On a Mission Monday

Well, I couldn't keep a secret from Chad for long.  He ended up finding out about last week's "secret mission" I had for him after all.  He took like 3 guesses (all incorrect ones) and then I caved and told him.  I finally took his old teddy bear, Sneaker, in to be repaired.  To be absolutely clear, Chad does not still sleep with his childhood teddy bear or anything like that.  Haha!  He does still have it though.  It just happened to be something he hung on to over the years.

Anyways, he received this special bear for his 3rd birthday.  Her name is Sneaker because every night he would take her to bed with him, and she would inevitably end up on the floor or sneak away from him sometime in the night.  This bear has been stored in a closet for awhile and has seen better days.  Our daughter is now almost 2 1/2 years old. So I thought I'd fix up ole' Sneaker a bit and let her receive some love from another little family member.


Blake and I took her to "the teddy bear doctor" (a.k.a. the dry cleaners) last week to see if they could help us out.  They were more than happy to mend her wounds and clean her up.  We were told Sneaker would be ready for pick up this morning, but when we went to get her, they said they will need a couple more days.  Apparently, whenever they receive teddy bears, they hand wash them and they just haven't gotten to it. 


So Sneakers's transformation is not yet complete.  Blake is very concerned about daddy's teddy bear though, and I have assured her that Sneaker is in good hands.  Not that you all are on the edge of your seats, but I will post an "after" pick once we get her back. :)


It was kind of nice to have a Monday mission being completed by someone other than myself.  I was able to get other stuff done around here.  I still have my old closet clothes to get rid of, but luckily there are many charities around here that offer pick up from your front door.  I'm just waiting for the next flyer that advertises the next date, and out the front door these clothes will go.


This week's mission: Get all of the clothes that no longer fit Blake into storage bins.  
She is growing up too quickly.  I am tired of sorting through several sizes trying to find what will and what won't fit her.  This is something that has been on my to-do list for too long.  I'm over it.  


Happy Monday everyone!  I hope you all have a great week with an unexpected wonderful surprise in there somewhere.  Never know when something good is just around the corner!:)
