Blogging is out the window...

The Marine had a safe and relatively uneventful flight back to the Midwest! I am more than happy to have him home for a few days, but that pretty much means blogging is out of the window. For the most part anyways...

It was great fun going to pick him up. I told him that there was no way, no how that I would be at that airport to pick him. He was going to go home with his older brother.

Come on now. You really think I would be letting him touch foot in Kansas without me being there? What a gullible little Marine.

I took the monster with me and we had a great time in Wichita before his flight got in. We went to the mall and saw Santa..

She told him everything she wanted. No candy cane. An iCarly zhuzhu pet. A PINK doodlebear. And something else that I've forgotten by now. She didn't scream, cry, or look at me with fear in her eyes so I took the trip as a success. She was hesitant at first, but once she realized I wasn't leaving her to fend for herself she did really good and wanted to go back!

That little monster is so much fun to be around. I love having time where it's just the two of us (three if you count Ava).

And finally! When we had exhausted all that the mall had for us (or we were running out of time), we headed to the airport. She wasn't informed why we were going to Wichita, she just thought we were seeing Santa. As we got closer and closer to the airport she put two and two together. And then it was as though she was given her own line of cocaine.

The girl went bonkers. It was absolutely adorable. She took off running and screamed at him when she saw him. I think she melted the hearts of everybody in the airport. Love her to pieces.

Yesterday, that little goon had two Christmas programs; one for school and one for church. I'm so glad the Marine was home to watch her. She is one heck of a girl. My kids better be phenomenal or I might love her more than my own spawn!

Cutest Jessie, Angel, and Cow I have ever seen! :)
