs baseball dads that helps coach the boys.  He and his family help with LaCygne YF camp all summer long and he stopped by to see the boys.  So kind!Jake’s bottom bunk buddy, Aidan, brought enough blankets for a long cold Winter even though it’s 90 degrees, so thankfully he shared with Jake.  I know you can’t tell from the picture of his bed at the beginning of this post, but he really is a minimalist when it comes to sleeping.  He just needs a pillow and his Royals blanket and he’s good to go.  He doesn’t see the purpose of bed sheets.

Maybe this year he will come home with less souvenirs!  Last year he thought he had to spend every cent in his account, so he came home with multiple water bottles, sunglasses, candy, etc.

Saturday can’t get here fast enough.  Miss you bunches Jakers!

XOXO
