Surprise, Surprise!!

While I was in our basement looking for plastic tote for the baby stuff I have been wanting to put away, I found a lot of small items that my husband bought while he was in deployment.  I'm just so amazed that it's been four years and they haven't even been opened.  I actually doubt he even remembers some of them.  I'm sure he'll be surprised when he gets home later if I showed him.

I found different kinds of key chains he got from Japan, some souvenir items we both got when we were in Malaysia, and something interesting caught my attention - a small wooden box that, from its design, I could tell he bought it when he was in the Middle East.  I'm talking about a humidor. It's actually nice, but I'm just wondering why he decided to buy one when he doesn't even smoke!?  Perhaps, something he wanted to have because he obviously liked it.  Well, I do, too.  I want to make use of it, but how?  Store in receipts?  That could work.  I don't know.  I'll wait and ask him if I can do whatever I want with it.  I mean, he's probably saving it so I just don't want to sit there and take it without asking for his permission.  After all, it's his thing.

Anyway, I'm so glad I finally was able to put away the baby stuff!  Mission accomplished!  I really have been procrastinating about it, but good thing I really didn't have much to do today, so I took care of that.  Another thing I can cross out from my spring cleaning to-do list.  Now, time to make dinner and take care of the babies.
