Midweek Randoms

Last Thursday, Dac and I had dentist appt's in Wichita. I, of course, took that opportunity to shop at Target. =) Used some coupons and got all this for $81... saving about that same amount. 

We also took the opportunity to use a gift card at Applebees and had a nice little lunch - just the two of us.

Friday, Dac had to work a track meet, so Reid and I ran a couple errands then went out to eat Mexican food with family. That night was Reid's first night without a pacifier. We'd been working through the week to only give it to him during naps and at bedtime. That night however, total torture for both of us. He screamed and cried for over 45 minutes. Any kind of comforting I offered just made him even more upset. =( It was heartbreaking but I'm happy to report that he has been pacifier free since his nap earlier that Friday. It's still a bit of a struggle but it has improved a ton. I'm happy to be coming out on the other side of this.

Saturday, we hung out and did house work until that afternoon when Val came over to watch Reid so we could go to Wichita for a photo session.

 Sunday, Reid and I went to church while Dac got some work done. A teacher at our church has started hosting a "mom and me"-type Sunday school class for the littlest kids once a month. We missed last month's due to being out of town, so this was Reid's first time in Sunday school. =) We worked on a craft, listened to Bible stories, sang Bible songs and used instruments, more stories... puzzles... snack. It was a good time!

 Reid, of course, enjoyed the music time.

 He even made me this. ;)

Once Reid was napping, I ran to Wal-Mart, then we went to watch Dac's soccer game. It was so hot but we still had a good time being outside and cheering him on. He even scored!

Monday night, Dac worked late again but we were able to have a little family fun when he got home.

Dac was blowing air on Reid's face...

Then, Dac and I watched 24: Live Another Day - the new 24 mini series. We are big 24 fans and are super pumped for Jack to be back. =) We ate M&M's I'd gotten on sale earlier in the day. Also, all this deodorant... 24 cents a piece. I was quite impressed with myself.

 Tuesday, Dac had to work late... again... so Reid and I played photo shoot while I was getting supper ready. I believe we were playing peak-a-boo at this point.

 Reid's signature "more!"

 Later, Dac gave in and shared his yogurt. ;) This little boy is going to eat us out of house and home.

 I took these yesterday when, once again, Dac was working late. Ha, are you sensing a theme? =) Busy time of year. I just decided he looked extra big, so I took a picture.

 Reid continues to jabber more and now enjoys 'cleaning' his tray, hands, and face after eating.

 Oh this boy. Excuse me while I scoop up my puddle of a heart.
