WHAT DID YOU PLAN FOR YOUR SO UPON ARRIVAL?

[mybackpages 0]

I bought a dresser for her. And last night the kids and I went shopping and picked up a huge warm comforter and pillow for her. Western Washington will be a bit cooler than she is used to in the Philippines and United Arab Emirates.

My son also hand crafted a card saying "Welcome Home" except it says Welkome! And both kids want to go shopping for flowers for her when we meet her at SeaTac airport Tuesday to bring her home.

I figure on waiting till she arrives to shop for things she will need beyond that. I know she is going to need a warm coat, still snowing off and on here, and when not, cold and/or raining and windy.

Tuesday night can't get here fast enough!

(As to the guys perspective on razors, I have always used Gillette Mach3, it is most definitely the best!)

WOW Tuesday! Congratulations! I think the "welkome" sign is a keeper and more precious than anything else you could get for her!!

My hubby wants approval on everything, so what I haven't done yet, I'll wait until he gets here so we can go together and get what he wants. not have much to bring with him after his brothers get through claiming his stuff as their own. He always lets them, too! Grrrrrr!

Wow, I so sympathize with this! Maj arrived with a teeny suitcase and practically no clothes because he gave them all to his brothers. So then we had to buy a bunch of stuff which we really didn't have the money for. Then when he went back to visit, despite the fact that we'd bought a ton of clothes for his brothers, he returned with almost nothing. Arghh!!

Similarly, my husband arrived with a small suitcase too. He brought very little. We had to go buy a whole bunch of things as well (at a time when we had little due to paperwork and wedding). My family was so taken by how little he had brought that they all went out shopping and bought him outfits, etc.

Now that he has gone back to Morocco, he spent the night a couple of days ago bringing back a great share of his wardrobe to give to his brother or friend. He said he doesn't wear this or that all that much and might as well give it to them!

As for what to have when he/she arrives...I just put up a "Welcome Home" banner and had a small treat for him. We then went out together the next day after we determined what he needed to get.
