Exciting News!

*Main Post is having both an All Saints and All Souls Mass at 5PM - woohoo! We can meet Mr. 2nd Lt. after work and go as a family! This is exciting because I thought they might not have a special time since the Obligation got bumped being its on a Monday (ugh. lazy Americans) and was dreading wrangling both boys at Mass. This, however, leads me to my next exciting news:

*I survived my first official solo outing with two kids: Mass. Appropriate, no? Mr. 2nd Lt. was sick this morning and Boyo begged to be allowed to go too (I know, right? Begging for Church? Be still my beating heart!) so off I went, with two kids. And? Both were beautifully behaved - Pumpkin slept and John was excellent. Thus leading to exciting news number 3:

*The Starbucks next to the Commissary is now open! Hooray! We celebrated good behavior at Mass and Mama surviving with an Iced Tea Lemonade and Chocolate Milk. Ironically, Pumpkin also got milk for being good, albeit not of the chocolate variety. (wouldn't that be something?)

*And, lastly, the exciting news everyone really cares about - the winner of the giveaway!

If this postpartum Mama counted correctly, that means Ashley, you won! I will email you shortly to get your address.

Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday!
