I decided to go down and spend a little time with Jaime on Saturday. Lucas was going to get his haircut with Mary Jo and so we'd have some time to scrapbook. Well, I left a little later than I wanted to and so by the time I got down there, it wasn't long before little Lucas got home. But it worked out. He wanted to watch a movie so we scrapbooked while he watched Cars (his favorite and one he could watch over and over and over). We were actually more productive than we ever have been I think. We only have a few more pages to go and her pregnancy book will be done...and then the start of Lucas' book!
I left her house a little later than I had wanted, hmm, a trend that day I think. Michael and I were having girls night out/guys night out Saturday night. It was the first time in, well I think ever that we have done that. He was already gone by the time I got home and Charlee was pulling in as I was walking in the door. I got ready pretty quickly and then we headed up to Jill's. We had a pretty good time. We went out to eat and then played darts at a few different places. We ended up back at Jill's and drank coffee and ate muffins and talked until almost 6am, again later than I had anticipated. It was so much fun and much needed.
The really bad part about staying up until 6am and only getting a few hours of sleep? It makes for a really long day at drill the next day. I swear last night was the longest night I've ever had. The clock slowly ticked by and once I looked at it and I thought I was there for several hours and only 2 hours had gone by. The phone was extremely busy too. The Brigade is starting to come home and so their replacements are coming in. I think they have more time on their hands now. Plus, the closer to home it gets the harder it gets so those calls are probably keeping a little sanity.
And on a side note, Lucas is starting to read letters! Jaime called me all "freaked out" because he read a letter (I) on her shirt. I thought something horrible had happened when she called. But afterwards she had asked him about other letters and he could name quite a few. I don't remember which ones but if she updates her blog (eh hm) then she can let you know. He's such an incredibly smart, cute little kid. I miss him a lot after the days I get to spend a little time with him.

Jeremy was acting really weird on the phone for like, 15 minutes, and he said it was because he thought you were still listening! Anyway, I think he had too much caffeine along with being giddy with excitement about coming home! We watched Cars 2 more times on Sunday!
