Dad returned last night after having been out of town for 5 days. Thankfully we split up the week by checking into Grandma and Grandpa's over the weekend (they offer a fantastic reduced rate with a Saturday night stay) but prior to and post, we girls can get all crazy over here by doing things we rarely do.......long (and I mean loooonnnnngggg) walk to the park to help pass the witching 4pm - 6pm crazy hour. Eating breakfast for dinner. You get the idea... I'd load up the girls around 4:30pm, we'd walk up to a park, they'd play their little hearts out and then we'd head home around 6/6:30pm.
Late afternoon snack
The fresh air works wonders on their attitudes (and mine)
Rain boots with attitude
I mean....holy cuteness
Her 'polar bear' was a constant fixture this day....and since you can't hear what she is saying I will gladly relay: Mom, I'm not ready to go home. Polar Bear is not ready to go home. Just go back and sit down and I will tell you when I'm ready.
*ps - I'm well aware the boots are on the wrong feet
Chalk! Fun when she's not trying to lick it.
This girl kills me...she LOVES dogs. Whenver we see them in parks, she makes a beeline wanting to play. This picture was two seconds after the dog she was eyeing wagged his tail in her face for the 50th time (such a fun game)...her reaction:
The best part of late afternoon walks? Stumbling upon my lovely Aunt and Uncle's house only to be invited back....one glass of wine....and a delicious dinner on the patio....and dessert later we returned to our house at 8:30pm.
So Grant, while I don't love the long business trips, as long you leave me with decent weather we're cool....lest I forget all the design and decorating projects I like to take on when he is not home to object. Love you....
