Thursday started off a lot better. Logan stayed home with Lane and I. Once we were all dressed we headed off to do a lot of running around. I went to two different places to get estimates to get my car fixed...remember the Walmart carts! I was pretty surprised that it was going to cost a lot more than I expected to fix it. Both places told me that it could not be completely buffed out and that the whole bumper would have to be repainted. I'm so thankful that I walked out when I did because if not I would be stuck paying to fix it myself.
I'm completely confused as to why this picture is sideways. It's not turned this way until I upload it...I don't know! But you get the idea...he was trying to share!
Logan was being cute...he wanted his picture taken too!
We then dropped Aaron's computer off to be fixed...not sure if I told but his gun managed to break his computer screen on his laptop. So he sent it home with a friend. And for our last stop of the day we headed to Walmart to get the oil changed in my car. We walked around there forever and got a few groceries. I bought a few things for Aaron and a present for the birthday party that Logan got invited to. After all this we headed home. Lane was pooped and fell asleep in the car...the whole 5 minutes it takes to get from Walmart to our house! He slept in the floor for about 15 minutes while I cooked dinner. We had fried catfish, hush puppies, coleslaw, and roasted potatoes....oh and sweet tea...I thought it was a wonderful dinner...one of the best we have had in while...but of course the boys didn't eat. Logan ate a few bites of catfish and half of a hush puppy. Lane ate a few bites of his hush puppy and threw the rest. I just don't get it. I got it all out and I even let Logan do a little helping while I was getting stuff prepared to cook. But nothing helped. Once I told him he had to taste everything he helped cook then his helping ended. I just don't get it. How can you not like HOMEMADE catfish and hush puppies. My boys have been to far from the south for way to long.
Last night the boys went right to sleep and I got to enjoy a great phone call from Aaron. He is working on reenlistment papers. We are doing everything we can to get back close to family but the Army is not really working with us right now. Nothing is official yet so I will wait until we know more to share. But overall Aaron is doing good. He sounded good and we laughed together. I love his laugh!
Logan went to school today and Lane and I did some shopping. Well we looked anyway. One of the big stores around here is closing and I keep seeing advertising for a the HUGE sales they are having. Well I wasn't too impressed. I've seen better sales when I was in there in the past. Next we went to the "mall" that is around here. It really isn't even big enough to be called a mall but around here they call it that. There wasn't anything to exciting there either. I did manage a pair of "skinny" jeans. I really liked them which was surprising because I haven't exactly embraced the "skinny" jean yet but these were really cute and I really liked how they fit. I'll have to get some pictures. My new wardrobe is coming together and I can't wait to show it off for Aaron. There are few pieces that I am saving to wear out to dinner with him. I can't wait to see him.
The computer people called today to tell me that Aaron's computer was ready. I was shocked...that was super fast. Logan was so excited when I picked him up because he was going to get to go home and watch a movie on Daddy's computer. I don't know why he thinks that is so cool but he loves it. Right now the boys are running around. Lane is getting more and more brave. He is climbing even more. You would think that a child who has already fallen and broken a collarbone would be more careful...but no...he's worse than Logan ever was. He scares me. He has been pulling chairs and stools up to the couch so that he can climb up on the couch...and then starts walking across the pillows or whatever is in his way. And the starts to fall. Lucky for him I've been right there every time so I've saved him but I don't know how to stop this. Yesterday he stood up in the highchair. I even called my mom to ask if she EVER remembered Logan doing that. No...he never did. This child is going to frazzle all my nerves. I just spanked his hand and he laughed at me. Aaron you are going to have to be in charge of his discipline.
In this picture he is trying to climb on the couch. He brought this chair over all by himself. And this passy....before I get an ear full over it!!!!...he found it in the toy basket...it is way to small for his mouth...it's for a baby age 0-3 months. He has to hold it in his mouth with his teeth because it's not long enough for him to suck on. He thinks it's so funny when I try to pull it out of his mouth so I figure better to let him play with it than to make a game out of taking it away!
In closing I wanted to let Aaron know that I received a lovely gift in the mail yesterday. It's very pretty and something that I've wanted...but couldn't bring myself to spend that much on myself. So thank you babe...you are the best!
