Life with Luke: When Mama is away.........

When Mama is away.........

The kids will play.

With powder, apparently.

I unexpectedly spent the day in the hospital yesterday (I'm fine). Nate was in charge of the kids as family was out of town, our sitters out of pocket, and we didn't imagine that it would turn into the all day event that it did, so we didn't want to bother friends.

Being a stay at home Dad (even if it's for less than a full day) is hard.

Lesson learned.

I love it, I love it! I got a text on Thursday night from Sean that said "YOUR baby got into your bread flour." Silly daddies.

SO glad you're okay.

Poor Nate. Getting schooled by toddlers sucks. They are ruthless!

So glad you are better now.

J ~ Nate was making them lunch when he heard squeals of delight from the living room and instantly knew something very very wrong was happening :)

I have to say that I was impressed with his response, the house looked great and the kids were freshly bathed when we finally got home that night.
