Totally Tuesday!

I woke up this morning with a feeling that it was going to be a long, uneventful, super average day... but Gavin and I actually made the best of it! One reason I think I woke up in such a mood is because of Jason's work schedule lately. The hours were so long last night that he ended up sleeping in his office and will probably do the same again tonight. I know it was best he didn't/doesn't drive since hes operating on such little sleep, but we sure miss him! (For those with spouses and family members deployed at the moment please ignore my griping over a two week training event, I know I have no reason to complain!) I just hate knowing my husband is sick and he can't be home for me and Gavin to take care of him. Plus, we kinda like having him around! Ok, enough of my complaining.

I'm so thankful to have my super smiling, highly energetic, loves to give hugs, picky eating son to spend every waking moment with. He brings such a joy to my life! We recently picked up a few educational place mats at Walmart for $1 and used them with breakfast this morning. Gavin wanted to sit at the big table with me with no high chair. He likes the chance to eat without being contained every now and then! Eventually we started talking about the United States Map place mat and Gavin can officially show you where Georgia is located! I think I've annoyed him all day by repeatedly asking "Where do you live?", "Where's Georgia?", "Gavin, can you say Georgia?" but he's doing GREAT with it! Then he wants about 15 high fives after he answers correctly. I love it! (Video at end of post)

Later Gavin napped and I did some cleaning around the house and got ready for the day. I was bound and determined to get outta the house! After a few days of staying home in pajamas the walls just start closing in and I have to get out. We first went to Babies R Us to pick out a baby shower gift for a friend. That quick trip turned into an hour because Gavin and I were having so much fun in there. He wanted to try out each tricycle, motorized car, train set, etc. that they had to offer. His favorite was a tricycle that had a radio play when you hit the button - he was doing some dancing in the aisles for sure. I did have a good coupon so we picked out a train set for Gavin (he LOVE Reagan's when we were in Tennessee). I couldn't believe the prices of the Thomas the Train sets, so we definitely went with the generic!

Next we headed to the mall to do soft play with Neelee and Max and cheap dinner in the food court. I did find a SUPER adorable outfit for Gavin for St. Patrick's Day while we were there. I can't wait for the parade, he's gonna be the most handsome little boy watching his daddy in the parade!

Gavin crashed on the drive home but quickly woke up when he remembered he had a new train set to play with. He made me laugh with all his "choo choo's". He LOVES this set!

Enjoy our pictures AND videos from today...

In other news, I'm working on a BIG project... definitely a work in progress but I can't wait to get it finished and share with everyone. Might be a few days or few weeks before I get it finalized, but I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks!
