I'm just whining because although we've certainly missed Daddy, we've had a good week. Well... Peter did come down with a stomach bug on Tuesday but that's par for the course when the guys are gone. Daddy in the field? Gone to Afghanistan? or Iraq? then everybody must come down with stomach bug, vomit on everything, and (just for good measure) maybe the washing machine will break. ha! It's in the Army manual.

Fortunately Peter was up and running by Wednesday and was able to go to school again. Peter absolutely loves his teachers, Ms. Runk and Ms. Hickman, and all of his friends at preschool. He asks every morning if he gets to go to school. (He goes M-W-F from 9-12.)
Here Pete is about to walk into school...

They've been doing lots of Halloween arts and crafts in Pete's class lately...
The 2 year old classroom is so happy and cheerful looking and the teachers do a great job of rotating activities and toys and "centers" so it's always new for the children...
In other news... Chris was very disappointed to miss James's last football game this morning. The Redskins won, 12-0. James learned so much and I'm glad he got the opportunity to practice playing as much as he did this season.
The boys and I are excited to bake Daddy's birthday cake and get ready to celebrate tomorrow... evening... since he isn't expected to come out of the field until dinnertime. I am also volunteering tomorrow morning at Children's Church so fingers crossed that everyone is agreeable and kind in the morning so we show up happy and on time!
Poor Pete and poor you with Chris being gone. Although I hate cleaning up the vomit and feel terrible for how bad they must feel, I secretly love a sick lethargic kid for a day. Do I dare say it gives me a few hours not too worry about them wrecking things and/or themselves?
