Today

It is cold!  I woke up and had to wear a sweatshirt and I'm thinking I need to get some socks on.  I went in search of pants for the girls and came up with nothing!  They don't seem bothered by it and are out jumping on the trampoline and keeping plenty warm. 

Last night Evangeline woke up 6 times.  It was the first hard night I have had with her since she was born.  Either she is getting teeth or she was cold.  I had her layered in clothes and blankets, but it was much colder than it has been. 

Grandma is here and took the littles while I did school yesterday.  It was the first good day of school I have had since she was here last time.  Amazing what a little peace and quiet can do.  We visited until 11 last night.  It's good to have girl time.

We miss Daddy a lot.  I am able to call/text him, but the connection is so bad that the calls always drop a few times and break up a lot making it hard to hear.   We were able to text videos of Mareea's birthday and hip hop class as well as some of the little ones just being themselves.  I hope it helps him feel connected to home and know how much we love and miss him. 

I ordered this

   

and this (it says navy wife on one side and my name on the other)
 

 since I am feeling very "navy wife" with my husband being gone.  And those big key chains make it so much easier for me to find my keys.  I had one before, but it broke. 

I have not been crafting or sewing at all and I'm upset with myself for it.  It just seems there is no time.  I now have a sewing room, but it is presently full of bins and fabric piles waiting to be organized so it's not exactly inviting me to be productive. 

We are planning a trip to the commissary and the BX to make an exchange. 

I have put some of our dried goods into glass jars on the counter and they look so nice.  I've started using big Motts applesauce jars to store dried beans in my pantry.  It saves space and looks so much better than the bags did.  We need more jars for sugar, flour and oats.
