a quiet morning...

Shea playing wiht his new letters - he's discovered that
they stick to the wall of the tub and to himself! haha

It is so quiet right now, I am amazed!  Normally Shea is up between 6 and 7 in the morning, but last night he went to bed pretty late, so I am so glad he is sleeping in (he didn't wake up once last night, which he has done before, but not lately due to teething.  I was waking up every hour or so thinking he was up - just so you know, moms never get sleep, even if their kids are sleeping! :) )


So, I am enjoying a cup of tea and catching up on my email.  Yesterday was Jeremy's birthday, and we both totally forgot!  I only knew because I saw a post on facebook before I left for work, and I was like "OH, Jer, it's your birthday, I forgot"  and he was like "what?  OH....yeah, I forgot too." ha.  24 is such a BIG deal, how could we forget, right? :P


Anyway, so I went to work and it was kind of a longish tiring day, because they have so many new babies up in the toddler room.  I have to go up there for an hour at the end of my  4 year old class, but even an hour is more than enough for me.


Then Shea and I came home, I stopped and put some gas in my car, he went down for a nap and then Jeremy told me we were probably going to go out on a DATE withOUT a child!  yay!  So I cleaned most of the house - dishes, kitchen floor, tidied frontroom/hallway, vacuumed, tidied the front hall closet.  Then we ran out to Walmart, because I had to get some thank-you notes and pictures printed for my Grandma.


I took a shower and actually dressed semi-nice (I even wore a necklace and a skirt).  Jeremy got home from his meeting and we went up to Silverdale, where we dropped off Shea at the mall with his parents, and they were so nice - they even surprised us with a $25 gift card to Olive Garden (where we were planning on going)! So we had soup and salad and bread sticks (My favorite part) and only had to pay $6+tip.  It was so nice!  Then we walked around target and the mall for about 45 minutes looking for our son (his parents weren't answering their phone), when I realized I had left my phone at the restaurant.  Leave it to me!


SO I had to go back and get that while Jeremy finally found his parents.  Then we came home and had a nice quiet evening before going to bed.

I also bought new silk PJ's at Target.  Like, real button up the front Pajamas.  I always just wear sweats or maybe some pajama pants and a shirt to bed, but we're having pajama day at school twice this month, so I decided to buy some on clearance (for $4 I think it will be worth it).  I tried them on last night though, and I think I'm going to be wearing them all the time now, they're so soft and comfy!


A few other pictures to share:


We got a box of Christmas presents from my grandma this week for Shea, so he got to open up some more gifts:

 Here he is playing with his new car:

So glad this week is almost over!  Getting back into working mode has been harder than I thought!  I want to hear more from you girls!  :)
