Boxes...who knew!

This morning I wasn't feeling so good. I had chills...no fever though...and I just couldn't get myself to wake up for some reason. I pretty much had to force myself to get up and get dressed so that I could go into to work for a few hours. We were taking pictures for our work website plus having a staff meeting. Heather watched the boys for me while I went in. Everything went well and I headed off to McDonald's to pick up the boys when I was done. The kids were having a blast and Lane was climbing on all the play stuff. I wish I had brought my camera with me. There were several times when I was kicking myself in the butt for not having it with me. Lane is just to cute. Katrina with there with us and she reminded me of a Relay for Life meeting that was tonight. Good thing because I had completely forgotten. Heather told me to leave the boys with her so I did and ran home to get some dinner and then off to the meeting. We talked about all our fundraising ideas and how we are going to decorate our tent. This year is a carnival theme but we have some cute ideas...now if we can just pull them off! Last year I didn't get to do as much with Relay for Life as I would have hoped. Lane was only 2 months and it was still rather cold at night so I didn't get to stay out there to long...luck would have it that Aaron was called away for that weekend thanks to work and I had been planning on letting him help me with the boys. Never plan on anything...the Army will always mess it up!

I left there and went to get the boys. I hung out at Heather's for a little while. When I first came in I sat my purse down on one side of the room and ended up sitting on another. A little while later I thought to my self, "self go get your purse because your phone is in it and Aaron JUST might call." So I did. About two minutes later my phone rings but I don't hear it...I just hear the ding at the end that lets me know I missed the call! I was so angry. I just moved my purse so I would be near my phone and still missed his call. I kept thinking he would call back but I wasn't that lucky. He must have been in a hurry or maybe just didn't feel like playing phone tag with me. Either way, I'm so sorry. I hate missing calls from him. I really can't explain how it feels. But it hurts. Knowing that I was that close to hearing to his voice...and I missed it! It drives me mad.

When we got home I decided to condense some of the boxes of kid clothes that I have stashed all over the boys room. A friend is coming over tomorrow morning to go through them so I thought I would move them downstairs. The boys played while I doing that but I had to hurry and finish up because Lane was getting grumpy. He was telling us goodnight before I even picked him up to take him to bed. He was so tired and he fell right to sleep. Logan took over the empty box and brought it downstairs. He was calling it his home. He picked up his toys and then I gave him a snack. He decided to eat it in his box. A little later he brings me his bowl and asks me if I will put it away from him. I did and told him to use the bathroom and then we will get him in bed. A few minutes later I realize that I don't see him in his box and he's not in the bathroom. I kind of started to get worried but then I looked a little harder in the box. There he was fast asleep. I guess that's how you know when you had a busy fun filled day...when you fall asleep in a box and your comfy bed is just upstairs. He loves this box though...I'm temped to toss all their toys and just keep that box!!!
