Victory #1 for today.

Well, the lost gloves have been found. A.J. and I left about ten minutes earlier than normal for school today, and we parked and walked into the building. We went down the stairs and to his classroom first, meeting his teacher just as she arrived. I asked her if she'd found a pair of gray gloves (figuring it was best before diving headfirst into the "lost'n found"), and she had. She'd found them on the floor of backpack row, and she'd put them on her desk, hoping someone would pick them up today. I thanked her immensely, and A.J. promptly ZIPPED them up in his backpack. Mrs. Thoma also told him that another good place to put his gloves would be stuffed up inside his sleeves... so we'll see. ;-)

We chatted a bit, and then I left. I pulled back into the driveway at 8:10am - exactly the normal time, and that's even with taking a small detour due to a road being closed off as part of this exercise we're in at the base. Adventure over - yay.

Yay for found gloves :) What state are you guys in? i wish it snowed here in Florida. I didn't know ANYTHING about military life until i moved to jacksonville ... and then all the sudden all my friends were military brats/navy brats and we were going on base all the time to go shopping (good deals at the exchange). At least when i was little i never had to worry about losing my gloves :)

We're in Nebraska currently. I grew up in Texas myself, so I never had to much worry about losing gloves or mittens either. ;-)

I know I don't comment much, but I LOVE reading your entries about the boys and all the wonderful little day-to-day adventures you have with them. I'm an only child and grew up in a neighborhood without kids my age, and although my cousins have children, they're scattered across the country and I never get to see them. Reading your entries about your kids playing in the snow, having hot cocoa for the first time, and the like just adds a bright spot of cheer to my day. Thanks so much for friending me! :)

I am so glad you found AJ's gloves! :)
I have been shoving gloves into coat sleeves for YEARS.

I'd never heard of such tactics before! Then again, I spent a large chunk of my life in Texas, not needing such things as gloves in the first place.
