And I haven't updated my blog since then! There are some fun updates to come. Halloween, for one!
Mac drove back from Houston last week. He left Wednesday after work, then drove about 5 hours, stopped at a hotel, then pushed on driving on Thursday. He arrived home at 11:30 pm! It was a long drive! But he was happy to be home, and I was happy to see him.
The kids had to wait until the next morning, though! Josie was suspicious as to what he was doing home, in person. Why wasn't he still in the computer? Or in my cell phone? Why was he actually standing there? She talked him through the process of getting ready for the day, though. She told him her diaper was wet, she pointed out what she wanted to wear, she told him she needed milk in her cereal... She is a *big girl* and she knows it. It didn't take her long to figure out that Daddy does whatever she says... So, she also tells him that she wants to watch Dora whenever she feels like it. She asks Daddy, not me! Wonder why...
On Saturday, we stayed home mostly (except for Kate, who went to her Homecoming dance with a group of friends.) Luke was feeling sick and running a temperature, so the other kids got to spend a lot of time with Daddy. Mac and I left the kids with Kate for a while to go to the gym. I hadn't gone in a LONG time, so it was good, but painful... We'll see if I pencil in time to go to the gym on a more regular basis. Anyway, Saturday was a good day. The kids enjoyed having Mac back, and I tolerated his stuff being spread out over the entire main floor of the house for the most part.
On Sunday, we had several games to attend. Kate had her last game of the season for soccer, and the twins each had volleyball games. Sunday was also Halloween! Fun times!
Then it was Monday, and Mac went back to work. Nothing much has changed on that front. The kids were out of school on Monday and Tuesday. We didn't accomplish much those days, but I finally got Mac to stow his junk somewhere else. Storage is an issue in our house, but at least most of the stuff has been transferred from the living room floor to the overflowing closet. I guess it's an improvement...
Anyway, it's been great to have him back, and since he arrived here a week ago, I thought it was time for an update!
So glad he is back. Though they're always working and often times not much help, it's nice to know that they'll be home at some point. Can't wait to see the Halloween pictures.
