Nate has gotten into a habbit of wearing his socks on his hands and arms like gloves. Usually he does this while holding his new nurf gun. He calls his gun, "power" Not sure where he heard that since he has always called them "gun guns" so its funny to hear him ask if I have seen his power when he mis places it.
Here it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God has blessed us with this house in sooooo many ways! Especially allowing Sylas! I am sooooooo excited and cant wait to get up there! I will send the address through email a few days before I leave out. Everything is still on track and I am just finishing up on some packing. Nate has been a big help with holding the lids of the boxes shut so that I can tape them together.
Well its official! Nate and I are moving to Bend Oregon! Mom and Dad should be down here either late the day before Thanksgiving or the day of Thanksgiving to start loading the truck up! I know Nate does not sense anything yet, but I know Sylas sure does. Finally a place that is flea free and not so hot. Jamie is re-inlisting for Fort Lewis in Washington and getting it on hold for 6 years so that will give me plenty of time to finish school! As soon as we get up there I am sure my blog will be alot more busy. HAI will keep ya'll posted!Please pray for safe travels....
I know its short but it was something that I sent to Jamie. Its hard being apart for annys. Its crazy that Nates b day does not bother me, Thanksgiving, Christmas but for some reason this one kinda hit me hard. Its like writing a visual diary. I get the sniffles out making it and then I feel all better.
Well as ya'll probably saw from the blog, Jamie came home on emergency leave for RR (two week vacation). We headed to the airport last night but there was no one at the ticket counter so he missed his flight. So we went into the "big town" and went to Applebees for dinner. Nathan was very good and had fun pretending to shake sugar packets over his food. Jamie bought Nate (and us HAHAHA) a WII for an early birthday/Christams present, so we were able to play that for one more night together. Luckily he got another flight out for today. Jamie told Nate that he was going to work for awhile. Nate said he was going to be a good boy for his daddy. Jamie told Nate that I was going to take him to McDonalds on the way home. As I am pulling up into our drive way Nate wakes up (45 minute drive) and is hystericle to find out where we were. "MAMA DADA SAYS WE GO TO MCDONALDS!" I sat there in my seat as I was about to turn off the ignition and turned around to look at him. "He did say that didnt he" Nates response "Yes he did! Mc dooonalds Mc doooonalds (swaying his body back and forth) So there we were turning around to head back to McDs. WOW this "second" deployment is alot rougher then the first initial one. We took a de-tour and headed to Blockbuster so he could get Kung Fu Panda. Then came home, watched it, and he was out like a light bulb.Jamie says there is a chance that he might be able to come again for another RR either in the spring or summer of next year since he came home so early. I told him not to tell me and suprise me. I can just imagine how exciting that would be to hear a knock at the door and there he would be standing!!!!!!!!! I know I should not get my hopes up but its still excited to think about.
What a wonderful day it was! Jamie, Nate, and I headed out for Nate's true first trick or treating. The post was crowded with kids before it even got dark. It reminded me so much of the movie E.T. Most of the people would sit in their drive ways and let the kids walk up to them for the candy. Nate was confused at first and traded candy with people. Instead of accepting or grabbing a piece he would take a piece from his bucket, put it in their bucket, and then take a piece. Jamie and I just laughed. Jamie said to Nate, "buddy your kinda missing the point here" HAHAHHAHA I thought to myself this is interesting. Yet, he had a hard time saying please or thank you. I see trick or treating as a great way to teach kids this good life lesson, but Nate felt uncomfortable and even shy which was VERY UNLIKE him. Instead of a 'thank you' he would shout, "IM BUZZ LIGHT GEAR!" There was a time where we were walking behind a little ballerina girl and Nate thought he would walk up beside her, have a conversation, and then start trick or treating with her. She walked to her house and Nate kept watching her and bumping into Jamie's leg. When we got back Jamie inspected the candy and Nate was generous and shared with his da da put some in a bag for Jamie. Nate was not interested in cleaning the pumpkin out, but he enjoyed playing with the insides. Jamie carved a cute face on it, and Nate had fun blowing it out over and over and over again like a candle. Once he realized that the pumpkin looked better lit, he sat there and starred at it.
