Weekend in advance

Last night Garett was home a bit early, and so we sat down and write our letter to a soldier. We are working on getting a care package together, and researched everything we need to know about sending it. It won't make it there for Remembrance Day (takes about 28 days to get delivered to them overseas ), but Garett really loves soldiers. He thinks they are the coolest because they keep bad guys out of the country, and his great grandpa "big Bernie, as he calls him fought in the war. So I want to nurture that love and respect by sending aomethingn to someone who may not be receiving much over there. Garett will include a picture of him holding his letter, wearing his poppy and saluting (his idea --he sure knows how to make pride just ooze out of me--in the form of tears ). 

My visit to work today was a bust. I was really optimistic in planning for a Friday, but I should have known better. Friday's always look clear and then suddenly get filled with urgent taskings and meetings. So I decided to reschedule because there was hardly anyone in the office! Sometime next week :)

Instead , I ordered Garett's birthday shirt (yes, I love being on mat leave because I am so on the ball when I have nothingn else to think about haha)

Here's what I ordered for him (obviously with his name and the number 4 instead, lol)

We got lots of relaxing done today, and the little lady napped a lot. She got dressed because we were going to go get Garett , but then Tyler texted and said he was way ahead of schedule, so he would get him. So anyways, here is what she wore:

It's getting hard to take pictures of her on her back, because she's already starting to try and roll from back to belly--they shouldn't be able to do this until about 7-months apparently. She's insane haha she can already do belly to back, though it makes her cry usually because it scares her. 

But this is also the position she sleeps in, except more on her side than this. 

Tonight we have plans to rearrange the basement so it works better for us and create more "room" type areas. We have to set up our weight bench, so I want to make a little gym corner for us to get it done. We are going to start lifting together each night for 45 mins. Because couples that lift together, stay together haha

One of my friends discovered this number , so I took a screen shot. Garett will call this weekend :) 

Plans are up in the air tomorrow morning, since Tyler has to go deal a job quickly. I would like to do something as a family, so we will see what the weather is actually like and go from there !

Then, tomorrow night is girls night :) Tyler is on daddy duty and a few of us are going out to dinner at the waverly east ? And then amber and I are staying for some drinks. I love that she lives around the corner so we can go together too! I'm really looking forward to it :)

Sunday we are going to an open house and hopefully cleaning the back deck off and getting set for *cringe* winter 

Happy weekend everyone !!
