The Tree

So we have this little boy named Micah that is CRAZY about Christmas and AS SOON as anyone even mentioned it he was all ready to jump right into the Christmas spirit so I went to look for our tree, and didn't find it and then remembered that due to unfortunate events ( aka Riah) and the fact that the tree was very cheap. SO I had to go buy new one... I Went ALL BY MYSELF, that totally sucked btw because other families were getting trees together. But I did it I conquered my fear of not wanting to set up anything Christmas without Tom and I DID IT. I was even contemplating having the boys lose their preschool spots and just moving in with my parents for the next who knows to avoid it but I pulled myself together and with my mommy's help we put the tree up and the boy proof ornaments.

I also ordered us some new stockings since I don't remember if Riah ever got a stocking and I know Jonah doesn't have one. We have NEVER had Christmas here so we just kind of Forgot ooops. But now we ALL will have NEW stockings. All 4 boys including the Big one will have camo stockings and then I picked out my own girly one :)

The first day I wanted to shoot my children for how off the wall they were acting with a tree but things have settled down somewhat with day 2.

I got to talk to Tom tonight :) made my day. Ever since Thanksgiving getting to talk to him all day pretty much I've been in a low mood ever since because I just want to talk to him more.

I've been spoiled this week thursday I got all day, and then I got a call on Sunday and then another tonight. I am at the point tho where although I love all of our friends here and have amazing support I and just ready to be back with my husband so I'm hoping that tech school in long and in the same place so that we can move and be closer to him.

He said he did the obstacle course today and it was just like a big kid play ground. He was SOOO happy it was great to hear, because the other times he's just been really homesick and ( sorry Tom) there have been tears each phone call. SO tonight having him upbeat and excited was a GREAT change, tomorrow he does the gas chamber so that will be interesting to hear about on sat when he calls again.


Jonah can now climb up and DOWN the bunk bed stairs. tonight he went in as soon as I opened the door for the chance to wake Micah up it was pretty funny. He is getting so big well mentally and ability wise I guess he is still very tiny size wise. I feel like Tom is missing out on a lot tho. He has grown attached to a stuffed dog we got a few years ago and walks around saying woof woof with it, it is so cute and he can count to 3 over and over again.

The boys got new hair cuts, they gave them mirrors and paint brushes to keep them occupied while they cut their hair. I thought that was a neat idea. and my boys much more handsome now :)

We also went out for ice cream that day just for fun. But poor Jonah fell asleep before he could get his ice cream.

The boys were popsicles half way through tho and didn't finish it. Apparently a fall day when sun is going down isn't the best idea for ice cream ;)
