Household Six: Soccer Practice and Deployment pictures

So on Thursday I got up and took the boys to school. I had planned to do lots of cleaning but I have to admit that it didn't get it done. After I got back from dropping the boys off I ended up falling back to sleep. I was exhausted. Falling asleep when it's still bright outside is hard in itself but I just started getting use to having Aaron in the bed with me and then he's gone again. So I've been having trouble going to sleep. I had gone to bed between 12:30 and 1 every night and then up at 5:30 to get ready for work...so I have to admit I needed the rest. When I got up I headed off to do some grocery shopping. After that I picked the boys up early and then we headed home. I cooked an early dinner so that we could eat before Logan's soccer practice. Logan did so good at his practice. He practiced his kicks and even scored a few times when they played the two on two. The shin guards they were given were too big for him. They kept turning to the side the whole practice and I could tell they were bothering him. So we headed to Walmart to try to find some new ones. We got two different kinds so hopefully one will work just right...or maybe both! I've been wanting to make something to help Logan understand how much longer Aaron has before he is home. So I picked up the stuff to do that. I have a really cute idea in my head so hopefully it turns out just right. I worked on it last night after I put the boys in bed. I realized I forgot a few things so we are going to head out to get those today. I'll post a picture when it's done. I talked with Aaron when we got home. He is still trying to get back with the rest of his unit. He was stuck at one place for a while and now he's stuck at another. I kind of like that he's stuck but it's driving him crazy. He needs to be busy. I finally talked him into reading one of "my" kind of books. I love mystery books. He finally found one and admitted that so far it was good so at least that will keep him busy for a bit. Another soldier posted some pictures on his facebook and I stole a few of Aaron. So I'm going to post those pictures as well as some from Logan's soccer practice. Enjoy!
