A First!

Monday morning I left my post as Mother and Homeschool Mom (and Taekwondo instructor). I left those positions for two days! Yes, I left John alone with the girls, and the dog, for two entire days. I went to Charlotte to take my Dad to his appointments Monday and Tuesday.

When I arrived home last night, everyone was still alive and the house had not been totally destroyed. However, it was noted to me that an hour-and-a-half before my arrival, the house was a disaster, "it was all hands on deck" to get it cleaned up. :)  I did notice the dishes in the sink were still wet when I came in, but I was grateful they were washed.

Of course, John had to live up to the "fun parent" persona he has created from himself. He bought them more LEGO mini figures, Chloe "glasses", Nestle cookies for lunch on Monday, pizza for dinner on Monday, electronic putt-putt all day Tuesday, and Firehouse Subs for dinner Tuesday. Truly I cannot compete with him. I also found this on the breakfast bar:
John's new deli sign
There is no competition, he wins! :)

NOTE: I added photos of the new bar stools below.

Two days without kids? What's that like?
