TGIF

We're happy that it's Friday for a number of reasons:

1. Tanner came home from a week long work trip in Virginia (the state, not the little MN city)

2. It's payday for me

3. It's pop day for Tanner (he only drinks pop on Fridays and Saturdays...weirdo)

4. It was casual day for Miles at daycare, so he wore sweatpants (just kidding. Every day is casual for that kid)
5. Tomorrow is Saturday, October 4th, which means Miles will experience his first Gustie football game and I will be binge shopping with my girlfriends at the MOA (Tanner even wrote "Annie shopping" on the calendar...I love him!)

Obviously the greatest thing about this day being Friday is that Tanner is home. We missed him! I can't complain about single mommyhood, though. Miles is such a good little boy -- easy to predict and very playful. He definitely had some spaz sessions and was a bit bipolar at times, but he's my boy and I'll take him in any form. All of the grandparents pitched in and helped take care of him while I had meetings in St. Paul on Tuesday and Wednesday. I think Miles liked the change of pace with them. I'm sure he got away with lots of things...none of which I want to know about. :)

Here's the balloon Miles picked out for his daddy:

It even says "Welcome Back"! Who would've thought Miles would be such a good balloon picker outer?

Lots of adventures to come this weekend. Although nothing compared to what Cousin Hannah is up to... She's going to Florida with her mommy and daddy and gets to make a pit stop at her Great Aunt Mary's house. Rumor has it her second cousin Matthew might even make an appearance. Don't forget your camera, Hannah! And watch out for those tootsie sharks.

Happy Friday!
