Park time

Yesterday was super busy. I was up at 7:30 and worked my booty off the whole day. After dropping the boys off I ran all over town and on and off post more times than I can count. I met Logan's new teachers and walked around his new classroom. On Monday he starts a new class called Strong Beginnings. They will be having a more structured classroom setting that is going to help get him ready for Kindergarten. It seems really neat and I think it will be really good for him. Plus I think he will really like it. After that I was off again. Making phone calls and moving boxes and shopping. I got all the shopping done for the single soldiers gifts and we finally got the sheets for the guys' beds. So thanks to a few wonderful ladies the sheets got washed and Mel and I sat in her basement and fixed these last night:The baskets have a tshirt, boxers, wash clothes, shaving cream, razor, snacks, candy, toothbrush, tooth paste, small shampoo, conditioner, and lotion.
And this is just what fit in the back of Mel's car. There were 50 baskets total!

This morning we were back at it again. I met up with Jodi, Mel, Susan, and Taza and we got to work in the soldier's rooms. We got lucky when Rear D showed up with a bunch of extra guys. I put them to work and they did awesome. In no time we had the sheets on the beds, the baskets, towels, and goodies from the parents placed in each room. All the Welcome Home signs were hung...the barracks are now ready for soldier's to move in! Aaron called as we finished up so I got to take a break and talk with him for a while. Even though a lot of guys have left they are still doing missions and taking care of the things that need to be done. Hopefully time will pass quickly for him.

After I talked with him I headed home to take a nap. I was exhausted. The nap was wonderful! I picked the boys up next and Logan's first questions was "are we going to see Logan Joshua or Aidan?" So since it was a beautiful day outside I made a few calls and we ended up going over to Mel's house. The kids played around the house and then we took a walk to the park. Lane was being wild. The kid WOULD NOT stop putting rocks in his mouth. I don't know how many times I jumped up and ran over to make him spit out rocks. He still would not stop. He wasn't trying to eat them, he just wanted to stick them in his mouth so that he could spit them out. That's what was happening here! Yes those are nasty rocks falling from his mouth! Notice the other hand is full of rocks just waiting to go in his mouth!
After a little while I caught him doing this...
I have no idea why! Oh me...boys! Logan got a little more adventurous and learned some new tricks on the swings. Aidan and Paige showed him how to spin around in circles on the swings. He had a lot of fun...even told me he was going to swing so high he would be able to see Heaven and God.Here are a few more pictures from the park. I LOVE these two pictures of the boys....Logan was concentrating so hard on crossing this...and he was so proud of himself when he did it.

If you look really close you can see my refection in Lane's eyes. I think I'm going to have these two pics blown up...I love these two boys sooooo much!

After the park we headed home. On the ride home Logan started asking me about marriage. He wanted to know if me and Mel were married and I explained that we were and that I was married to Daddy. Logan asked if he could get married. I told him that when he got older he would get a girlfriend and when he was sure that he loved her they would get married. He then tells me that he wants to marry me. I explained to him that I couldn't marry him because I was married to Daddy. So then he decides he will marry Paige. Then he tells me...and Johnny will most likely ban us from his house when he hears this..."me and Paige will have 5 babies!" It was so funny. How cute that at 4 years old he has it all figured out!
