Just chillin'

This week was really exhausting - but very productive at work. Thor has decided that he really doesn't like it when I leave for work these days adn so he tries to hold onto my hand and tells me that eh wants me to stay at home and play with him.
When I got home last night I didn't immediatly change out of my uniform so he went into my room and got my jammie pants and a t shirt for me. As he was handing them to me he said - "here mommy, you wear these clothes. You don't have to go to work again do you?" it breaks my heart when he does stuff like that. The other day I sat down with him and explained why I have to go to work.... so we can buy food, and live in a house and have stuff like clothes and toys. He said he understood. The next day when getting ready for work he saw me putting my boots on ( a sure sign I will be leavign soon) and he brings me a couple of his toys and says "don't go to the Army mom, I'll give you my toys" So somehow that conversation got twisted into, if i give up my toys then you won't have to work anymore.

Last night we just had a lazy family night. We ordered pizza, got out the water colors and the kids painted for nearly two hours. I know what Grandma and Grandpa's will be getting in the mail next week. : ) THen we read a bunch of stories before all going to bed preatty early.

Its only 9 am and the kids have been up for 2 1/2 hrs already so I think its about time to head out for our weekly shopping trip.

One quick work note - I got to run my first CS gas chamber range on Thursday. Lets just say I can now see why Drill Sargeants love the gas chamber day so much. ITs Hilarious to see people take their masks off and try and sing a song or say the soldiers creed. I have 4 more of these to run in the next few weeks. Pictures will surely follow. : )
